SPECIAL NOTICE.— On January 1,1886, 

 the price of the Weekly Bee Journal will 

 be reduced to One Dollar a Year. 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 year. That time 

 has now come. We shall continue to im- 

 prove the Bke Journal, and it will main- 

 tain its proud position as the leading- bee- 

 paper of the World ! 



New subscribers 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 are already made. 



To Correspondents. — It would save 

 us much trouble, if all would be particular 

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

 writing to this office. We have several letters 

 (some inclosing money) that have no name; 

 many others having no Post^Office, County 

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

 office and get your mail at another, be sure 

 to give 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 together 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 $l.'^rj)and the Weekly 

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

 is a rare opportunity to get two standard 

 papers for less than the price of one. 



Honey and Beeswax Market. 



To give away 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. 



Office of the American Beb Journal, i 

 Monday. 10 a. m., Sept. 21, 1885. f 



The following are the latest quota- 

 tions for honey and beeswax received 

 up to this hour : 



CHICAGO. 



HONEY.— The market la steady at 15 eta. per lb. 

 for white comb honey in 1-lb. sections. Receipts 

 and sales are keepint; pace with each other. Some 

 welt dlled ^2-Ib. aeeti'm?, this week, brought Hi cts. 

 Extracted honey brintis O&sc, with a steady feel- 

 intj prevailinu. 



BEESWAX.— ■J3@i;4c. on arrival. 



R. A. Burnett. 161 South Water St. 



BOSTON. 



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

 speak of. We have had some new Vermont white 

 clover honey in l-lh. sections, which is very fine. 

 There is a larye crop in that State. Prices remain 

 as follows : For 1-lb. seclions, i()@iHc. ; for 2-IbB., 

 14^1 fie. There is little or no sale for extracted. 



BEE8WAX.-30 CIS. per lb. 



Blaek &, KiFL£T. 57 Chatham Street. 



NEW YORK. 



HONEY.— There is not much change in the 

 market. The new cmp is coming in quite freely, 

 and 18 selling readily at the following prices: 

 Fancy white clover, in i-lb. sections, I4fa]5 cents ; 

 the same in 2-lb. sections, ii:(sii3c.; fair to good, 

 in 1 and 2 lb. sections. ii_t@lic.; fancy buckwheat, 

 in l-Ib. sections. iK^jiiic; the same in 2-lb. sec- 

 tions, 9@jl0c. Extracted, white clover, Q'&lc.; 

 buckwheat, 6@Gc. 



BBESWAX-Prime yellow. 25@'28c. 



McCaul & UiLnKETH BROS., 34 Hudson St. 



CINCINNATI. 



HONEY.— No cbanjje has taken place in the gen- 

 eral feature of the market. Demand is slow for 

 extracted honey with an abundance on the mar- 

 ket. Depression in other branches of business, 

 and low prices have their bearing upon honey. 

 Better prices will, in my estimation, not be ob- 

 tained until a general revival of business takes 

 place ; our most ardent desires to the contrary 

 notwithstanding. Custom has to be made, even at 

 the short crop of this season. Small lots only of 

 new comb honey make their appearance, and are 

 sold readily. Yet demand is slow in proportion. 

 Extracted honey brings 4^8c on arrival, and 

 choice comb honey ir>(ai6c in a jobbing way. 



BEESWAX— Is in fair demand, and arrivals are 

 good. We pay l'<k*24c for good yellow. 



P. S. The following explanation in regard to 

 markets seems to be m order to post some bee- 

 keepers and save them from disappointments. 

 When quoting prices "on arrival." I mean to say 

 that honey will bring about the price quoted, or 

 that a ligure within the range given, will appear 

 reasonable or acceptable to a purciiaser. I quote 

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

 ing and selling. I do iiot mean to say that pur- 

 chasers are waitini: for the arrival of honey and 

 are anxious to buy at those prices quoted, nor 

 that I am willing to pay those prices on arrival for 

 all the honey that may be shipped here. This 

 latter would require a larger capital than I and 

 two more of the largest dealers in America pos- 

 sess. It is unpleasant for us to be over-run with 

 h(iney for wliich 1 will not pay on arrival, unless 

 agreement has been made previous to shipment. 

 C. F. MUTH. Freeman & Central Ave. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



HONEY.— Arrivals are quite light, with a proba- 

 bility of 80 continuing through the balance of the
