 ers' Association will be held in the 

 City Hall at Syracuse. X. Y.. on the 

 21,"ii and ii of .lannary. issr,. The 

 executive conmiittec are determined 

 to maintain the high standing and 

 enviable reputation which the Asso- 

 ciation has justly gained in the past, 

 and at the coming convention they 

 propose to outdo all former efforts.

 and most interesting ever held in 

 America. Xo bee-keeper can afford 

 to stay at home. All are invited. All 

 implements of the apiary sent to the 

 Secretary, will be properly arrayed to

 meetings will be conducted in the 

 rooms of the State Board of Agricul- 

 ture, on ihe corner of Tennessee and 

 Market Streets, in Indianapolis, Ind. 

 It is proposed to make tliis the most 

 important and interesting meeting of 

 bee-keepers ever held in the State. 

 An extensive programme, including 

 all questions of im|)ortance to bee- 

 keepers, is being prepared and will be 

 soon sent out to bee-keepers through- 

 out the State. Prominent apiarists 

 from neighboring States have been 

 invited to assist and presumably 

 many of them will be in attendance 

 during the meeting. These gather- 

 ings are of vast importance, especially 

 to beginners, and all those at all inter- 

 ested in this important industry 

 should make it a point to attend this 

 meeting.

 to elevate the pursuit. We, therefore, 

 offer the following 



ca.sh prejiiujis for clubs.

As there is much interest mani- 

 fested by Americans on the above

 shire's experiments and investiga-

 1 have examined it, and lind it most 

 superbly gotten up. i'ou have em- 

 bodied in it all the gist of the Parlia- 

 mentary Manuals of Jefferson, Cush- 

 iug and ]Mell. Aside from the infor- 

 mation it contains, no bee-keeper 

 can afford to do without it for a mem- 

 orandum book."

 biassed sections sell best. Our market Isqulet and

 sales. We have a hirtje stock and cannot advise 

 any more shipments this season.

BLAKE & Ripley, 57 Chatham Street. 



CHICAGO. 



HONEY.— The sales of comb honey are very 

 llstit at present, and prices little better ihsn nom- 

 inal. The stock of that produced in the Kliddle 

 States is not larjie, compared with the past two 

 seasons. But then we did not have the Pacific 

 slope pourinu it in by the car-load, as they are 

 doinK at present, and which can be bouKht by the 

 case at 12 to 14c. per pound— in combs of 2-lbs. 

 well tilled and pure white in appearance. A larsre 

 percentage of the trade buy it in preference to our 

 Mississippi Valley at the same price. 1 quote 1-lb.

K. A. BDK.NKTT. 161 South Water St. 



CINCINNATI. 



HONEY.— There is an unsatisfactory demand 

 for extracted honey from manufacturers, while 

 there is a fair inquiry for smrtll packages of clover 

 honey such as dime, J^- lb., l-lb., and 2-lb. jars, from 

 the retail trade. Prices are low as arrivals exceed 

 the demand. Extracted honey brings 5'«lic. on 

 arrival: choice white comb honey is in fair de- 

 mand and sells best in l-lb. sections. It brings !.'» 

 (a liic. in the jobbing way. We have several small 

 lots of dark combhoney from parties in Illinois, 

 and offered It as low as lo and u cents per lb, 

 without finding a buyer. Dealers most certainly 

 mislead producers by quoting buckwheat and pop- 

 lar comb honey, if they are not more successful 

 than we are In disposing of the same. 



BEES WAX. -The demand is slow and arrivals 

 are few. Good yellow brings 2ii((^27c. on arrival.

HONEY.— There Is a moderate local trade and 

 large orders are being filled for shipment. Stocks 

 are on the decrease and the market has a firmer 

 tone. We caution apiarists against using old or 

 second- hand cases or tins, as such can never be 

 hiindled to advantage and cause extra expense 

 and trouble. Tins in cases should always have a 

 strong partition between them.
