Zanesville. — Despite the proximity of the holi- 

 days, when a lull is usually to be expected, the de- 

 mand for honey continues fairly good. Ruling prices 

 to the retail grocery trade are as follows: Fancy 

 white, 20; No. 1 white, 181/^ to 19; light amber, 17. 

 Extracted in five-gallon cans, 9% to 11, according 

 to quantity. This applies to best grades, as there is 

 little demand for off grades here. Producers are 

 paid 30 cts. cash, 32 trade, for beeswax of good 

 average quality. Wax wholesales at 40 cts. up, ac- 

 cording to quantity. 



Zanesville, Ohio, Dec. 3. E. W. Peirce. 



Albany. — The honey market is easing off, as the 

 demand is falling off. Stock and receipts are light, 

 but demand is light; and as cold weather advances 

 it will not increase any. The weather for two months 

 has been very favorable. We quote fancy white 

 clover, 16; medium, 15; buckwheat and mixed, 13 to 

 14. Extracted is verj' dull, and stock is accumulat- 

 ing. Prices favoring the buyer will be lower before 

 we can move the accumulations. We quote nominal, 

 but do not refuse offers. Buckwheat e.xtracted, 7 to 

 7% : mixed clover, 7 to 7^2 ; white clover, 8 to 8%. 

 Beeswax, 31 to 32. 



Albany, N. Y., Dec. 4. H. R. WRIGHT. 



St. Louis. — The demand for comb honey has im- 

 proved somewhat, but is not nearly what it should 

 be. The market is well supplied, especially the fancy 

 white western stock. There is also quite an abun- 

 dance of Southern comb honey in this market. We 

 are quoting to-day in a jobbing way, fancy comb 

 honey at 15 to 16; No. 1, 14; light amber, 11 to 12; 

 dark amber, 9 to 10; bv the case, fancy white comb 

 honey, $3.00 to $3.25; No. 1, $2.50 to $2.75; light 

 amber, $2.25 to $2.40; dark amber, $1.75 to $2.00 

 per case; light-amber extracted, in barrels and half- 

 barrels, 6% and 5-gal. cans, 7%. Beeswax is in 

 good demand at 32 for prime. Inferior and impure 

 sells for less. R. Hartmann Produce Co.

ASSETS OVER ONE MILLION DOLLARS

At least two per cent of the gross revenues of 

 some railways is spent in satisfying claims for dam- 

 ages. On the Boston & Maine, for example, damage 

 to property and personal injuries entailed an expen- 

 diture of over $800,000 in 1911. On another rail- 

 way, at the end of one year's business, claims 

 amounting to nineteen millions were pending. The 

 " claim agent " must combine in himself many varied 

 qualities, and J. O. Fagan (the expert so widely 

 Known as "the Railway Signal Man") makes us 

 intimate with him in interesting experiences on the 

 " human side." The article is one of hundreds an- 

 nounced by The Youth's Companion for 1914.
