THE AMERICAN BEE-KEEPER 



19 



shoi't of a disgrace to the fraternity 

 whose interests it has undertaken 

 to defend. Many of the complaints 

 we receive, of injustice, low prices, 

 commercial and local obstacles of 

 various kinds, bewailing prevailing- 

 conditions, come with very poor 

 grace from persons who have not, 

 and appear to be unwilling to con- 

 tribute a dollar a year in order that 

 these things may be changed. 



LATER. Goshen, N. Y., Dec. 19.— 

 The case of Utter vs. Utter was conclud- 

 ed to-day. It resulted in a victory for 

 the bee-keeper, JeiTery W., from whom 

 his brother. \Vm Utter sought to recover 

 ^100 damages, claiming that his brother's 

 bees had partially mined his peach crop. 

 Bee-lieepersthrongiiout the country will 

 rejoice to learn of this triumph of justice. 

 Credit for the victory is undoubtedly 

 due the intiuence of Ihe National Bee- 

 keepers' Association, and the etflcient 

 work of its General Manager.

Below wo ({Ivo the latist and most authentic re- 

 port of tlie Houey and Beeswax market in different 

 trade centers: 



WASHIXGTOX GISADING ItUI.ES. 



Fa.vc'V. — AH sections to be well lilled, combs 

 atraight. of even thickness and firmly attached to 

 all four sides; both wood and comb unsoiled by 

 travel stain or otherwise; all the cells sealed ex- 

 cept the row of cells next the wood. 



Ho. 1. —All sections well filled, but combs uneven 

 or crooked, detached at the bottom, or witii but tew 

 cells -unsealed: both woo 1 and comb unsoiled by 

 travel-stain or otherwise. 



In addition to this the honey is to be classified 

 according to color, using the terms white, amber 

 and dark. That is. there will be "Fancy white ' 

 •'No. 1, dark," etc, 



Chicaco. Dec IT. — We have but very little de- 

 mand for honey at present, while the supply is 

 fair— apparently suflicient to supply the demand. 

 We quote as follows: Fancy comb, Uic; No. 1, 

 15c.; extracted, tlr./ T'^c. Beeswax is in good de- 

 mand at 2-ic. There is an abundant supply of all 

 grades of honey except fancy white comb, which is 

 limited to small amounts that are promptly sold. 

 R. A. Burnett & Co. 



Boston, Dec. 17. — Demand for honey is fair 

 with fair supply. Price of comb, 15<5< ITc; extract- 

 ed, i>'4<li7i4c. The demand for beeswax is light 

 with light supply. Prices, 27(529c. Comb honey 

 is naturally moving slower, owing to the higher 

 prices. Bi.akb, Scott & Lee. 



BlTPFALO, Dec. 12. — bur present demand for 

 honey is but moderate; mostly for the holiday 

 trade, while the supply is more liberal. Price of 

 fancy comb, l.ifollic; extracted — none wanted over 

 SfeTc. Fair demand for beeswax with moderate 

 supply, at 2,i(" 28c. Demand for honey has fallen 

 off greatly, owing, we think, to too high prices. 

 Battebson & Co. 



Kansas City, >1o., Dtc. 21. — Honey is in fair 

 demand at present with light .supply. We quote 

 as follows: Cumb in 24-section case, S'H.50(''$8.75; 

 r2-secti>n case, Sl.HO. Extracted, ('lO-iJOimd cans, 

 8 7r!'c ]>er lb. Demand for beeswax is light with 

 light supply— just about enough to fill orders. The 

 price of honey is so high that it is cutting the de- 

 mand to some extent. 



W. R. Ckomweli, PiionucE Co. 



New York, Dec. 17. — There is a good and steady 

 demand for all grades of comb-honey, but very 

 little coming into this market. If pro lucers liave 

 any on hand we advise marketing it at once. We 

 quote: Fancy white comb, laftilUc; No. 1 comb. 

 He; No. 2 comb, 12 fe 13c.; bnekwheat comb, 11 ® 

 12c Beeswax firm and in good demand at 2-(c. per

LITERARY NOTES. 



EX-PRESTI)EXT CLEVELAXO'S MAGAZINE 

 ARTICLES. 



Ex-president Cleveland is writing for the Satur- 

 day Evening Post a series of strong articles which 

 will appear in the magazine during the winter 

 months. Some of these papers will deal with 

 political affairs, and others with the personal 

 problems of young men. They will be Mr. Cleve- 

 land's first utterances in any magazine on the 

 questions of the day since he left the White 

 House. 



Mr. Cleveland's opening paper, which appeared 

 in the Saturday Evening Post of December 23, 

 discusses in a masterly manner a most important 

 phase of our national politics. 



Outing opens the century with a number on the 

 highest plane of the literature and art of sport, 

 travel, adventure and country life. Some of the 

 articles are entitled as follows: The Moonlight 

 Trails, The Automobile in French Recreative Life. 

 Rifles for Big Game, Portugese East Africa as a 

 Hunting Field, The Old and the New in Harness 

 Training, \\'inter Hunting in the Rockies, The 

 Pioneer Sportsmen of America, Gambel's Par- 

 tridge, the Elusive Game-bird of Arizona; Sports- 

 man's Club of the Middle West and Army and 

 Navy Football. All in all, Outing's January num- 

 ber is an exceptionally strong and pleasing one. 



With the January number Modern Culture drops 

 the old name, "Self Culture," from its title page 

 and cover and takes its rightful place among the 

 leading literary magazines of the country. It will 

 no longer be associated in the public mind with 

 purely educational periodicals. It has ceased to 

 be a class publication and has become in the 

 broadest sense of the term a magazine of culture. 

 Literature, art and science, history and description 

 are represented in this number by competent 

 writers. John H. Tranter writes an account of 

 the Pan-American Exposition, which, with its 

 elaborate illustrations, will be to many readers the 

 most attractive article in the number. Life in the 

 Philippines before the Spanish war, New Year's 

 Day in Paris and The Romance of Winter are 

 three delightful articles. Fiction is strongly repre- 

 sented by Marion Harland and Charles W. Ches- 

 nutt. The departments are as usual replete with 

 interest.
