Honey reports continued from page 2. 



Chicago. — Sales of honey during the month of 

 October have been above the average, both in comb 

 and extracted. The market is well supplied, but 

 not overstocked for this season of the year (the 

 major part of the comb being sold during October 

 and November). Prices on Ko. 1 to fancy comb 

 honey range from 17 to 18 ; off grades from 1 to 

 3 cts. per lb. less ; amber grades, 12 to 15 ; white 

 extracted, 8 to 10; amber, 7 to 8. Beeswax brings 

 30 to 32. 



Chicago, Oct. 18. B. A. Burnett & Co. 



Cincinnati. — The demannd for both extracted 

 and comb honey is good. We are selling strictly fan- 

 cy and number one comb honey at $3.75 to $3.85 a 

 case. Lower grades are not wanted at any price. 

 White-clover extracted honey we are selling at 8% 

 to 10, and amber honey at 6V2 to 8%, according 

 to the quantity and quality purchased. The above 

 are selUng prices. We are paying 28 cts. cash or 

 30 in trade for choice bright yellow beeswax de- 

 livered here. We render beeswax from old comb 

 and cappings. Write us.

New York. — We have a fairly good demand for 

 white comb honey, at prices ruling about the same 

 - — that is, fancy white, 15, with some exceptionally 

 fine lots which will bring 16; No. 1 white, 14; 

 No. 2 white and light amber, around 13 ; mixed 

 and buckwheat at from 10 to 12, according to 

 quality. Buckwheat honey seems to be rather 

 scarce. The crop evidently did not turn out as 

 large as expected. Extracted is in fair demand 

 for all grades, white clover selling at 8 % to 9 ; 

 light amber at 8, and amber at from 7 to 7V^. 

 West Indian is arriving quite freely, and sells at 

 from 75 to 85 cts. per gallon, according to quality. 

 Beeswax is nuiet at 30.

Liverpool. — Since our last report there has been 

 very little trade doing, but the honey market is 

 steady. Some 52 barrels of Peruvian (for manu- 

 facturing purposes) have been sold at $5.88, and 

 50 to 60 cases of Californian at $10.20 to $11.40 — 

 a slight improvement. Jamaican, good quality, is 

 selling in retail at $7.44 to $8.16, and there is 

 a fair stock to be disposed of. Quotations are as 

 follows: Haitien, $6.24 to $7.52 per cwt. ; Peru- 

 vian, $5.76 per cwt.; Chilian, $5.76 to $8.16 per 

 cwt.; Jamaican, $6.00 to $8.40 per cwt.; Califor- 

 nian, $9.60 to $11.04 per cwt. Chilian beeswax 

 offers at $37.48 to $41.12, but trade is slow. Sierra 

 Leone is steady at $33.54 and Gambia at $34.48. 

 Quotations are as follows: Chilian, $33.88 to 

 $39.92; African, $32.64 to $34.00; West Indies, 

 $31.44 to $36.28.

St. Louis.— The demand for choice comb honey 

 keeps up very well, and the supply is small, es- 

 pecially of the better grades. There is consider- 

 able dark comb honey from the southern States on 

 the market, which sells slowly and at low figures. 

 We quote fancy white at 16 to 17 ; No. 2 white 

 at 15; amber, 13 to 15; dark, 9 to 11. Broken 

 and inferior quality is not wanted, and sells very 

 low. The demand for extracted honey is good, 

 and quotable as follows : Light-amber southern in 

 barrels and half-barrels at 7 ; dark, 6 to 6''/2 ', 

 choice light amber in five-gallon cans at TVz. There 

 is very little white-clover honey on the market, 

 which would sell at 9 to 91/^; California white at 

 9 ; light amber, 8 V2 ) amber, 8 in five-gallon cans. 

 Beeswax is in good demand at 29% for prime. 

 Inferior and impure sells for less. 



St. Louis, Oct. 17. R. Hartmann Produce Co. 



STRAW beehives. 

 We have frequently had calls for old-fashioned 

 straw hives which we have not always been able 

 to supply. We have imported from England a few 

 which we can offer at $1.50 each, shipped from 

 New York or from here. Shipment has arrived 

 in New York, but the part to come here has not 

 come in as we go to press, but should arrive soon. 

 These hives are cone-shaped, about 16 inches high 

 and the same diameter.

THE YOUTH'S COMPANION FOR 1913. 



The Youth's Companion appeals to every inter- 

 est of family life, from housekeeping to athletics. 

 It begins with stories of youthful vim and vigor, 

 with articles which disclose the secrets of success- 

 ful play in the great games, with charming tales of 

 life at the girls' colleges. But the Companion does 

 not surrender these readers when they have entered 

 the more serious paths of life. Mothers will wel- 

 come the page for little children and the weekly 

 doctor's article. Fathers will find the important 

 news of the day as it is, and not as it is rumored 

 to be. The entire household will appreciate the 

 sketches which touch gently on common foibles or 

 caricature eccentricity. In short, for less than four 

 cents a week The Companion brings into the home 

 clean entertainment, pure inspiration, fine ideals, 

 increase of knowledge. 



Names rarely seen in tables of contents will be 

 found in The Companion's Announcement for 1913, 

 which will be sent upon request — with samples of 

 the paper, to those not familiar with it. 



Every new subscriber for 1913 will receive free 



all the issues for the remaining weeks of 1912; 



also, free. The Companion Window Transparency 



and Calendar for 1913, in rich, translucent colors — 



the most beautiful of all Companion souvenirs.

THE CHARITY THAT "SUFFERETH LONG AND 

 IS KIND." 



Just as we go to pi-ess, Oct. 26. — In Our 

 Homes for this issue, page 708, you may 

 notice that I have been pleading for a more 

 Christianlike spirit, even in politics. Well, 

 after that was in print, and after the splen- 

 did address, "One Standard of Morals," 

 was also in print, a friend sent me a clip- 

 ping from the Baltimore Sun of Oct. 21. 

 The address, we are told, was in a well- 

 attended meeting in Lehmann's Hall. In 

 this address it seems he (Chafin) was par- 

 ticularly bitter toward the Maryland Super- 

 intendent of tlie Anti-saloon League. He 

 says : 



"I will give $1000 to that bluffer, William H. 

 Anderson, or any other man he may name, who 

 will answer my printed lecture, 'One Standard of 

 Morals.' The entire Anti-saloon League from top 

 to bottom is a humbug. Anderson is no better 

 than the league, and that is a fake." 



And further on, after the meeting was 

 over, he is reported as having spoken as 

 follows : 



"There are only four or five States in this coun- 

 try that still cling to the delusion that the Anti- 

 saloon League will do away with the liquor traffic, 

 and I am sorry to say that Maryland is one of 

 them. But if 'Dry Bill' will accept my challenge, 

 it will not be long before I nail his hide to the 

 fence as I did with the Anti-saloon League superin- 

 tendents in Wisconsin and California." 



The Stin gives the above in quotation 

 marks, indicating that it was taken down 

 by a stenographer. I also have another 

 clipping from the Sun the day after, giv- 

 ing Anderson's reply. It is courteous and 

 gentlemanly, and given in as much of a
