SPEOIAIi NOTICE.— On January 1,1886, 

 the price of the Weekly Bee Journal will 

 be reduced to One Dollar a Tear. This we 

 have contemplated for some years, and only 

 awaited the proper time to warrant us in 

 issuing- the Weekly Bee Journal, at the very 

 low price of one dollar a yeai*. That time 

 has now come. We shall continue to im- 

 prove the Bee Journal, and it will main- 

 tain its proud position as the leading- bee- 

 paper of the World ! • 



New subsei'ibers will be supplied with the 

 Weekly from now until the end of the year 

 1886, for $1.25. 



Those who have already subscribed for 

 any portion of next year will have the time 

 beyond January 1st doubled. These changes 

 in the mail-list type will be made by Oct. 1. 



To Correspondents. — It would save 

 UB much trouble, if all would be particular 

 to give their P. O. address and name, when 

 writing to this othce. We have several letters 

 (some inclosing money) that have no name; 

 many others having no PostrOlfice, County 

 or State. Also, if you live near one post- 

 office and get your mail at another, be sure 

 to g-ive the address we have on our list. 



^^~ If your wrapper-label reads Sept. 85, 

 please remember that your subscription runs 

 out with this month. Renew at once. 



Bees and Poultry— But few out-door 

 pursuits go so well tog-ether as bees and 

 poultry. Give the poultry the necessary 

 attention in the morning- and evening, and 

 give the bees such of the time between as 

 becomes necessary. We have made arrange- 

 ments by which we can supply the American 

 Poultry Journal (price $1.^5) and the Weekly 

 Bee Journal both for $1,75 a year. This 

 is a rare opportunity to get two standard 

 papers for about the price of one. 



To 2:ive anray a copy of " Honey as Food 

 and Medicine" to every one who buys a 

 package of honey, will sell almost any quan- 

 tity of it. 



Honey and Beeswax Market. 



Office of the American Bek Journal, t 

 Monday. 10 a. m., Sept. 14, 1885. ( 



The following are the latest quota- 

 tions for honey and beeswax received 

 up to this hour : 



CHICAGO. 

 HONEY— Kecelpta of comb honey are coratnd 

 more freely, und the demand 1b iioout equal to It. 

 Yet 10c per pound is all that c»n be obtutnud.

 ent urades and styles ot packages.

BOSTON. 

 HONEY.— There is no chanfre in the market, to 

 speak ut. We have had 8"me new Vermont white 

 clover honey In l-lb. sections, which is very fine. 

 'i'here is a laree crop in thai State. Prices remain 

 as fdllows : Knr l-tb. seolions, i6(c!)'Kc.; f«>r2-lbs., 

 I4(«i(ic. There is little or no sale for extracted. 

 BEESWAX.—30 CIS. per lb.

NEW YORK. 



HONEY.— There is not much change in the 

 market. The nnw crup is corainir in quite freely, 

 and 18 sellinK readily at the following prices: 

 Fancy white clover, in i-lb. secti'tns, I4"tl5 cents ; 

 the same in 2-lb. sections. ]2(,itl3c ; fair to gnnd, 

 inland2li). sections, i(w*I Ic; tancy buckwheat, 

 in l-lb. sections. iKViiL'c.; the same In 2-lb. sec- 

 tions, sifK n 'c. Extracted, white clover, ti'aTc. ; 

 buckwheat, r>(96c. 



BEESWAA-Prime yellow. 25(^28C. 



McCAUL & HlLDKETH BKOS., 84 HadSOD St. 



CINCINNATI. 



HONEY.— No change has taken placein the gen- 

 eral feature <»f the market. Demand is shtw for 

 extracted honey with an abundiinceon the mar- 

 ket. Depression in other branches of busine'^B, 

 and low prices have their bearing upon honey. 

 Better prices will, in my et-t mation. nut be ob- 

 tained until a general revival of business takes 

 placH ; our most ardent desires to the conlraiy 

 notwithstanding. Custom has lo be made, even at 

 the short crifp of this season, -^njall loteonlyof 

 new comb honey make their appearance, and are 

 sold readily. Vet demand i^ slow in proportion. 

 Extracted honey brings 4(«8c on arrival, and 

 choice comb htmey li*'"- Ihc in a jobbiny way. 



BEKiSWAX— la in fair demand, itnd arrivals are 

 good. We pay 2(i.a24c forgood yellow. 



P. S. The tollowing explanatnm in regard to 

 markets seems to be m order to post some bee- 

 keepers and fave them irom disappointments. 

 When quoting prices "on arrival," 1 mean to say 

 that honey will bring about the price quoted, or 

 that a figure within the range given, will appear 

 reasonable or acceptnbie to a purchaser. 1 quote 

 as nearly as possible the price at which I am Duy- 

 ing and selling. I do not mean to say that pur- 

 chasers are waitint; f(.ir the arrival oth(meyMnd 

 are anxious to buy at those prices quoted, nor 

 that I am willing u> pay th^se pri» es on arrival lor 

 all the honey that may be shipped here. This 

 latter would require a larger capital than I and 

 two more of t le largest dealers in America pos- 

 sess. It IS unpleiisitnt for u** to be (tver-run with 

 honey for which i will not pay on arrival, unless 

 agreement has been umde previous to shipment.
