Honey Markets. 



NEW YORK.— We quote as follows: 

 IHoNEY.— The demand for strictly white 

 honey in neat single comb caps, 12 caps in a 

 crate, continues good, very little being in the 

 market, and 20 to 23c. being freely paid for it. 

 White honey in other styles ranges from 17 to 

 20c. Dark or Buckwheat honey, in single 

 comb caps, 13 caps in crate, 13 to He. ; same 

 honey in larger caps, 10 to 12c. The supply of 

 dark comb honey— golden-rod, buckwheat, 

 and darker grades— is full, and prices rule low. 

 Basswood extracted is in particularly good de- 

 mand here, bringing from 13 to 14c. sharp 

 cash, candied having the preference. 



Beeswax.— Little is doing; shippers taking 

 small lots at 37@2Sc. for Southern or Western. 

 Exports for week ending Nov. 21 . . none 



from Jan. 1 106,753 fts. 



" same time last year 66,787 "

Old Uncle Dan.— Is the title of an ex- 

 cellent new Song, by Horace Dumars. 

 Thousands of Songs have been published in 

 America, within the last few years, but few 

 ever contain merit enough to become very 

 popular. The above song, is a gem, in fact, 

 one of the sweetest negro melodies ever put 

 before the music loving public. Sung 

 nightly with immense success, by Milt. G. 

 Barlow, of minstrel fame. Price, 40 cents 

 per copy. The title page is illustrated, and 

 contains a fine view of a Southern planta- 

 tion scene— can be obtained from any large 

 music dealer, or from the publisher, F. W. 

 Helmick, No. 50 West Fourth St., Cincin- 

 nati, 0. 



Counterfeit Money.— Avoid all risks, 

 and subscribe for the only reliable and of- 

 ficial Counterfeit Detector issued, and then 

 loss from receiving counterfeit money need 

 never be incurred. All handling bank 

 notes have only to keep at hand for consul- 

 tation Peterson's Counterfeit Detec- 

 tor, a semi-monthly publication containing 

 descriptions of all counterfeit notes as soon 

 as they appear, also a complete list of 

 broken, closed, failed, and fradulent banks. 

 Every number of the Detector contains 

 likewise lists of all the National and State 

 banks in the country, financial news and 

 items, price current, reviews of the money 

 and stock markets, &c., and is, in short, a 

 very valuable publication, which no busi- 

 ness man should be without. Subscription 

 for the Monthly issue is $1..50ayear. Sub- 

 scriptions may commence with any month. 

 Address T. B. Peterson & Brothers, Pliila- 

 <ielphia, Pa., for specimen copy. 



" On Novice."— The readers of The 

 American Bee Journal will doubtless 

 recall an article from my pen with the 

 above heading, written some four years 

 ago. We had hoped that it would never 

 again become necessary for us to write 

 another personal article; but our hopes 

 were futile. We have recently ascertained 

 that the bee-keepers of the country have 

 obtained the impression from Olemiings in 

 Bee-Culture that we have done Novice a 

 gross injustice in taking money from him 

 to partly indeminify us for damages sus- 

 tained in using his goods. Now at this late 

 day in the month we cannot write a lengthy 

 article in time for the Dec. number; but 

 will do so next mouth. In the meantime 

 we hope our friends will suspend judgment, 

 as we nave never intentionally injured any- 

 one, and will show most conclusively, that 

 we and ?iot Novice, are the injured part.v, 

 and have just cause of complaint, if any is 

 to be made. Herbeut A. Burch. 



South Haven, Mich., Nov. 24, 1877. 



Good Use for a Dime.— We advise all 

 our readers to forward their address and 10 

 cents to Orange Judd Co., 245 Broadway, 

 New York, who make a special offer to 

 send for this sum the number for October 

 1st, of the American Agriculturist. This 

 splendid number, besides over 50 engrav- 

 ings, contains a great amount of useful, 

 practical, reliable, seasonable information, 

 not only for the farm and Garden, but for 

 Household, Children included. Most will 

 get from it hints and suggestions worth ten 



or twenty times its cost Better still, 



to send $1.G0 and receive the paper, post- 

 paid, from now to the end of 1878— that is, 

 all of volume 37, with the rest of 1877 free.

 est book stores in the United States is that of

 S. Stephens, Miss Dupuy, Mrs. Warfleld, Mrs. 

 Dorsey, Caroline Lee Hentz, Charles Dickens, 

 Charles Lever, Wilkie Collins, Alex. Duma.<s, 

 and many other popular writers, and they 

 would call the attention of all Book Buyers to 

 the fact, that they are now publishing a num- 

 ber of cloth and paper-covered Books in at- 

 tractive style, including a series of 25 cent, 

 50 and 75 cent Novels in new style covers.
