 sellulold, on one side ot the handle is placed an American Bee JonaxiL reminder, and on tii£ 

 other side, name aud residence of the Subscriber. 



The material entering- into this celebrated knife Is of the very best quality; the blacjet 

 are handforgcd out of the very finest English razor-steel, and we warrant every blade. Tht 

 oolsters are made of (Jerman silver, and will never rust or corrode. The rivets are hardenso 

 Oerman silver wire; the linings are plate brass; the back springs of Shellicld spring steel, ant' 

 the finish of handle as described above. It will last a lifetime, with proper usage. 



Why purchase the Novelty Knire? In case a good knife Is lost, the chances are, 

 the owner will never recover it; but it the Novelty is lost, having name and address of ownes 

 the finder will return it; otherwise to try to destroy the name and address, would destroy tb« 

 snit'e. If traveling, and you meet with a serious accident, and are so fortunate ae to have odb

 relatives will at once bo apprised of the accident.

C. O. Clemons & Co. 



Milwaukee, Oct. 18.— Fancy 1 pounds, 12H 

 to 13o ; A No. 1, 12 to \2y,c; No. 1, 11 to 12o; 

 No. 2, 10 to 10V4; mlxt. amber and dark, 8 to 

 9c. Extracted, white, in barrels, kegs and 

 palls, t)^ to 7c; dark, 5 to 5V^c. Beeswax, 26 

 to 27c. 



This m.arket is In good condition for the best 

 grades of honey, either comb or extracted. 

 The receipts ot the new crop are very fair, 

 and some of very nice quality. The demand 

 has been and continues to be very good, and 

 values are firm on fancj' grades and straight, 

 uniform packing. A. V. Bishop & Co. 



New Tork, Dec 20 —The market is well 

 supplied, especially with dark. Demand is 

 but fair tor white and dark and off grades are 

 being neglected. We quote; 



Fancy white, 12 to 13c; No, 1 white. 10 to 

 lie; amber. 9 to 10c; lark, 7 to 8e. Stocks of 

 extracted of ail kinds are light. White, 61^ to 

 7c; amber, 6c; dark, 59£ to 6c; Southern, In 

 barrels. 60 to 65c a gallon. Beeswax dull at 

 26 to 27c. Hiloreth Bros. & Seqelken. 



Bnffalo, Dec, 16.— Our market has become 

 somewhat quiet since the holiday trade set In, 

 and we consider 12 and 13c an extreme quo- 

 tation for best one-pound combs now; with 

 other grades ranging from 7 to 10 cents, ac- 

 cording to inspection. Very little demand for 

 extracted at from 4 to 6c. We advise the 

 marketing of honey as readily as it can be 

 .iudiciously sold. Batterson & Co. 



San Francisco, Nov. 22.— White comb. 9>» 

 to lOVic; amber, 7!4 to 9c. Extracted, white, 

 7 to 7*ic. ; light amber, 6^ to 6Hc. Beeswax, 

 24@27c 



Stocks in this center are light and must so 

 continue through the balance of the season. 

 Choice extracted is especially in limited sup- 

 plj' and is being held at comparatively fancy 

 figures. Comb is meeting' with very I air trade, 

 considering that it has to depend mainly on 

 local custom for an outlet Values for all de- 

 sorlptlous teud in favor of selling interest. 



Boston, Nov. 28.— Liberal receipts with 

 but a light demand during the holidays. As 

 a result stocks have accumulated somewhat, 

 and prices show a lowering tendency, still we 

 hope for a better demand with prices at pres- 

 ent as follows: 



Fancy white. 14c: A No.l white, 12V4 to 13c; 

 No. 1. 11 to 12c; light amber, 10c, with no call 

 for dark. Extracted, lair demand, light sup- 

 ply: White. 7 to 7!<c; light amber, 6^ to 7c; 

 Southern, ."> to 6e. Bi.ake. Scott & Lee. 



Cleveland, Nov. 29,— Fancy white, 1,3® 1 4c; 

 No. 1 white, 12(ai3G; A No. 1 amber, 10@llc; 

 No. 2 amber. 9@10c; buckwheat, 8c. Extrac- 

 ted, white, 7c: amber, 6c; buckwheat, 5c,
