Bingham Corner, 



Marengo, III., June 18, 1884. 

 Tlie Doctor Subdues All — Mr. T. F. 



Bingham, Dear Sir:— I've used the "Doctor" 

 till its all daubed up with bee-glue, and al- 

 though at first sight I thought I did not like 

 anything so large, I could not now be induced 

 except bv the direst poverty, to do with any 

 thing smaller. As a matter of " economy " 

 I much prefer the " Doctor " to any of the 

 cheaper smokers, of which I have worn out 

 several. The "Doctor" has entirely cured 

 me, so that I am now a Bingham man, as my 

 wife always has been. If the somewhat 

 vague remark in your letter means that 

 nothing was charged for the Smoker sent, 

 except the reading of your letter, 1 shall be 

 very glad of another "Doctor" forthe money 

 sent, so that my wife won't take mine from 

 me. Bees just booming on white clover. 

 Yours Truly, C. C. Miller. 



WooDARD's Landing, Wash. Ter. 



The Best Smoker. — To Bingham & 

 Hetherington, Abronia, Mich., Dear Sirs ; 

 —Find enclosed money for 3 Conqueror 

 Smokers, which please send per mail— one to 

 each. Dr. Balch. J. M. Louderback, and H. 

 A. Towner. The Conqueror is the best 

 Smoker I ever used. Respectfully, 



May 17, 1884. H.Hastings.

 Conquer the " Cyps."— T. F. Bingham, 

 Abronia, Mich., Dear Sir; —Enclosed And 

 $1.75, for which please send, per mail, one 

 "Conqueror Smoker" to Major H. A. High, 

 Waxahachie, Tex. He bought a Cyprian 

 Queen from me, and the Bees have worsted 

 the old gentleman. I told him that the Con- 

 queror Smoker would conquer the "Cyps," 

 as I had tried one for two years, and " it 

 never failed." Respectfully, 



B. F. Carroll. 



Borodino, N. Y., Aug. 1.'), 1882. 

 Cyprians Conquered— All summer long 

 it has been " which and tother " with me and 

 the Cyprian colony of bees I have— but at 

 last I am "boss." Bingham's Conqueror 

 Smoker did it. If you want lots of smoke 

 just at the right time, get a Conqueror Smo 

 ker of Bingham. Respectfully, 



G. M. Doolittle.

Honey and Beeswax Market. 



Office of The American Bee Journal, I 

 Monday, 10 a. m., July '.iS, 1884. S 



The following are the latest quota- 

 tions for honey and beeswax received 

 up to this hour : 



CINCINNATI. 



HONEY.— The demand for extracted is fair, 

 and to all appearances, gradually improving. It 

 brings 6(^9c per pound on arrival. There is a 

 small demand for comb honey, but we had small 

 offers ODiy, and a good deal could be sold. It 

 brings 14c per pound on arrival. 



BEESWAX— Offerings plentiful at 30@:12C on 

 arrival. C. F. MUTH, Freeman & Central Ave. 



NEW YORK. 



HONEY— Sales of comb honey continue slow. 

 As yet there are no arrivals of this season's crop. 

 We have received several small shipments of new 

 extracted honey, which sold readily. For prices 

 on this year's crop, we quote : Fancy white, 1-lb., 

 16(31 IKc; fancy white. 2-lb., I5®16ci fair to good, 1 

 and'2-lb., I2fel4c: fancy buckwheat. 1-lb.. I2(3(13c: 

 2 lb., lu* 12c. E.xtracted. white clover, in kegs or 

 small barrels, BH^Ltc: dark grades. 7(ai7Hc. 



BEESWAX— Prime yellow. :iom32c. 



McCaul & HiLliKETH. 34 Hudson St. 



BOSTON. 



HONEY -The sale of honey is almost over, and 



we are ^ibliged to sell 2-lb. combs for I,5c, and2H- 



Ibs. to 2^-Ibs. from VXgjl-2c. No 1-lbs. in the 



market. Extracted, 8@loc. 



BBBSWAX-35C. 



Blake & riplet, .57 Chatham Street. 



CHICAGO. 



HONEY— This week we have had liberal receipts 

 of comb honey, and the prices are irregular. As a 

 rule, the honey is of tlrst quality, and put up in 

 good shape; a gradual improvement is noted in this 

 respect. Prices range from 14t«lfic for the best; 

 occasionally a case sells for more than that, but it 

 is in a retail way. The extracted honey is still 

 sluggish, at nominal price8-»i<3;rtc per pound. 



BEESWAX— Fair receipts: prices, 3n(fl)37c. 



B. A. BURNETT. 161 South Water St. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



HONEY— Offerings do not receive any note- 

 worthy attention; there are no urgent orders in 

 the market, and little or no disposition to pur- 

 chase on speculative account. Honey producers 

 make a mistake to ship their honey for sale to 

 parties not in that particular line of business. 

 Outsiders having lots of honey to sell, run about 

 to find a buyer, and notfknowing the market, or 

 the value of honey, offer a little under the market, 

 and when these outside lots get out of the way, 

 our market will have pome tone. White to extra 

 white comb 14<3<l7c. Dark to good 10@1.3c. Ex- 

 tracted, choice to extra white 5®H!^c. Dark and 

 candied 4c. 



BEESWAX-Wholesale, 27Ji@30e. 



Stsarnb & Smith, 423 Front Street. 



KANSAS CITY. 



HONEY— There is beginningto be some demand 

 for new honey now at somewhat better prices. 

 Choice 2 and 1-lb. sections bringing 17(ailsc; 

 choice old honevlcless. I am having more in* 

 quirv for M-lb. sections than I anticipated, and 1 

 could use a few hundred pounds at pretty good 

 flgnres. Who has any ? Extracted, dull and un- 

 changed, 7(a>^c. 



BEBSWAX-30@3.'.c. 



JEROME TwiCHELL. 514 Walnut street. 



ST. LODIS. 

 HONEY — Steady; demand and supply both 

 small. Comb, I2@l4c per lb., and strained and ex- 

 tracted 6(5i6V^c. 

 BEESWAX- Firm at 32@32)^c. for choice. 



W. T. AUPERSON 4 Co.. 104 N. 3d Street. 



CLEVELAND. 

 HONEY— There are st>me arrivals of new honey 

 which is very nice, unusually so. Our market 

 does not seem to be quite ready for it, the demand 

 not having begun, and no sales made worth men- 

 tioning. It is our aim to get 18c for best 1-pound 

 sections, and 16c for 2-pound8. Extracted, as 

 usual, is dull. 

 BEESWAX-30C. 



A. C. Kekdel. ILi Ontario Street. 

 SAN FRANCISCO. 

 HONEY— We quote comb honey in 2 lb. sections 

 17@18c; extracted, 7^c.
