READERS 



Honey & Beeswax Market Quotations. 



The following rules for grading honey were 

 adopted by the North American Bee-Keepers' 

 Association, and, so far as possible, quota- 

 tions, are made according to these rules; 



F.iNCY.— All sections to be well filled; combs 

 straight, of even thickness, and firmly a.t- 

 tached to all four sides; both wood and comb 

 unsoiled by trnvel-stalii, or otherwise; all the 

 cells sealed except the row of cells ne.xt the 

 wood. 



No. 1.— All sections well filled, but combs 

 uneven or crooked, detached at the bottom. 

 or with but few cells unsealed: both wood 

 and comb unsoiled by travel-stain or other- 

 wise. 



In addition to this the honey is to be classi- 

 fied according to color, using the terms white, 

 amber and dark. That is, there will be "fancy 

 white," " No. 1 dark," etc. 



CHICAGO, III.. July 2.— There l8 little, if 

 any, trade in honey at this time. We quote: 

 Extracted, amber. 4!4(85Hc. Beeswax, 25@27. 



PHILADELPHIA, PA., Apr. 23.— We quote: 

 No. 1 white, 9@10c.; fancy amber, 8@9c. ; 

 fancy dark, 7(38c. Extracted, white clover. 

 10c. ; amber, 5@5V4c.; dark, 4@4(4c. Bees- 

 wax. 25@26c. Comb honey is dull. Extracted 

 In fair demand. Beeswax lower. W. A. S. 



BUFFALO. N. Y.. Apr. 20.— We quote: 

 Fancy white, 15@I 6c.; No. I white, 13@14c.; 

 fancy dark, 8@yc.; No. 1 dark. 7@7S^c. Bees- 

 wax. 25@28c. Trade very dull and honey not 

 moving, except a few fancy lots; anything 

 dark is hard to sell. B. & Co. 



CINCINNATI. O., Apr. 22.— There is no fan- 

 cy white comb honey on our market. Best 

 white sells at 12@14c. in a jobbing way, with 

 a fair demand. Demand is good for extracted 

 at 4@7c.. according to quality. 



Beeswax is in good demand at 25@30c. for 

 good to choice yellow. C. F. M. & S. 



NEW YORK, N. Y., June 24.— No demand 

 for comb honey of any kind. New crop of 

 Southern extracted is arriving freely, and 

 sells fairly good at .")0@52c per gallon for 

 common, and 55@t-:0c per gallon for better 

 grades. Beeswax dull at 26@27c.

Br Prof. A. J. Cook.

 magnificent book of 460 pages, in neat and 

 substantial cloth binding, we propose to give 

 away to our present subscribers, for the wotk 

 of getting NEW subscribers for the American 

 Bee Journal. 



A description of the book here is quite un- 

 necessary— it Is simply the most complete sci- 

 entific and practical bee-book published to- 

 day. Fully Illustrated, and all written in the 

 most fascinating style. The author is also 

 too well-known to the whole bee-world to re- 

 quire any introduction. No bee-keeper is 

 fully equipped, or his library complete, with- 

 out " The Bee-Kebper's Guide." 



Given For 2 Bfew Subscribers. 



The following oBfer is made to present sub- 

 scribers only, and no premium is also given 

 to the two new subscribers -simply the Bee 

 Journal for one year ; 



Send us Two New Subscribers to the Bee 

 Journal (with $2.00), and we will mail yoc a 

 copy of Prof. Cook's book free as a premi- 

 um. Prof. Cook's book alone sent forjl.25. 

 or we club it with the Bee Journal for a year 

 —both together for only $1.75. But surely 

 anybody can get only 2 new subscribers to 

 the Bee Journal for a year, and thus get the 

 book as a premium. Let everybody try for it.
