©"One of the Chicago glucose fac- 

 tories was burned to the ground on the 

 17th lilt. Forty persons were employed 

 in it. It was fully insured, and, we are 

 sorry to say, will he rebuilt at once. 



District Convention at Chicago.— The 



responses to the inquiry, "Shall we have a 

 District Convention at Chicago this fall ?" 

 are numerous and emphatic. With one ac- 

 cord they say : " Yes ; by all means issue 

 the call, and we will be there." In obedience 

 to this request, we now give notice that 

 there will be a District Convention, com- 

 posed of the Northwestern States, held at 

 •Chicago on Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept. 

 14 and 15, 1880,'commencing at 10 a. m. Full 

 particulars as to place of meeting, hotel ac- 

 commodations and programme of the meet- 

 ing, will be given in the Bee Journal for 

 September. As the Chicago Exposition will 

 then be open, excursion rates will be ob- 

 tainable on all the railroads. 



Kentucky State Convention. 



The bee-keepers of Kentucky will 

 meet at the Exposition Building, Lou- 

 isville, on Tuesday, Sept. 28, at 10 

 o'clock a. m., for the purpose of organ- 

 izing a State Bee-Keepers' Association. 

 After the organization is effected, it 

 will adjourn and go to Cincinnati, to be 

 at the opening of the National Conven- 

 tion the following day. I hope a full 

 delegation will be in attendance from 

 all the associations in the State. All 

 bee-keepers are cordially invited to at- 

 tend. Dr. 1ST. P. Allen, 

 Sec. Southern Ky. Association.

 SAN FRANCISCO. 



Since our last report of this market, a dry, parch- 

 ing norther has swept over the bee-ranges, and last- 

 ing several days, blasting the white sage and other 

 honey blossoms. The demand for extracted honey 

 for shipment to Hong Kong, Australia and Europe 

 has cleared the market, and it is much firmer.
