 double the number of subscribers, and

Books at Fairs.— Those who make 

 an exhibit at Fairs will find that an 

 assortment of Books and Pamphlets 

 would sell and leave them a profit for 

 handling. We will send such, postage 

 prepaid, at 2.5 per cent, discount; or 

 if the purchaser pays express charges, 

 we will supply any of our own publica- 

 tions at 40 per cent, discount. 



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 7.5 cents, for 

 the Weekly ; or for the Monthly, 50 

 cents. They cannot be sent by mail 

 to Canada. 



^" The new two cent rate of pos- 

 tage for letters goes into effect on 

 October 1. Three cent postage stamps 

 will then be but little used. For all 

 fractions of a dollar sent to us here- 

 after we should prefer either one-cent, 

 or else five or ten-cent postage stamps, 

 or a Postal Note. Do not send coins 

 in any letter. 



Honey and Beeswax Market. 



Fairs.— To any one exhibiting at 

 Fairs, we will send samples of the 

 Bee Journal aud a colored Poster, 

 to aid in getting up a club. The 

 Premiums we offer will pay them for 

 so doing. For a club of 8 subscribers 

 to the Monthly Bee Journal, or 4 

 Weekly, we will present Dzierzon's 

 Rational Bee-Keeping, price $2.00.

The following are the latest quota- 

 tions for honey and beeswax received 

 up to this hour : 



CINCINNATI. 



HONEY— The demand for extracted honey is 

 exceedinuly dull; for comb honey, only fair; arri- 

 vals are plentiful. Stocfes are iarne in the hands 

 of corn merchants and others. Our own supply is 

 larger than ever, and. for the present, we cannot 

 compete witb commission merchants. We may 

 have to offer lower 11 tzures. Our prices so far were 7<* 

 yc. for extracted, and 14^16c. for comb honey on 

 arrival.

HONEY— Comb honey has been bought with 

 more freedom this week, and prices of last week 

 have been fully sustained. The cool weather lias 

 started up the usual fall trade, and activity is the 

 order of the hour. In selecting out the best con- 

 signments (with the exception of one round lot 

 taken by merchants from Dakota Territory), our 

 demand is chiefly local. Extracted honey has not 

 been sought for to any extent, yet there is an im- 



grovement over last w, ek in the amount sold, 

 omb honey, extra white 1 lb. sections, 18c. : comb 

 honey, exira white IMj to 2 lb. sections, 15®17c.
