Cincinnati. Jan 31. — The demand for 

 honey is rather good, considering the great 

 quantity that is still in the West unsold. 

 We continue to sell fancy comb at $5.75 to 

 S4.ooacase; fancy extracted honey at Qfliic 

 a pound, according to the quantity and qual- 

 ity purchased; while foramber extracted in 

 barrels we are getting from 6!=W7!-5C a pound. 

 We are paying 30c a pound delivered here 

 for choice, bright yellow beeswaxabsolutely

New York. Feb. i.— Comb honey is well 

 cleaned up. and prices are well sustained 

 for what little odd lots are coming in. As 

 to extracted, the market is weakening, and 

 prices are gradually declining. Strictly 

 fancy clover. California white and water- 

 white sage hold their own fairly well, on ac- 

 count of not much stock being around. 

 There are large supplies of all other grades, 

 such as alfalfa, amber, light-amber and 

 white, etc.. and prices show a decided down- 

 ward tendency. In fact, in large quantities 



quotation prices will have to be shaded in 

 order to effect sale. We quote nominally ; 

 .Mfalfa. b!i®7Kc per pound, according to 

 quality; California white sage at from 8^@oc 

 per pound; water-white at from Qi^@ioc;

"Soutliern Bee-Cultiire" is the 



name of a booklet written by J. J. 

 Wilder, perhaps the most extensive 

 bee-keeper and honey-producer in the 

 whole State of Georgia. It is a real 

 hand-book of Southern bee-keeping, 

 with methods so simply described that 

 they are easy to carry out. I-very bee- 

 keeper, especially in the South, should 

 have a copy of Mr. Wilder's booklet. 

 He conducts apiaries by the dozen, and 

 produces many tons of honey every 

 season. He tells in careful detail just 

 how he does it. The price of this book- 

 let is .')() cents, or we now club it with 

 the American Bee Journal for a vear — 

 both for $1.30. Send all orders to
