Shortly after this report was issued to Ontario bee-keepers, a circular was re ceived from N. E. France, among other things saying that 8 cents was the ruling price for extracted honey. Of course this no doubt refers solely to the United States markets, and is not likely to influence many Ontario bee-keepers to sell cheaper. All the same, it is a pretty good thing for us Canucks that there is a duty of 3 cents per pound on honey coming into Canada from countries other than Brit- ish colonies. To the latter, the prefer- ential tariff applies, and to this largely may be attributed the large amount of honey imported from Jainaica for manu- facturing purposes; the duty being 2 cents per pound. The Jamaica product will never come into competition with our clover honey for table use, but for manufacturing purposes there is no question but that it is a factor well worth taking into Apiary of J.
