three inontlisag-0, so that the best huiiej' could 

 have been saved for exhibition. Jleiiibers are 

 urged to make the best possible use o£ the 

 opportunity offered, to brinu the best honey 

 and other products typical of our industry, 

 and to prepare their exhibits so that they will 

 show to the best advantage. The place of our 

 meeting will assure us a large attendance of 

 bee-keepers and others interested in bees and 

 honey. The premiums are worth contesting 

 for because of their value. The honor of 

 winning will be worth more than the pre- 

 miums themselves. The judges will be chosen 

 with a view to secure absolute fairness, as 

 well as ability to judge justly.

CONVENTION NOTICES. 



Chicago. — The e.\ecutive committee of the 

 Chicago Bee-Keepers' Association has ordered 

 that the next meeting- be held all day and even- 

 id^, Dec. 5, 1901, at the Briggs House club-room. 

 This is arranged on account of the low rates to 

 be in force then for the International Live- 

 stock Exposition in Chicago at that time (Nov. 

 30 to Dec. 7), being one fare plus $2 dO for the 

 round-trip This notice goes by mail to nearly 

 300 bee-keepers near Chicago, and should result 

 in the largest attendance we have ever had. Dr. 

 C. C. Miller and Mr. C. P. Dadant have promised 

 to be present. Let all come. 



Herman F. Moore, Sec. 



George W. York, Pres. 



Colorado — The Colorado annual meeting 

 promises to be a genuine success. The program 

 has been made out for a number of weeks, and 

 is almost ready for publication. It has come to 

 be a privilege and an honor to read .i paper be- 

 fore our Association, and so very few decline 

 who are invited to write or speak for instruc- 

 tion. One paper is already in the hands of the 

 secretary. On two or three nights a big magic 

 lantern will illustrate talks by famous students 

 of bees and the bee industry. And then we are 

 going to have an e.xhibition of the choicest 

 honey in the United States (made in Colorado, 

 you know], and wa.x, with bees enough to show 

 " how the thing is done." 



If you want to know more, or hive forgotten 

 the dates (Nov. lit, l'>, 20), write to the under- 

 signed, bo.x ^5Z-, Denver, Colo.

Minnesota.— The Minnesota Bee-Keepers' As- 

 sociation will meet in Ply mouth Church, Cor. 

 Slh St. and Nicollet Ave., Minneapolis, Minn., 

 Wednesdav and Thursdav, Dec. 4 and 5, 1901. 

 Mr. W. Z. Hutchinson will give a stereopticon 

 lecture on Wednesday e,-ening. and a good pro- 

 gram is prepared and now in the hands of the 

 printer. Joining the National Bee-Keepers' .\s- 

 sociation in a body will be voted on Wednesday. 

 All bee keepers and those interested in bees are 

 invited. H. G. Acklin, 



Chairman Executive Committee. 



Illinois. — The Illinois State Bee-Keepers' As- 

 sociation will hold its 11th annual meeting 

 Nov. 1') and 20, lo.ii, in room 17, at the State 

 House, in Springfield. As there will be no set 

 program we e.xpect every one to come prepared 

 to ask questions and answer those asked by 

 others. Those who attend our meeting can 

 avail themselves of the Odd Fellows' rates on 

 the railroads as follows: The Central Passen- 

 ger Association has made an open rate of one 

 fare for the round trip. Other roads not in the 

 Central Passenger Association will at least 

 give a rate of a fare and a third for the round 

 trip; and it is e.xpected the roads will all meet 

 the one-fare rate. There is no better way for 

 bee-keepers to have a love-feast than to avail 

 themselves of the cheap railroad rates, and 

 turn out to the meeting; and, if they wish to 

 get a discussion on j-ome particular topic, just 

 write a short paper on same, and rest assured 

 the discussion will follow.

The "JIagazise-Age." — Never since print- 

 ing began has periodical literature been so 

 rich, varied and attractive as at present. A 

 laudable artistic rivalry among publishers 

 has brought their productions to a high pitch 

 of excellence, while unusual activity, ingen- 

 uity and business energy has pushed circula- 

 tion frotn city to cross-road the country over. 

 Keen competition has also brought the price 

 of excellent magazines to a point so low as to 

 touch the pocket lightly. All this has re- 

 sulted in making us a nation of magazine 

 readers. Where one family formerly indulged 

 in a single magazine and counted it a luxury, 

 fifty now looli upon it as a necessity. Pro- 



gressive jienple, indeed, feel that they can 

 hardly keep well abreast of the times without 

 reading three or four magazines each month. 

 Ordinarily this would entail no little expense, 

 but right here the remarkable clubbing offers 

 arranged by the magazine Success, of New 

 York City, afford most substantial aid by 

 making an average cut of one-half on ten 

 leading periodicals. Through these offers, in 

 fact, one can in some cases secure totir favor- 

 ite magazines for the price of one, as may be 

 gleaned frotn a detailed announcement on 

 page 784 of this issue. The offer would not 

 be possible save for the co-operation of sev- 

 eral periodicals in one advertisement, thus 

 effecting a material saving to all concerned — 

 especially to magazine readers.

MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Chicago, Nov. 1. — The market is easier in 

 tone, while prices are nominally ihe same, but 

 would be shaded to effect sales. Some cars of 

 honey enroute to the Eastern cities have been 

 diverted to this and surrounding points, which 

 is having a depressing effect. Comb brings 

 I4(315c for best grades of white; light amber, 

 12@13c; dark grades, low Uc. Extracted, white, 

 5M@6^c, according to quality, flavor and pack- 

 age; light amber, 5'4(a5''4c; amber and dark, 

 5(a»5Kc. Beeswax, Mc. R. A. Bdrnbtt & Co. 



Cincinnati, Oct. 25.— The honey market is 

 rather dull on account of the warm weather. 

 Extracted sells only to manufacturers from 

 StaJbc; better grades alfalfa water-white from 

 6@7c; white clover from S(S,9c. Fancy white 

 comb honey sells from ]3J4@lS!^c. 



C. H. W. Wbbbr. 



Albany, N. Y., Oct. 25.— Honey in good de 

 mand now, as this is the most satisfactory time 

 to sell. Grocerymen are stocking up and will 

 buy lines, when late they only buy enough to 

 piece out. Fancy white comb, 15(a'16c; mixed, 

 14@15c; buckwheat, 13@13c. Extracted, white, 

 6M@7i4c; mixed, 6@6>ic. H.R.Wright. 



Omaha, Oct. 25. — New comb honey is arriving 

 by express in small quantities from Iowa and 

 Colorado, and selling at $3 50 per case in a re- 

 tail way. California extracted honey is being 

 offered carlots at 4^@4-;ic per pound, f.o.b. Cal- 

 ifornia shipping-points, but we have not heard 

 of any sales having been made thus far. The 

 production of extracted honey seems to be quite 



New York, Oct. 18.— Comb honey is in good 

 demand and finds ready sale at the followingr 

 quotations: Fancy white, 15c per pound; No. 1 

 white, 13((iil4c; amber, 12c; buckwheat, 10@llc. 

 Extracted rather quiet at 6(g6^c for white, and 

 5li(a>byic for amber. Beeswax rather quiet at 



27@28C. HiLDRETH & SEGKLKEN. 



Boston, Oct. 21.— There is a fairly good de- 

 mand for stocks with ample supplies at the 

 present writing. Fancy No. 1, in cartons, 

 15546 16c; ANo. 1, in cartons, 15(gll554c; No. 1, 

 15c; very little No. 2 is being received; glass- 

 front cases will bring about 'Ac per pound less. 

 Light California extracted, 7i^'@Sc; Florida 

 honey, 654(3'7c. Blake, Scott & XiBB. 



Des Moines, Oct. 25.— There is very little 

 doing here in new crop of honey. Some small 

 lots of near-by produced comb honey are on the 

 market and selling in a retail way at $3.50 to 

 $3.75 per case. We do not look for much trade 

 in this line before Sept. 1. Our market does not 

 consume a great deal of extracted honey. 



Pevcke Bros. & Chaney. 



Detroit, Oct. 25.— Fancy white comb honey, 

 14(ailSc; No. 1, 13(ai4c; no dark to quote. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 6®7c. Beeswax, 2S(a'26c. 



M. H. Hunt & Son. 



San Francisco, Oct. 30.— White comb, 10® 

 12 cents; amber, 7@'ic; dark, 6ffl7 cents. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 5'A@—; light amber, 4^® — ; 

 amber. 4@— . 



Not much arriving here, nor are spot stocks 

 of large proportions, either of comb or ex- 

 tracted. While demand is not brisk at full cur- 

 rent rates, buyers are not able to obtain note- 

 worthy concessions in their favor, especially 

 where most desirable qualities are sought after. 

 Beeswax, good to choice, light, 26@28c; dark, 

 24® 25c. 



Kansas City, Oct. 25.— Up to the present 

 time only small lots of new comb honey have 

 been on the market, and these met with ready 

 sale on the basis of 15<Sl(,c per pound for fancy 

 white. For next week heavier receipts are ex- 

 pected and quotations are issued at $3.10((S$3.2S 

 per case ior large lots, which would be equal to 

 about 14rd'14i4c: the demand being quite brisk, 

 a firm market is anticipated. Inciuiries for ex- 

 traced are a little more numerous, but large - 

 buyers still seem to have their ideas too low. In 

 a small way 5>4(3^6c is quotable.
