1^" Our ^Market is weaker and stock very 

 large. Outsiders, who do not make a business 

 of handling honey, do not know where to sell 

 and place it, and are selling at a sacrifice. We 

 quote: Strained Southern Coast, at 7@10c; 

 Comb, 12@20c; the latter figure forSanDeigo, 

 in Harbison frames.

 will still continue her otl'er of a tested Ital- 

 ian queen to be sent to anyone who procures 

 four subscribers, and sends the names with 

 $8. This is a rare chance to procure a 

 good queen at absolutely no cost, except 

 the expenditure of time ; and those acting 

 as agents will find it easy to secure names 

 for the consolidated Jocrnal during the 

 approaching season of fairs and exposi- 

 tions. The queen will be sent promptly on 

 receipt of names and money. 



Any one ordering a Queen at the time of 

 renewing or subscribing for the Journal, 

 will receive it and the American Bee Jour-
