 Monday, 10 a. m., Oct. 20, 1884 S 



The following are the latest quota- 

 tions for honey and beeswax received 

 up to this hour : 



CINCINNATI. 



HONEY.— Nothing stirring in the marliet for the 

 last few weeks. The approach of cooler weather 

 is expected to impart more life to the trade. Comb 

 honey sells at Ific. in the jobbine war. and brings 

 14(*15c on arriTal for choice. Offerings e-\ceed the 

 demand. Extracted honey has commenced to 

 accumulate, but demand is fair for small packages 

 for table-use. as well as for darker grades in bar- 

 rels. It brings R(*9c. on arriTal. 



BEESWAX Is dull at I6'a28c on arriTal. 



C. F. MCTH, Freeman & Central Atc. 



NEW YORK.

 ceiTing consignments of this year's crop of honey,

 HONEY.— Comb honey has been taken with 

 freedom by the trade this week, but 15(«il()C. is the 

 best price obtainable for a fancy article of comb 

 honey in frames. Some lots bring from 14 to 15C. 

 when in good order. Stock of comb boney is not 

 large at present. Extracted, 7(S8c. for new.

 effected in extracted, within range of the same low 

 figures which have been lately current. Offerings

 nothing doing bevond a small jobbing trade.—

 with honey, large quantities haTing been brought 

 in wa^'ons, and every place is filled up. Some lots 

 have sold as low as ;'c- for 1-lb. sectiims of white 

 comb. We have ntit changed prices, but find sales 

 Tery slow at lOc. for best white l-lbs., and 14c. for 

 2-lbs. Dark honey we are offering as low as m to

The Bee Journal for 1885. 



Premiums, $'25.00 in Cash. 



To increase the number of readers 

 of the Bee Journal, we believe, will 

 aid progressive bee-culture and help 

 to elevate the pursuit. We, therefore, 

 offer the following 



CASH pre.miums for clubs. 



$10.00 for the largest club received 

 at this oftice before Feb. 1, 1885 (either 

 of the Weekly, Monthly, or botli) ; one 

 Weekly counts same as 4 Monthlies. 



$.5.00 for the second largest ; $4.00 

 for the third ; $3.00 for the fourth ; 

 $2.00 for the fifth ; and $1.00 for the 

 sixth largest club.

 uow withdrawn.

 nal for 1885 is $2.00 for one copy ; 

 $3.80 for two copies (to the same or 

 different post-ottlces) ; $5.50 for three 

 copies ; $7.20 for four copies ; and for 

 five or more copies, $1.75 each. 



We have decided to publish the 

 Monthly Bee Journal for next year 

 of the same size and shape as the 

 Weekly, (which contains about the 

 same amount of reading matter as 

 the present Monthly,) at .50 cents a 

 year; two copies (to the same or dif- 

 ferent post-oftices) for 90 cents ; three 

 copies for $1.30 ; four copies for $1.70 ;

 been extended on all portions of next

 rate of $1.00. 



Subscriptions for two or more years 

 for one person, will count the same

 1885 will have all the numbers for 1884 

 free that are published after the sub- 

 scriptions are received at this office. 



Trial Subscribers.— The Weekly 

 Bee Journal will be sent to any «€to 

 subscriber in North America from now 

 until the end of 1884 for 25 cents. 

 This offer is intended to aid those who 

 are getting up clubs at Fairs, Conven- 

 tions, etc., and should add several 

 thousand to our readers during the 

 next month. 



j^ The " Autumn Leaves " which 

 will bring the most returns are, no 

 doubt, the Leuttets— " Why Eat 

 Honey V" Scatter them and see the 

 effect in selling honey in every neigh- 

 borhood, at .good prices. Two hun-
