 magnificent book of 460 pages, In neat and 

 substantial cloth binding, we propose to give

A description of the book here is quite un- 

 necessary—It Is simply the most complete sci- 

 entific and practical bee-book published to- 

 day. Fully illustrated, and all written in the 

 most fascinating style. The author is also 

 too well-known to the whole bee-world to re- 



?uire any introduction. No bee-keeper is 

 uUy equipped, or his library complete, with- 

 out" The Beb-Keeper'8 Guide." 



GiTen For 2 New Subscribers.

 scribers only, and no premium is also given 

 to the two new subscribers— simply the Bee

 Journal (with 12.00), and we will mall TO0 a 

 copy of Prof. Cook's book free as a premi- 

 um. Prof. Cook's book alone sent for 11.35, 

 or we club it with the Bee Journal for a year 

 —both together for only $1.75. But surely 

 anybody can get only 2 new subscribers to 

 the Bee Journal for a year, and thus get the 

 boo as a premium. Let everybody try for it

Only a few arrivals of fancy white comb;

The market for honey is In very good condi- 

 tion; while there is yet a little of the old crop 

 on hand, it is In very good order, and some de- 

 mand, which will clear off everything before 

 the new crop will arrive, very plentifully. 

 There is already some receipts of new. but 

 mostly extracted, and some very good qual- 

 ity, yet we lear the danger is In extracting 

 too early, belore the honey is fairly ripened. 

 We anticipate a good demand a little later, 

 and think values will remain about the same 

 as present quotations. A. V. Bishop & Co. ; 



Bnffalo, Sept. 16.— There Is quite an Im- 

 proved demand for honey at present, and 

 moderate amounts can be sold of strictly 

 fancy 1 pound comb at 11 to 12c; lowergrades 

 range from 10c downward. We advise hut 

 moderate shipments for awhile yet. Ex- 

 tracted—average grades could be sold at 4 to 

 5c. Fancy beeswax, 27 to 28c; common, 20 

 to 25c. Batterson & Co.

 to 10c; amber, 7 to 8!4c. Extracted, white, 

 6@6!4c. ; light amber, 5V4 to 6o. Beeswax, 

 24@26c 



Stocks are of very moderate volume, both 

 of comb and extracted, and market remains 

 Arm at ruling rates, especially for water white 

 or light amber of desirable flavor. There Is a 

 fair local demand and some business on for- 

 eign account. The bark J. C. Glade, clearing 

 Monday for Europe, took 808 cases, valued at 

 $8,250. 



Cleveland, Sept. I.— Fancy white. 13@i4c; 

 No. 1. white. 12(al2^c: light amber, lie; 

 buckwheat, 9c. Extracted, white, 7c. ; light 

 amber, 6c. 



The demand for honey is exceptionally 

 good, owing to the crop In this vicinity being 

 very light. A. B. Williams & Co,
