Honey and Beeswax Market. 



Office of The amekican Bee JuniN'AL, I 

 Monday. 10 a. m., June 30, 1^84. i 



The following are the latest quota- 

 tions for lionev and beeswax received 

 up to this hour : 



CINCINNATI. 



HONEY— The deraand for all honey is very slow; 

 market dull and varices range from 6(^fic for ex- 

 tracted Different I'ts of choice comb honey in 

 small sections have been offered and sold in our 

 market lately at 12(il4c per lb. As I predicted 

 some time h^o, the preference for the production 

 of comb honey seems to be prevalent: and. as we 

 have the best prospects for an abundant harvest 

 Ibis year, we may prepare tor low prices. 



BEESWAX— Is in good demand; choice yellow 

 brings 35c a lb. on arrival. CHAS. F. MtJTH. 



NEW YORK. 



HONE Y— Present sales of comb honey are slow, 

 andwill be until the new crop arrives. We quote : 



Fancy white J lb. sections, glassed. L'iCojUc; fair

 grades in 2-lb. sections, glassed, I0^l:2c. No 1-lbs.

Blake & kiplet, ^7 Chatham Street. 



CHICAGO. 



HONBY-The new crop of comb honey is coming 

 on the market, and nearly all of the arrivals to 

 note are in go(»d order, and the quality of the 

 honey is of the best, being white, and tiavorthat of 

 Clover and linden: frames are unusually well- 

 flUed. The crop of comb honey of 1h83 is nearly 

 all cleaned ui'. We have not had any old comb 

 honey to offer for several days. Extracted honey 

 is in very light demand, and prices irregular: the 

 stocks I 'f it are large. 



BKESWAX — Not plentiful, but the demand is 

 also light at :in(y,n7c for fair to prime.

HONEY— Some little activity has developed in 

 the honey market since ray last report, and several 

 thousand pounds have gone out in the past few 

 days, both comb and extracted. But it happens to 

 be only a liunching of orders, and has had no ma- 

 terial effect on prices, which rule at l4H(a 15Xc for 

 comb, and 7(^.'^4c for extracted.

 best white 1 lb. sections at ISc; 2 lbs, best wh te 

 not quite so active at 1 7c; 1 lb. sections sell quickly

Examine the Date following your 

 name on the wrapper label of this 

 paper; it indicates the end of the 

 month to which you have paid your 

 subscription on the Bee Journal. 



For safety, when sending money to 

 this office get either a post office or ex- 

 press money order, a bank draft on 

 New York or Chicago, or register the 

 letter. Postage stamps of any kind 

 may be sent for amounts less than one 

 dollar. Local checks are subject to a 

 discount of 2.5 cents at Chicago banks. 

 American Express money orders for 

 1-5, or less, can be obtained for 5 cents. 

 We wish to impress upon every one 

 the necessity of being very specific, 

 and carefully to state what they desire 

 for the money sent. Also, if they live 

 near one post office, and get their mail 

 at another, be sure to give us the ad- 

 dress we already have on our books. 



^' When writing to this office on 

 business, our correspondents should 

 not write anything for publication on 

 the same sheet of paper, unless it can 

 be torn apart without interfering with 

 either portion of the letter. The edi- 

 torial and business departments are 

 separate and distinct, and when the 

 business is mixed up with items for 

 publication it often causes confusion. 

 They may both be sent in one envelope 

 but on separate pieces of paper. 



1^ It must be understood that, 

 should an advertiser desire to cancel 

 an unexpired contract, he can do so 

 only by paying regular rates for the 

 number of insertions his advertise- 

 ment has had. 



^" All money orders from foreign 

 countries, should be made payable at 

 Cliicas^o, as the " Madison Street Sta- 

 tion "is not an International office. 



(^ III reply to many correspondents 

 let us say that we take any kind of 

 postage stamps at their face value- 

 including the 3 cent ones. Silver 

 should liever be sent by mail, as it en- 

 dangers the loss of the letter either 

 by thieves, or else breaks through the 

 envelope and is lost in that way. 



1^- We carefully mail the Bee 

 Journal to every subscriber, but 

 should any be lost in the mails we will 

 cheerfully send another, if notified 

 before all the edition is exhausted. 



^° AVe now club the British Bee 

 Journal and our Monthly for $2. .50, or 

 it and the Weekly for $3..50. 



To increase the number of readers 

 of the Bee Journal, we believe, will 

 aid progressive bee-culture and help 

 to elevate the pursuit. We,tlierefore", 

 offer the ' following premiums for 

 getting up clubs : 



While no subscription to the Bee 

 JouBNAL will be taken for less than 

 the regular advertised prices (viz. : 

 Weekly, S2.00; Monthly, fl.OO),— any 

 one getting up a club of two copies, 

 or more, may select from " Our Book 

 List " anything therein named, to 

 the amount of 15 cents for every dollar 

 they send direct to this office, to pay them 

 for the trouble of getting up the club ; 

 and these books will be sent, postpaid, 

 to any address desired. 



For a club of 3 Weekly or 6 Monthly 

 and $6.00, we will make an additional 

 present of a Pocket Dictionary, bound 

 in cloth, containing 320 pages. 



For a club of 5 Weekly or 10 

 Monthly, (or a mixed club of both,) 

 with $10, we will, in addition to the 

 15 per cent, present a copy of the 

 American "Popular" Dictionary, 

 comprising every word in the English 

 language that enters into speech or 

 writing; it contains 32,000 words and 

 phrases,670 illustrations and 512 pages; 

 it is nicely bound in cloth, and will be 

 sent by mail, postpaid, to any address 

 desired. 



Subscriptions for two or more years 

 for one person, will count the same 

 as each year for a different person. 



Subscription Credits.— We do not 



acknowledge receipt of each subscrip- 

 tion by letter. The label on your 

 paper, or on the wrapper shows the 

 date to which your subscription is 

 paid. When you send us money, if 

 the proper credit is not given you, 

 within tv.o weeks thereafter on your 

 label notify us by postal card. Do 

 not wait for months or years, and 

 then claim a mistake. The subscrip- 

 tion is paid to the end of the month 

 indicated on the wrapper-label. This 

 gives a continwd statement of account. 



Emerson Binders— made especially 

 for the Bee Journal, are lettered in 

 gold on the back, and make a very 

 convenient way of preserving the Bee 

 Journal as fast as received. They 

 will be sent, post-paid, for 75 cents, for 

 the Weekly ; or for the Monthly, 50 

 cents. They cannot be sent by mail 

 to Canada. 



Apiary Register— New Edition. 



All who intend to be systematic in 

 their work in the apiary, should get a 

 copy and commence to use it. The | 

 prices will hereafter be as follows : 



For 50 colonies (120 pages) $1 on 



" 100 colonies (220 pages 1 25 



" 200 colonies (420 pages) 1-50 



The larger ones can be used for a 

 few colonies, give room for an increase 

 of numbers, and still keep the record 

 all together in one book, and are there- 

 fore the most desirable ones. 



^° We have received the Circular 

 and Price List of Bagnall Bros. & Co. 

 for 1884-85, in Turua, New Zealand. 

 It contains 24 pages and is nicely 

 printed with a cover, and illustrated 

 with lots of American engravings of 

 bee-keepers' supplies. The Bee Jour- 

 nal congratulates New Zealand upon 

 such a creditable enterprise. 



Ribbon Badges, for bee-keepers, on 

 which are printed a large bee in gold, 

 we send for 10 cts. each, or $8 per 100.
