THE AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. 



Results of the Season.— J. A. Pearce, 

 Grand R;ipids,*o Mich., on Sept. 21, 

 1885, writes : 



I increased my bees from 3 colonies 

 toll, by letting them swarm once and 

 hiving the swarms on the old stands, 

 and in a few days I separated the old 

 colony into 3, dividing the queen-cells 

 as near equally as possible. I was not 

 quite quick enough with the last, as 

 they had torn down all the queen-cells 

 but one, or I would have had 12 colo- 

 nies. I had no after-swarms, no 

 watching, no loss of queens, and the 

 colonies are all strong, and the hives 

 are full of honey. I had combs with 

 some honey to give the most of them, 

 as 1 lust 8 colonies last winter that 

 were on the summer stands in double- 

 walled hives. My bees did not swarm 

 this year until about July 1. I ob- 

 tained 200 pounds of honey in 1- 

 pound sections.

Room for many more. 



OflBce of the American Bee Journal* t 



Monday. 10 a. m., Sept. 28, 1885. f 



The following are the latest quota- 

 tions for honey and beeswax received 

 up to this hour : 



CHICAGO. 



HONET,— The market Is steady at 15 cts. per lb. 

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

 and sales are keeping pace with each other. Some 

 well tilled ^-Ib. sections, this week, brought 16 cts. 

 Extracted honey brings 5(a8c., with a steady feel- 

 ing prevailing. 



BEKSWAX.— i23@24c. on arrival. 



H. A. BURNETT, itsi South Water Bt. 



BOSTON. 



HONEr.— We have received quite a large stock 

 of honey, mostly trom Vermont, an<i the quality 1b 

 very fine. We are doing the best we can to keep 

 the price up where bee-keepers can get something 

 for their honey. One of the largest producers of 

 honey sold his entire crop at a very low price, and 

 honey is being sold here so that it will leave bee- 

 keepers nothing. We still hold ourpricesat letS-IS 

 cts. for 1-lb sections, and I4^iec. for Li-lbs. Ex- 

 tracted is6f«8c. per lb. 



BEESWAX.— an cl8. per lb. 



Blake & riplet, 57 Chatham Street. 



NEW YORK. 



HONEY.— There is not much change In the 

 market. The new crop is coming in quite freely, 

 and is selling readily at the following prices: 

 Fancy white clover, in i-lb. sections, 14(alf) cents ; 

 the same in 2-lb. sections, ]2c<pl3c ; fair to good, 

 in 1 and 2 lb. sections. lii(f?llc.; fancy buckwheat, 

 in l-Ib. sections. ii@i2c.; the same in 2- lb. sec- 

 tions. 9i«)l0c. Extracted, white clover, S'aTc; 

 buckwheat, .'»(fl/Pc. 



BEESWAX-Prime yellow. 25@28c. 



MCCAUL & HILDRETH BROS.. 34 HudBOn St. 



CINCINNATI, 



HONEY.— No change has talfen place in the gen- 

 eral feature of the market. Demand is slow for 

 extracted honey with abundance on the market. 

 Extracted honey brings 4(.ft8c on arrival, and 

 choice comb honev l.switfc in a jobbing way. 



BEESWAX— Is in fair demand, and arrivals are 

 good. We pay 201*240 for good yellow. 



P. S. The following explanation in regard to 

 markets seems tn be m order to post some bee- 

 keepers and save them Irom disappointments. 

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

 that honey will bring about the price quoted, or 

 that a figure within the range given, will appear 

 reasonable or acceptable to a purchaser. 1 quote 

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

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

 chasers are waitinL.' 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 

 honey for which I will not pay on arrival, unless 

 agreement has been made previous to shipment. 

 C. F. MUTH. Freeman & Central Ave. 



BAN FRANCISCO. 



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

 bilitv of so continuing through the balance of the 

 season. There is some inquiry for best qualities, 

 with a firm market for the same. Quotations are 

 as follows: Wi.ite to extra white comb, iiiuiic.; 

 dark to good, 5'aHc. Extracted, white liquid, 5@5H 

 cts.; liuht amber colored, 4^(s5c.; amberand can- 

 died. 4Kc.

CLEVELAND. 



HONEY.-The new crop is beginning to arrive 

 and issellinil at 14«1.5 cts. per lb. for choice i-Ib. 

 sections. Old honey ts very dull— none selling al- 

 though freely offered at in(«ji2 cts. Extracted, as 

 usunl if not in demand in our market.

A. C. KBNDKL. 1 15 Ontario Street. 



KANSAS CITY. 



HONEY.— We now report a very firm market 

 with some advance in prices, though the trade 

 take hold very slowly as vet, and complain terri- 

 bly when the advance is quoted to them. We are 

 now holding for I6(ai7c. for fancy white honey in 

 i-lb. sections, I5f«i«c. tor 2 lbs., and I2fai3c. for 

 Calif. Fancy 1-lb. sections, if marketed soon, will 

 bring a good price. Extracted is a little Hrmer at 

 about the same prices, viz: Miss., La. and Texas, 

 4@fic., and white clover and calif.. 7t<iMc. 



BEESWAX.— Unchanged, 2i_»®25c.. according to
