The otTerlntrs of comb honey are fully equal 

 to the demand this WfCk. The tride takes 

 very sparingly of It during thetly time. Thfrc 

 continues to be a light call lor extracted, 

 while for beeswax a steady demand contiDues. 



Mllwankee, Wis., An?. 14.— Fancy white,

 to 10c. ; No. 1, 7 to So ; fancy dark. 7 to Sc. 

 Extracted, white. ."> to 6c.: amber. 4 to4Hc. 

 Beeswax. 25 to 27c. 



The remnants of old crop honey remalnini? 

 are not very lar^re. and mostly of common and 

 medium quality, and such Is very bard to sell 

 at any price. There has been some new ex- 

 tracted received. l)ut not of the itEST quality 

 — think it was extracted too soon, as it la thin 

 and watery, and not very salable. The de- 

 mand is as grood as usual at this svasou. Think 

 we are safe In holding out encouratrement to 

 shippers that for the new crop of choice qual- 

 ities of comb and extracted honey this mar- 

 ket will give I hem as good results as any 

 other. 



Cincinnati, Ohio, Angf. 9.— Fancy white.

 to 1 Oc. Extracted, white. 5 to tic. : amber. 4 

 to .^c. : dark, :;i4 to 4c. Beeswax. 20 to 2.1c. 



Demand is fair so far for best (lualitlcs of 

 comb honey. We have hardly ever j-et, at 

 this time of the i-ear. disposed of as much 

 honey as we did this season. -Arrivals tiave 

 been liberal so lur. 



Albany, TSt. Y., .Inly 31.— Fancy white, 1 1@ 

 12c.; fancy amber, 7@8c.: fancy dark. 6@8c.; 

 white, extracted. 5c : dark. 4c. 



But very little Is doing In honey this month. 

 There is a small stock ot inferior comb honey 

 on the market, and quite a liitle extracted. 

 Bees are Siid to be doing nicely in this sec- 

 tion. 



Minneapolis, Minn,, Aug. 9, — Fancy 

 white. 11 to lac; No. 1. 10 to lie: fancy 

 amber. 9 to 10c. : No. I. 8 to 9o ; fancy dark. 

 8 to 9c.; No. 1 dark. to 7c. Extracted, 

 white. 5 to tic. Beeswax, 211 to 25c. 



Stocks comparatively bare. Fair demand. 

 Goods here now would meet with sood sales. 



Detroit, Mi' h,, Augr- 10— Fancy white, 11 

 to 12c.; No. 1 white. 10-1 Ic. Extracted, white. 

 ."> to 5 Vic. Beeswax. 35 to 26c. 



No dark honey of this year's crop yet offered. 



New York, N. Y., Aug. 9.— Fancy white, 

 12c.; No. 1. lie; fancy amber. 10c. Ex- 

 tracted, white. 5 to 5!ic.: amber, 4!4 to 43iic. 

 Beeswax. 26 to 27c. 



There is some dt'mand for new crop comb, 

 and some lots we received sold at from 10 to 

 I2c. a pound. Prices for new crop are not 

 settled, as our market actually does not open 

 up before about Sept. 1. Extracted: Market 

 quiet and easy, with large supp y from the 

 South and California. We quote: California 

 light amber. 4>4 to 43lic.; white. 5 to 5^40. 

 Southern. 50 to 5oc. a gallon, according to 

 quality. Beeswax without change. 



Kansas City, Mo., Ang. 10.— Fancy white. 

 13c.: No. 1. 11 to 12c.; lancy amber, 10 10 

 lie: No. 1. 9 to 10c ; fancy dark, 8 to Oe: 

 No. 1,7 to 8c, Extracted, white. 5 to 5V4c.: 

 amber. 4 to4i4e; dark, 3>4 to 4c. Beeswax. 

 25c. 



There is very little demand for honey this 

 hot weather, but will improve with cooler 

 weather. 



Indianapolis, Ind., Ang, 7.— Fancy white. 

 10 to 12!4e; No 1. 9 to 10c. Extracted, white. 

 5 to 6c.: amber, 4 to 5c. Beeswax, 25 to 27c. 



1 have received several lots of comb honey 

 which was billed to me as "lancy white," but 

 on opening a case I found that it was fancv 

 white next to the glass only, the rest being 

 old soiled sections with crooked combs and 

 dark honey. 1 don't know that the power of 

 the press will ever reach this class of pro- 

 ducers, but such goods have to be recrated 

 and reweighed. and are not satisfactory after 

 all. 



Boston, Mass., Aug, 9. — Fancy white. 

 13c.: No. 1. I2c. Extracted, white. «> to 7c.; 

 amber. 5 to 6c. Beeswax, 27c. 



New comb now arriving in small lots, but 

 fully equal to the demand. Beeswax is 

 wanted, and practically none here. 



St. £oais. Mo., Aug, 9,— Fancy white, 12 

 to 12^0 : No. 1, 11 to ilWc. ; fancy amber. 10 

 to 1014c.: No. 1. It to 0>4c. fancy dark, .s to 

 8',4e; No. 1,5 to ;c. Extracted, white, .'> to 

 oViC: amber, 4 to 4 Vie; dark, 3>i to 4c. Bees- 

 wax, 24 to 24i4c. 



The weather so far this season has been too 

 warm f<jr the free [novemeut of honey, but 

 with the present pi-icea on sugar we think 

 there should be a good demand for extracted 

 honey at the above prices. One car of 24,000 

 pounds sold since our last quotation on basis 

 of above prices. Beeswax finds ready sale at 

 24c. lor prime, while choice stock brings a 

 little more. 



San Francisco, Calif., Aug. 4. — White 

 comb. 1-lbs.. 7 toiu-.; amber comb. 4 to 6c. 

 Extracted, white. 4"/. to 5c. : light amber. 'AVt 

 to 4c.; dark tule. 25^0. Beeswax, fair to 

 choice. 25-26-. 



\\'hile the market is not especially we ik. it 

 is quiet. There is considerably more offering 

 than can be accommodated with custom at 

 full current figures. Only on local account 

 are top prices obtainable, and the quantity 

 retiuired for home use is light. There are no 

 excessive s-to jks of beeswax on the market, 

 and not likely to be the current season. 



Cleveland, Ohio, Ang. 10.— Fancy white. 

 12!4 to 13c.: No. 1. 11 to 12c.; fancy amber, 

 9c. Extracted, white. 6 to 7c. 



Very little new honey In the merket. The 

 demand for new honey the past week was 

 fairly well thus early In the season. No de- 

 mand for old honey whatever. 



Buffalo, N. Y., Aug 9.— Fancy white, 11 to 



12c.; No. 1, 9 to 10c. . fancy amber. 7 to 8e: 

 No. 1, 6V4 tj7c.; fancy dark, 5 to 7c ; No. 1 

 5 to 7c. Extracted white, 5 to 6c.: amber, 4!4 

 to 5c. ; dark, 4 to 4'ic. Beeswax, 2.'i to i8e. 



Moderate demand for any grade. Better 

 hold till October, when we can place liberal 

 quantities. 



Philadelphia, Pa., Ang lO.— Fancy white, 

 12 to 13c : No 1. 11 to 12C.; fancy amber. 10 

 to Uc: No. 1. 9c.; fancy dark, 8c.: No. 1, 6 

 to 7c. Extracted, white, 5 to 6c.; amber, 4 to 

 5c ; dark. 4c. Beeswax, 25c. 



Honey arriving treely. But little demand 

 during this hot weather. California honey 

 already bearing down the market.

Pork Diseases.— I know that I 

 am treading hallowed ground in object- 

 ing to the" Americau diet" — pork — in 

 all its various preparations, but the 

 truth, as I see it, may just as well be told 

 hero and now as to evade the responsi- 

 bility that has been entrusted to nic. I 

 do so with cowardly hesitancy, because 

 I confess to an epicurean taste for a nice 

 bit of broiled ham, cured and cookt as I 

 know at least one woman can ; or a mor- 

 sel of such delicious roast pork, with the 

 very Havor of spring chicken, that X 

 have indulged In at certain tables. But, 

 as I before suggested, these retrospec- 

 tive pleasures should be no bar against 

 an honest presentation of facts. 



The Jews of old had the more practi- 

 cal theory regarding the flesh of at that 

 time the "razor-back'" rooters, and tho 

 the breed has been greatly improved in 

 appearance and commercial value it is 

 the same old hog, with all his filthy prac- 

 tices. 



Its fat so universally used, is, beyond 

 question, the most indigestible substance 

 our innocent stomachs are imposed with, 

 and in the chemical ferment It has to 

 undergo, directly and indirectly, certain 

 manifestations of greater or less severity 

 occur in by far the largest number of 

 those who habitually use the substance 

 of this bristly animal. Ot course, the 

 visible, and most tangible evidences of 

 results do not follow the same day, 

 month or year, and thereat we take 

 courage, but that it does come need not 

 be doubted. Nor is this all ; but do you 

 know that we morally approach in char- 

 acter the very beast we feed on ? The 

 man or woman who entirely abstains 

 from it is more esthetically refined, intel- 

 lectually superior. Don't believe it, eh ? 

 Well it is so, nevertheless. Indeed, to 

 use no kinds of meat would eventuate in 

 vast improvement in the race in the 

 course of a few generations. 



Just glance at some of the results that 

 may reasonably be traced to the use of 

 pork. Indigestion or chronic dyspepsia, 

 with all its attendant complications — 

 constipation, rheumatism, weak back, 

 and some kidney troubles. Then there 

 are some of the most troublesome skin 

 diseases, not to mention pimples, tumors 

 abscesses, resulting from impaired pur- 

 ity of the blood. Further on are certain 

 forms of bone diseases, of which hip- 

 joint is a frequent and lamentableexam- 

 ple. These conditions are usually of 

 scrofulous taint, literally, "hog dis- 

 eases, ' since scrofa is latin for hog. 



I do not expect that the exhibition of 

 these facts will at once annihilate the 

 provision market, materially affect the 

 butchering business, or stop the raising 

 of herds of swine, but the hint may fall 

 into some fruitful (soul) soil, and bring 

 forth the fruits of sounder, and a more 

 intelligent and comely posterity.
