GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE. 



1475 



New York —We are having a good demand for 

 strictly fancy white comb honey. Receipis have been 

 quite heavy and numerous of late, owing principally 

 to the fact that most of the bee-keepers were late in 

 shipping. We quote fancy white at 16 to 17; No. 1, 

 14 to 15; No. 2 and amber. 13; buckwheat, 12 to 13. 

 The demand for extracted continues good, and we 

 have as yet experienced no scarcity, having enough 

 to supply our wants and more. Prices are Arm. We 

 quote California white sage at 9 to 9%; light amber, 

 8 to SYa] amber. 7 to 7^; extracted buckwheat, 654 to 

 7. Nothing is coming along to amount to any thing 

 from the South, and therefore it is hardly worth while 

 to make quotations. What little is coming sells at 

 from 65 to 80 cts. per gallon, according to quality. 

 Beeswax quiet at 29 to 30.

Detroit.— Honey continues to be scarce, and prices 

 are much the same. There seems to be no Michigan 

 extracted, and prices quoted are for the California 

 extracted. The feeling seems to be among commis- 

 sion men that the bee-keepers are holding for a high 

 price, and will have to let it go later cheaper. No. 1 

 and A No. 1 white comb honey, 20c; No. 2, 15 to 18. 

 Extracted, 8 to 8%. Beeswax, 27 to 29.

BtJFFAiiO. — The demand for honey is slow. Not 

 very much good honey is arriving. Prices are held 

 firm for all first quality. There ought to be a better 

 demand soon, for fruit is pretty well gone, and 

 Tha,nksgiving near at hand, so we look for a good de- 

 mand. No. 1, fancy white clover, comb. 17 to 18; No. 

 2, 12 to 14; No. 1, buckwheat, 11 to 1234: No. 2, 10 to 11. 

 White clover, extracted, 8 to 9; amber, 7 to 8; dark, 

 eVs to 7. Beeswax, 30 to 32. W. C. Townsend, 



Nov. 11. Buffalo, N. Y. 



Boston.— Oiir market on honey is very strong, 

 ranging from 16 to 18c for No. 1, with, comparatively 

 speaking, light supplies, and a good demand. Ex- 

 tracted honey, also very light supply, brings 8c.
