SPECIAli NOTICE On January 1,188G, 



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 year. That time 

 has now come. Wo shall continue to im- 

 prove the liEE Journal, and it will main- 

 tain its proud position as the leadinj; bee- 

 paper of the World ! 



" Don't 8toi> "—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 forme to send you the money now 

 to renew my subscription. It runs out with 

 this month ; but 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.

 opportunity to sell several thousand pounds 

 more of Choice White Comb Honey in 1-lb.

The following are the latest quota- 

 tions for honey and beeswax received 

 up to this hour : 



CHICAGO. 

 HONE v. —The market is without speciat change 

 since last quotations. White comb honey in one- 

 pound sections brings irKoiloc. A little fancy sella

 HONEY.~It is selling 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 i4{gjlGc., and 2-lb. sec- 

 tions at l:l(^l4c. Extracted, G(S«c. 

 BEESWAX.— 30 CIS. per lb.

NEW YORK. 



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 at l>@lnc. for fancy 

 goods. In consequence of no honey coming in 

 from the West, we can see no reason why good 

 prices should not be obtained, except as above 

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

 sections, 14<giir>c.: the same in 12-Ib. sections. ll^(ai 

 12Hc.; fancy buckwheat honey in 1-lb. sections 

 lI(«Jl2c.; in i2-lbs., liwioc. Ofl" grades 1 to 2c. less.

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 tor clover honey in square glass jars. Prices 

 tor all qualities are low and range from 4'!t.Sc a lb. 

 Supply and deiuand is fair for choice comb honey 

 in small sections, which brings 12f«15c. per lb.

 and arrivals are fair, at 2U&22C. per lb.

HONEY.— Choice comb honey is in light supply 

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

 ment in best qualities of extracted at steady rates.

HONEY. —The demand for honey begins to sag 

 under the present comparatively high prices, and 

 recent warm weather, though choice l-lb. sections 

 are still scarce and pretty well taken up at l(i(^17c.

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

 are sellirig at 12H@l5c. Extracted, dark, 4^6 cts.; 

 white. 7(aHc.
