 all those having honey to sell, as well as those wantinff to buy.

CITY MARKETS. 



Chicago.— There is not any demand to speak of for 

 oomb honey, hence the prices vary. There is a g-ood 

 demand for extracted, and at the present writing 

 there is not a package of white honey in the mar- 

 ket. It wouid bring 10 cts.; dark, 8 c. Br cs war, 30 

 @ 35. R. A. Burnett. 



Chicago, June 23, 1883. 



[There, friends, there is a chance for you. if you 

 have got any nice honey that you want to sell at 10 

 cents. Is it not a little singular that comb honey 

 should be uncalled for. while extracted is in good 

 demand? I can not help saying I think the idea a 

 sensible one, any way. Real nice extracted honey 

 is, to my mind, preferable to comb honey for actual 

 use, every time.] , 



Milwaukee. — The honey market here is very 

 quiet now indeed, and but light demand. What 

 sales occur are in a small way. Choice l-!b. sections. 

 17 to 18 cts. ; fair 2-lb. do., 16 cts. ; common and dark 

 do., 14 to 1.5 cts. ; extracted, in tin cans, 11 to 13 ct°. 

 The supply is small, and the season will be later 

 than usual for getting new crop. A. V. Bishop.

Cleveland.— HoJiey in 1-lb. sections is in moderate 

 request at 18 to 19 cts. for best white; 3-lbs. continue 

 very dull. Extracted, no sale at all in our market. 

 Beeswax, there is none offering, consequently no 

 price. A. C. Kendel. 



Cleveland, June 31, 1883. 



Cincinnati.— Extracted honey has commenced to 

 come in freely, and a large crop is reported from all 

 quarters. The demand is very good, and keeps pace 

 with the arrivals. No change in prices. I have re- 

 ceived several nice lots of comb honey, for which we 

 paid 15 @ 16 cents on arrival. Arrivals of beeswax 

 w^re good of late; 33 c. is our priee on arrival. 



Cincinnati, June 22, 1883. C. P. Muth. 



Detroit.— HoHcy.— The honey market is almost 

 lifeless; it is quoted at 15@18 cents, but there is 

 scarcely any demand. Beeswax is worth 30@3t cents. 



Detroit, June 25, 1883. A. B. Weed. 



Boston.— Comb honey, 20 cts ; extracted, 10 cents. 

 Trade is quiet. « Crocker & Blake.

No more full colonies or nuclei, or bees by the

AN IMPROVEMENT IN SAWS FOR SAW- 

 METALS, ETC. 



Who has not felt the want 

 of something to cut metals 

 .rapidly? An ordinary hack- 

 Isaw willdo very well when it 

 jhas a good sharp whole 

 I blade; but when the blade 

 jets broken and dull, how 

 vexatious it is! In the one 

 shown below, which can be 

 used for sawing wood, horn, 

 bone, ivory, or almost any 

 thing as well as its legiti- 

 mate use of sawing metals, 

 theblide is made so that it 

 can be put in, in a twinkling. 

 The blades are easily detach- 

 ed, being fastened in place 

 by two simple pins; and are 

 strained up for use by means 

 of the lever, and the tension 

 is thus easily maintained. 

 The blades are tempered so 

 hard that they can not be 

 tiled, and when d\illare to be 

 thrown awa.v and a new one 

 inserted, which is cheaper 

 than a hard saw can be filed. 

 And furthermore, nice new 

 sharp blades cost less than 5 

 cts. when bought by the 

 quantity. The plan of fas- 

 tening the blade is very in- 

 genious indeed, and it is all 

 done b.v simpl.y moving a 

 lever inside the handle. We 

 can furnish these saws, with 

 one dozen blades, for $1.00, 

 all packed in a neat little 

 box. If wanted by mail, add 

 30 cts. postage. Extra blades 

 are 5 cts. each; 4> cts. for 10, 

 or $t.00 a hundred.
