Honey and Beeswax Market. 



BUYERS' QUOTATIONS. 



CHICAGO. 



HONEY— The market is plentifully supplied with 

 honey, and sales are slow at weak, easy prices. Quo- 

 table at lR@20c. for Btrictly choice white comb In 1 

 and 2 lb. boxes ; at i -i<-- i fie for fair to good in large 

 packages, and at 10® 12c. for common dark-colored 

 and broken lots. Extracted, 8® 10c. 



BEESWAX.— Choice yellow, 20t*23c: dark, 15@17. 



NEW YORK. 



HONEY. -Best white comb honey, small neat 

 packages, 14(& 16c; fair do., 14@16c. ; dark do., 11(912 ; 

 large boxes sell for about 2c. under above. White 

 extracted, 9@10c; dark, 1@8o.: southern strained, 

 KJSflBc. 



BEESWAX.-Prime quality, 20@23c. 



CINCINNATI. 



HONEY.— The market for extracted clover honey 

 iegood, at B@10c. Comb honey is of slow sale at 16c. 

 for the beat. 



BEESWAX-18®22c- C. F. MUTH. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



HONEY.— The "Vigilant'' takes 6on cases to Liver- 

 pool. There Is a slightly improved feeling conse- 

 quent upon a little more inquiry, but prices show no 

 material appreciation. Discouraging reports are re- 

 ceived from the southern part of the State, as to the 

 prospects of the coming crop, but other sections give 

 promise of an abundant yield. With a good supply 

 yet on the market, prices are not apt to be buoyant 

 until the anticipated failure is more fully settled. 

 We quote white comb, 12(qj13c ; dark to good, 9@ lie. 

 Extracted, choice to extra white, sMi&ti^c. ; dark and 

 eandied, 5C<i5Hc. 



BEESWAX— 22@22^e., as to color. 



Steahns & Smith. 423 Front Street.

SPECIAL NOTICES. 



®° Constitutions and By-Laws for 

 local Associations $2 per 100. The name 

 of the Association printed in the blanks 

 for .50 cents extra. 



tW " What is the meaning of ' Dec. 

 81 ' after my name on the direction- 

 label of my paper ?" This question 

 has been asked by several, and to save 

 answering each one, let us here say : It 

 means that you have paid for the full 

 year, or until "Dec. 31, 1881." "June 

 81 " means that the first half of the 

 year is paid for, up to " July 1st. - ' Any 

 other month, the same. 



Ladies who Appreciate Elegance 

 and purity are using Parker's Hair Balsam. 

 It is the best article sold for restoring gray 

 hair to its original color and beauty.

Premiums.— For a club of 2, weekly 

 we will give a copy of "Bee-Culture;" 

 for a club of 5, weekly, we will give a 

 copy of " Cook's Manual," bound in 

 cloth ; for a club of 6, we give a copy of 

 the Jouhnal for a year free. Do not 

 forget that it will pay to devote a few 

 hours to the Bee Joubnax. 



r®° Sample copies of the Weekly 

 Bee Journal will be sent free to any 

 names that may be sent in. Any one 

 intending to get up a club can have 

 sample copies sent to the persons they 

 desire to interview, by sending the 

 names to this office. 



. • ♦ . . 



19" Any one desiring to get a copy of 

 the Constitution and By-Laws of the 

 National Society, can do so by sending 

 a stamp to this office to pay postage. If 

 they desire to become members, a fee 

 of $1.00 should accompany it, and the 

 name will be duly recorded. This no- 

 tice is given at the request of the Exec- 

 utive Committee. 



lg^" It would save us much trouble, if 

 all 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- 

 office, County or State. Also, if you 

 live near one postoffice and get your 

 mail at another, be sure to give the ad- 

 dress we have on our list. 



ig° We will send sample copies to any 

 who feel disposed to make up clubs for 

 1881. There are persons keeping bees 

 in every neighborhood who would be 

 benefitted by reading the Journal. 

 and by using a little of the personal in- 

 fluence possessed by almost every one, 

 a club can be gotten up in every neigh- 

 borhood in America. Farmers have 

 had large crops, high prices, and a good 

 demand for all the products of the 

 farm, therefore can well afford to add 

 the Bee Journal to their list of 

 papers for 1881. 



Hundreds op Men, Women and Chil- 

 dren rescued from beds of pain, sickness 

 and almost death ami made strong and 

 hearty by Parker's Ginger Tonic are the 

 best evidences in the world of its sterling 

 worth. You can rind these in every com- 

 munity. — Post. See advertisement. 9w4t 



fgTAt the Chicago meeting of the Na- 

 tional Society we were requested, to get 

 photographs of the leading apiarists, to 

 sell to those who' wanted them. We can 

 now supply the following at 25 cents 

 each: Dzierzon, the Baron of Bei- 

 Iepsch, and Langstroth. The likeness 

 of Mr. Langstroth we have copied, is one 

 furnished by his daughter, who says, 

 " it is the only one ever taken when he 

 was in good health and spirits." We 

 are glad to be able to secure one of such 

 a satisfactory nature. 



gg" We have filled orders for quite a 

 number of Binders for the Weekly Bee 

 Journal. We put the price low, 30 

 per cent, less than any one else could 

 afford to sell them, for we get them by 

 the quantity at wholesale and sell them 

 at just enough to cover the cost and 

 postage, the latter being 21 to 23 cents, 

 on each. We do this to induce as many 

 as possible to get them, and preserve 

 their Weekly numbers. They are ex- 

 ceedingly convenient; the Journal 

 being always bound and handy for 

 reference. The directions for binding 

 are sent with each one.
