Most Valiinbic for Advertising^. 



— Unsolicited testimonials to the value of 

 any article are always the most appre- 

 ciated, and should carry with them a force 

 that is convincing. Such is the following, 

 which we received recently from Chas. 

 Dadant & Son — the world-renowned makers 

 of comb foundation : 



Friend York:— Although the number of 

 answers to advertisements is more limited 

 than ever this year, we find that the Ameri- 

 can Bee Journal is right up — none ahead — 

 in the number of new names furnished. As 

 the editor of the American Bee Journal is 

 not interested in the sale of implements, 

 that fact makes the American Bee Journal, 

 in our eyes, the most valuable advertising 

 medium to-day for us Westerners, at least. 

 Chas. Dadant & Son. 



Hamilton, Ills., Dec. 5, 1894. 



The above firm keep a standing advertise- 

 ment in all the leading bee-papers, and so 

 they are competent to speak on the subject. 

 As we have said before, co/tti/iuous adveriin- 

 ingpayx. Try it, if you wish to succeed. 



Sample Copies of the " American 

 Bee Journal " will be mailed free to all who 

 ask for them. The next three or four 

 months will be just the time for getting 

 new subscribers, and if any of our friends 

 can use sample copies among their bee- 

 keeping neighbors, in order to get them as 

 new subscribers, we will be glad to mail the 

 samples. If the names and addresses are 

 sent to us. Better educated bee-keepers 

 will mean better things for all. 



Iluiiey & Heeswax Market Quotations. 



CHICAGO. Icr... Dec 27.— Up to the present 

 the sales on honey have met with our expec- 

 tations. We have received considerably more 

 honey than we flgured on handling, owing to 

 the short crop rei'ort. and we think the early 

 shippers reaped the benefit. However, we are 

 now getting the averase price, viz.: Fancy, 

 loc; white. No. 1. 14@13c. E.\tracte(l, 6®7c. 



Beeswa,it, 28(a29c. J. A. L. 



CHICAGO, III. Jan. 3,— As usu.al. the vol- 

 ume of trade in honey is small at this season. 

 But our stock Is not lieavy, and soon as this 

 month is past we expect a demand that will 

 clean out all present and prospective offer- 

 ings. Comb sells at 14c. for good white; fan- 

 cy brings loc: darkgrades, 8@12c. Extracted 

 white, b@7c.; dark. 5@6c. 



Beeswax, 27®2So. R. A. B. & Co. 



NEW YORK, N. Y.. Dec. 20.— The market 

 for comb and extracted honey is good, and 

 the supply equals the demand. Fancy clover 

 and buckwheat sells best; off grades are not 

 quite as "alable; and 2-pound sections are little 

 called for. We quote as follows: 1-pound 

 fancy clover. 13@14e.; 2-pouud, 12i4@13c.; 1- 

 pound white. 12@l2i4o,; 2-pound, I2c.; l- 

 pound fair, 10@l]c.: 2-pound, 10@llc.; 1- 

 pound buckwheat, 10@llc.; 2-pound. 9@10c. 

 Extracted, clover and basswood. 6(^6!4c.; 

 buckwheat. 5@5i4c.; Southern. 50(5t60c. per 

 gallon. Beeswax, scarce and in good demand 

 at29@30c. C. l.&B. 



CINCINNATI. 0., Dec. 21.— No change since 

 our last. The market is quiet, with a fair de- 

 mand at 14@1 lie. for best white comb honey, 

 and 4@7c for extracted. 



Beeswax is in good demand at22@27cfor 

 good to choice yellow. C. F. M. &. S. 



KANSAS CITY. Mo., Dec. 26.— The supply 

 of comb honey is fair: demand is fair. Sup- 

 ply of extracted is good; demand light. We 

 quote: l-lbs.. No. 1 white, 14@15c. ; No. '?. 

 white. 12@13c. ; Nn. 1 amber, 13@14c.; No. 2 

 amber, 10@llc. Extracted, white. 6@7c;

Beeswax, 22@2oc. C. C. C. & Co. 



ALBANY, N. Y.. Dec. 26.- Honey in better 

 demand, especially the high grades of white 

 comb honey. We quote: No. 1 white, 14@ 

 loc; No. 2 white. l:i@14c. ; Mixed white. 11 

 @12c.: No. 1 buckwheat. 12@l2Hc.; No. 2

 Extracted, white (Northern), 7@8c.; amber, 

 ®6'/4c.: huok wheat, h%(StSc. Beeswax, 27® 

 29c. Do not look for much of any change in 

 these prices, and advise now to have honey 

 on the market as early as possible for best 

 prices. H. R. W. 



BUFFALO. N. Y., Dec. 17.— The demand for 

 honey is very quiet. We quote : Fancy. 13@ 

 14c.; choice, ll®12c; others from 8® 10c. 

 Literal amount of stock in market. Tlie pros- 

 pects are that the demand will be very light 

 liniil after the holidays. Extracted is moving 

 very slowly at o@7c. B. & Co. 



NEW YORK, N. T., Dec. 31.— The demand 

 for comb honey has been very light of late 

 and has now almosc dwindled down to 

 nothing. The supply has been accumulating 

 and there is •^ large stock on the market. In 

 order to move it in round lots, it will be nec- 

 essary to make liberal concessions from rul- 

 ing quotations. We quote: Fancy white, 1- 

 Ibs., 13c.; off grades, lie; buckwheat, 9c. 

 We have nothing new to report in extracted. 

 It is moving c>fl' slow and plenty of stock on 

 the market, with more arriving. Beeswax is 

 steady and finds ready sale on arrival at 30c. 

 per pound. H. B. & S.
