 Root. I diin't wish to Hatier; but if I ever dealt 

 with a Ptrniifht. fair dealer, it is your h<>n<>r Extrac-

Underthls head will be inserted, free of ctiarg'e. tne names of 

 all those having honey to sell, as well as those wanting to buy. 

 Please mention how much, what kind, and prices, as far as pos- 

 sible. As a general thinp, I would not advise you to send your 

 honey away to be sold on commission. If near home, wneie 

 youcanlookafterit. itis often a very pood way. Bvall means, 

 develop your home market. For 2o cents we can furnish little 

 boards to hang up in your doorvara. with the words, '• Honev

CITY MAHKJUTH. 

 New Tobk. — Honey — Our honey market is in 

 abort the Same ciii.dition as it was a mouth ago; 

 however, warm weather still prev tils, and has a ten- 

 dency lo depress prices. We desire to inform pro- 

 ducers of the fHCt that we are moking a specialty of 

 New York State h^uey, and piiicing the SMme to 

 dealers under such brand. There is no doubt that 

 New York State has not had a fair footing wiih 

 other sections, owing to the fact that most of New 

 York hOUfy has been labeled and Nold as Ualifornia 

 honey. We believe our State honey will compare 

 with any in this country; therefore we have decided 

 to represent all honey as coming from the section it 

 leally does. We quote as f< llo»s: 

 Fancy white-clover in 1-lb. sect's, no glass, 19'/4@20 

 Fair to good '• " " " " '• 17 @l« 



Fancy white-clover in 2-lb. sect's, glassed, 17 @18 

 Fair to good *' " " " " 15 ©16 



Fancy buckwheat " 1-lb. " no glass, 15M!©I6 

 Fair " " 1 lb. " " " 14 



Fancy " " 2-lb. " glassed, 13'/2@14: 



Ext'd honey, best white-clover, in kegs or 



small bbls., 10 @I0V4 

 " ♦' " buckwheat, " " 814® 9 



B'eswax is scarce, and has a tendency to luuber 

 prices. We quote for prime yellow. H3@33'/4.

New York.— Honey.— The demand for honey has 

 been good all during the month of October, and i-* 

 still increasing at the liegiiming of this month. We 

 expect to h'lve a good market, and dispose of la'ge 

 quantities from now until the first of January. We 

 quote as lollows: 

 Fancy white-clover, 1-lb. sections, paper boxps. 21c

Clrveland.— Honey.— The honey market never 

 was better with us than thisyear; every lot of choice 

 white honpy has been sold on arrival at 18®19 for 1- 

 Ib., and 17@18 for 21bs. Second quality is not in 

 good demand, and does not go off readily. For ex- 

 tracted hone.v there is no inquiry. 



Beeifwax. 28 c, but scarce. A. C. KENDEii, 



Nov. 9, 1888. 115 Ontario St.. Cleveland, O. 



[Well, friend K., that is good on comb honey, and 

 sounds quite encouraging; but why in the world 

 don't you Cleveland folks work up a trade on ex- 

 tracted honey? If you get some good honey nicely 

 put up in neat little sample packages, to gUe them 

 « taste, you could do it easily.] 



Chicago — H ney — There is a stead • demand for 

 comb honey by the retail trade in a single-'package 

 way. There is suffii-ient, howpver, to warrant the 

 thought that all g.iod honey will be sold before 

 spring. The experience of last year is preventing 

 any speculation in it. many retailers having, in the 

 latter pnrt of the winter, to sell for less than they 

 paid in the fall. I quote choice white comb, one- 

 P'und p>»ckHges, 20c ; VA to 2 lb., 15@»18. Extracted 

 honpv, mwc. 



Beeswax.— Yellow, 33c.; medium, 2ft@%c ; stocks

Nov. 9, 1883. 161 South Water St., Chicago, III. 



Cincinnati. — Honei/. — The demand for comb 

 honey is fair with a fair supplv. Offerinirs of ex- 

 tracted honey are plentiful, and there is a larcre sup- 

 ply on the market. The demand is slower ihan last 

 senson. but appears to he irapr^tving gradu>illv. 

 Choice comb brings 12@ 1.5c., and extracted honey 7® 

 9 o'l arrivMl. 



Beeswax i>» of ready sale at 38(??i'J0c. on arrival.

St. T.ouis — Houey.— Choice comb selling lightly 

 at 14@16c. per lb. in fancy packages; inferior dull 

 at lower fiuures. Strained and extracted, salable in 



lot« at K!/2®7«!.

Quite a brisk trade has started up since our offer 

 of 5 per cent off on all present orders. But since we 

 are not badly crowded, we extend the time to Dec. 1: 

 in other words, a deduction of 5 per cent will be 

 made on anv goods mentioned in our price list, on 

 all orders reaching us before the 1st of December. 

 This refers to subscriptions for Gleanings, with all 

 the rest. Perhaps it might be well for some of the 

 club s.gents to send us now, $85.00 for 100 copies, and 

 they would then have all next year to dispose of 

 them. Gleanings for 1884 will be published its 

 present size as a semi-monthly. Providence permit- 

 ting. Now bear in mind, friends, this will not ap- 

 ply to any orders reaobing U9 after D90. 1.
