Editorial Con}xr)cr)i^^ Comb Honey Cleaned Up.—Messrs. R. A. Bur- nett i& Co., the leading Chicago honey-commission dealers, in a communication to us dated April 22, said this concerning the condition of the honey market in this city : Editor American Bee Journal :—The comb honey has cleaned up well this month, so that the best grade of white brings 13 cents, and there is no surplus of it. A few lots of dark and candied comb remain, but they are insignificant. Thus the season ends with a cleaned-up market for the pro- duct of 1897. The extracted product has been less fortunate, but there is not an excessive amount in sight. R. A. Burnett. Bee-keepers will be glad to know the above, for it is a good condition of affairs, and will give the 1897 crop a fair chance. But, look here : Don't rush a whole lot of the first honey takeu this year, into the hands of some new and irresponsible commission firm, and lei them sell it at a sacrificing price, thus ruining the market for the rest of the year, as did Bart- llng & Co. last year. They received about a carload of flue white comb honey early last year, and offered it at 10 cents a pound ! Of course, that .just knockt out the good prices that they and other dealers might have obtained if they hadn't been in such a hurry to sell, and defraud the shipper. By the way, that case is not settled yet, and Bartling is a member of the present Illinois House of Representatives ! We hope this year bee-keepers will be more careful, and patronize only those firms who are known to be honest and upright in their dealing. A Genuine ""Volunteer" for the New Union is found i
