SPECIAL. NOTICE,— On January 1,1886, 

 the price of the Weekly Bee Journai, 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 year. 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 ! 



" Don't Stop "—that is what many write 

 to us about their papers, when their time is 

 nearly out. One subscriber says: "This 

 has been a year of disaster, and it is not con- 

 venient for me to send you the money now 

 to renew my subscription. It runs out with 

 this month ; bxit don't stop sending it. I will 

 get the money to you within three months." 

 Such letters are coming every day. and so 

 for the present we have concluded not to 

 stop any papers until requested to do so. 



The Western World Guide and Hand- 



Book of Useful Information, contains the 

 greatest amount of useful information ever 

 put together in such a cheap form. The 

 printing, paper, and binding are excellent, 

 and the book is well worth a dollar. To any 

 one sending us two new subscribers besides 

 their own, with $3, for one year, we will 

 present a copy of this valuable book. 



1^~ Sample Copies of the Bee Journal 

 will be sent free upon application. Any one 

 intending to get up a club can have sample 

 copies sent to the persons they desire to in- 

 terview by sending the names to this oflice, 

 or we will send them all to the agent. 



Asients can sell the Guide and Hand- 

 T5ook like " hot-cakes." Send us an order 

 for Ave copies (with $2.rM) and we will send 

 you the Weekly Bee Journal free for a 

 year. This Is a rare opportunity to get the 

 Weekly Bee Journal without cost I I 



Honey and Beeswax Market. 



Office of the American Bee Journal, i 

 Monday, 10 a. in.. Dec. 7, 1885. ( 



The following are the latest quota- 

 tions for honey and beeswax received 

 up to this hour : 



CHICAGO. 

 HONE v.— The market Is without apecial chanpe 

 since last quotatinn-i. Wiiite comb honey in one- 

 pound sections brings l.')(«jl(Sc. A little fancy sells 

 at 17c. in a small way. Dark comb honey sell slowly. 

 Nearly all of the white comb honey comes from 

 the East. Extracted is held Urmly at from 6(s8c. 

 BEBSWAX.-;;,'ic. 



K. A. BDRNKTT. 161 South Water 8t. 



BOSTON. 

 HONEY.— It is sellinE very well but prices are 

 very low, and we are often obliged to shade our 

 prices in order to make rates. We quote comb 

 honey in 1-lb. sections at 14(i!)16c., and 2-lb. sec- 

 tions at 12@l4c. Extracted. U(flj»c. 

 BEES WAX.-30 CIS. per lb. 



Blake & uipley, s7 Chatham street. 



NEW FORK. 



HONEY.— The market for comb honey is quite 

 active, and the demand nearly equal to the supply. 

 Prices are gradually shading, owing to the fact of 

 many producers selling their entire crop in this 

 city at very low prices, thereby enabling the pur- 

 chasers to sell low and realize a handsome profit. 

 Large lots have been sold here at9(«)H)c. for fancy 

 goods. In oon^equence of no honey coming in 

 from the West, we can see no reason why good 

 prices should not be obtained, except as above 

 slated. Present quotations are : Fancy white 1-lb. 

 aections. I4(atl5e.; the same in L'-lb. sections, 1 miqj 

 12^c.; fancy buckwUeat honey in l-lb. sections 

 IK^liic: In L'-lbs., 9i(yliic. Off grades 1 to Jc. less. 



BEESWAX— Prime yellow. 25(g>28c. 



McCaul & HiLDRETH BROS., 34 Hudson St. 



CINCINNATI. 



HONEY.— There is a very slow demand from 

 manufacturers, for extracted honey, with a large 

 supply on the market, while the demand is very 

 good for clover honey in square glass jars. Prices 

 for all qualities are low and range from 4(aHc a lb. 

 Supply and demand is fair for choice comb honey 

 in small sections, which brings V2<qil5c. per lb. 



BEKSWAX.— Good yellow is in good demand, 

 and arrivals are fair, at 20(§.22c. per Ih. 



C. F. MUTH. Freeman & Central Ave. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



HONEY.-Choice comb honey is in light supply 

 and is bringing hrm figures. There is a fair move- 

 ment in best qualities of extracted at steady rates. 

 We quote as follows : white to extra white comb, 

 uxa\2^c.; amber, 7@Sc. Extracted, white liquid, 

 5M(g5>sc.; light amber colored, 4i^'a4^4c.; amber 

 and candied. 4Xc.: dark and candied, 4(a.4i.ic. 



BBBSWAX.-Quotable at 2;i®25c., wholesale. 

 O. B. Smith & Co., 423 Front Street. 



CLEVELAND. 



HONEY.— The market since our last report has 

 Improved very much and there is a good tipening 

 tor very choice white l-lb. sections, for which 14(«J 

 l.'ic. is obtained Our stock of new is very light at 

 present but of the old we have a good supply 

 which we sell at 10$. I3c. for wb te l-lb. sections. 

 Extracted lioney is slow at 6@»7c. for best white 

 clover and basswotid. 



BEKSWAX.— Very scarce at 20O22C. 



A. C. Kendel. 1 15 Ontario Street. 



KANSAS CITY. 



HONEY. -The demand for honey begins to sag 

 under the present comparatively high prices, and 

 recent warm weather, though choice I-lb. sections 

 are still scarce and pretty well taken up at IH(gil7c. 

 We think, however, that the top is reitched and 

 any change will be lower prices. Two-lb. sections 

 are selling at l2H(ffli5c. Extracted, dark, 4^6 cts.; 

 white. 7@Hc.

To Correspondents. — It would save 

 us much trouble, if ail 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-Offloe, 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. 



^^ Our rates for two or more copies of 

 the book, " Bees and Honey," may be found 

 on the Book List on the spcond page of this 

 paper. Also wholesale rates on all books 

 where they are purchased " to sell again." 



System and Success. 



t^~ All who intend to Ije systematic in 

 their work in the apiary, should got a copy of 

 the Ajiiary Kegister and commence to use it. 

 The prices are as follows : 



For .')0 colonies (120 pages) $100 



" 10(1 colonies (220 pages) 12b- 



" 200 colonies (420 pages) 150 



The larger ones can be used for a few col- 

 onies, give room for an increase of numbers 

 and still keep the record all together in one- 

 book, and are therefore the most desirable. 



The Guide and IIand-Book,is a book 

 of ready reference and an encyclopiedia of 

 everything desirable to know. As a guide- 

 to the home-seeker, it is invaluable. Its con- 

 tents are partially given on page 784, and 

 will convince any one of its value. We do 

 not think any of our readers can afford to 

 do without it. As a book of ready reference 

 we find it of great value in our library. W& 

 will send the Weekly Bee Journal for a 

 year and the Guide for Sl.:iO. 



giclyevtiscmcnts. 



WE are now in the market, and will be- 

 durlng the entire season, for all honey 

 offered us, in any quantity, shape, or condi- 

 tion—just so it is pure. We will sell on com- 

 mission, charging .5 percent.; or, if a sam- 

 ple is sent us, we will make the best cash 

 otler the general market will afford. We- 

 will handle beeswa.x the same way. and can 

 furnish bee-men in quantities, criKle or re- 

 fined, at lowest market prices. Mr. Jerome 

 Twichell, our junior member in this depart- 

 ment, lias full charge, which insures prompt 

 and careful attention in all its details. 



Sample of comb honey must be a full case, 

 representing a fair average of the lot. On 

 such sample we will make prompt returns, 

 whether we buy or not.
