Admirable Advice to Advertisers 

 from "Agricultural Adver- 

 tising." 



Nothing- except the mint can make 

 money without advertising. — Glad- 

 stone. 



I would as soon think of doing busi- 

 ness without clerks as without adver- 

 tising. — John Wanamaker. 



The old mediums, provided they have 

 kept up with the times, are usually 

 good things to stick to.— Advisor. 



When you pay more for the rent of 

 your business house than for adver- 

 tising vour business, you are pursuing 

 a false' policy. If you can do business, 

 let it be known. — Franklin. 



" Let people know where you are and 

 what YOU have. Use more printer's 

 ink and there will be a demand for 

 your stock such as was never known 

 before." — Hon. John W. Springer, 

 president National Live-Stock Associa- 

 tion. 



Senator Chauncey Depew, in a re- 

 cent interview, said that the country is 

 at present suffering not from business 

 stagnation or overproduction, but 

 rather from an " indigestion of pros- 

 perity." He might have added that 

 the pepsin of advertising is the best 

 remedy for such indigestion.

MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Chicago, Juue I'l.— Not any new comb honey 

 on the market with the exception of a little 

 sweet clover, which, owing to the scarcity of 

 comb honey, has sold at 15 cents. Extracted is 

 slow of sale with 7 cents about highest price 

 that can be obtained for white: 6'/^fe"c for best 

 ambers, and 5!^"»6c for dark grades Beeswax, 

 J'fniJ'Sc. R. A. Burnett cS: Co. 



Kansas City, June20.—Wequote: No. 1 white 

 comb, 14(a'l?c; No. 1 amber, 13(o'14c: Xo. 2 white 

 and amber, lMa\3'Ac. Extracted, white, TACaHc; 

 amber, 7c. No beeswax in the market. 



We have a shipment of new comb honey in 

 transit from Florida. The supply of old comb 

 honev is verv light, mostly candied. 



C. C. Clemons & Co. 



Detroit, May 24. — Fancy white comb, 15f<il6c; 

 No. 1, white, 14(«,15c; amber and dark, liXal2c. 

 Extracted, white, 7c; amber and dark, 5'ij6c. 

 Beeswax, 25te2tjc. 



Supply and demand for honey both limited. 

 M. fl. Hunt & Son. 



New York, May 21.— Our market is practi- 

 cally bare of comb honey, and there is a good 

 demand for white at from 13(a'15c per pound, ac- 

 cording to iiuality and style of package. The 

 market on extracted is rather quiet, and inact- 

 ive. New crop is slow in coming in, and prices 

 have not vet been establisht. Beeswax holds 

 firm at 27(a2Sc. Hildketh & Segelken. 



San Francisco, June 6.— White comb, IIKO 

 12Hc; amber, JiM'luc. Extracted, white, li'4(a7c. 

 light amber, (.(flo^c; amber, S(<t5%c; Beeswax, 

 26ia27c. 



There is not much honey on market, either 

 old or new. Small quantities of new comb and 

 extracted are going to local trade at compara- 

 tively stiff values. In some instances, espe- 

 cially for comb, an advance on best figures 

 warranted as a quotation are being realized. To 

 secure export orders, however, of anything like 

 wholesale proportions, prices above noted would 

 have to be materially shaded.
