HONEY and BEESWAX 



MAKKKX «^IJOTA'riO:^S. 



Chicasro, 111., Oct. 19.— Fancy white 11 to 



12c. No. 1, lOc; taacy amber, 8 toOc. ; No. 1, 

 7.; fancy dark. 8c.; No 1. Te. Extracted, 

 white, .'> to 6c.; amber, 4 to 5c. ; dark, 4c. 

 Beeswax. liG to '27c. 



There is a lair trade In honey, despite the 

 amount that Is lipln^r peddled about the city 

 by parties who are coming in with it, and who 

 take lower fluures than quoted, as a rule. This 

 however is customaiy when local yield is 

 large. 



San Francisco, Calif., Oct. 13,— Whit© 



comb, l-lbs., 7 to 9c ; amber comb, 4 to 6c, 

 Extracted, white, 4 to i%<i.; light amber. 

 3!4 to3^c.; dark tuie. 1?4 to aKic. Beeswax, 

 fair to choice, 22 to 24r. 



Shipments of over 400 cases extracted were 

 made the past week by sailinp vessel to Edjt- 

 land. More could be placed on foreign ac- 

 count, but at such low figures— 3>4 to 4c. for 

 light amber towater white— that most holders 

 rafuse to accept. Slightly firmer prices rule 

 on local account, but trade Is of a light order. 



Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. 19,— Fancy white, 

 11 to 12c.; No. 1, 10 to lie; No. 1 amber. 8 

 to 10c. Extracted, white, 5 to Oc, ; amber, 4 

 to 5c.; dark, HH to 4c. Beeswax, 20 to 25c. 



Demand tor honey is very slow, owing to 

 warm weather and an abundance of fruit on 

 our markets. Demand Is good for beeswax. 



Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 19.— Fancy white. 



11 to i;ic.; No 1. y to 10c. ; fancy amber. 9 to 

 10c. Extracted, white. 5 to 6c. Beeswax, 25c, 



Demand for fancy white comb honey and 

 fancy white extracted is exceptionallv good, 

 while there is almost no demand for dark or 

 amber comb or extracted honey. 



Detroit, Uich,, Oct. 20.— Fancy white. 11 

 to 12c.; No. 1.10 to lie; fancy amber, 9 to 

 10c. ; No. 1 , 8 to 9c : fancy dark, 8 to 9c, Ex- 

 tracted, white, 5 to 5^c.; amber, 5c.; dark, 4c. 

 Beeswax. 25 to 26c. 



Honey is selling fairly well, with supply up 

 to the demand. 



aillwankee. Wis., Oct, 19.— Fancy white. 



12 to 13c.; No. 1,11 to 12c; fancy amber, 8 

 to 10c. Extracted, white, 5i4 to 6c.; amber. 

 4 to oc. ; dark, 4 to 4 l-2c. Beeswax, 26 to 

 27c. 



This market for honey is in a very fair con- 

 dition, and the consuming capacity is being 

 enlarged. The supply is very fair, althouBh 

 we think there will be room enough for fur- 

 ther shipments. The general quality of the 

 comb honey so far Is an Improvement over 

 last season, which fact we are pleased to note, 

 and hope It will conilnue. more and more. 



Cleveland, Ohio, Oct. 19.— Fancy white. 

 12^ to i:Jc. : No. 1, U to I2c. ; fancy amber. 9 

 to 10c. ; No. 1. 8c. : fancy dark. 7c.; No. 1. 6c. 

 Extracted, white. 6 to 6^c.: amber. 5 to 5Hc. 

 Beeswax. 28 to 30c. 



The demand for honey is increasing and we 

 believe it will continue as the weather gets 

 colder. We would advise shipping white 

 honey, but dark is not moving sufficiently to 

 encourage shipments. 



Buffalo, H. T., Oct. 19.— Fancy white. 11 to 

 12c,; No. J, 10 to lie; lancy amber, 8 to 9c.; 

 No. 1, 7 to 8o ; fancy dark. 6 to 7c.: No. 1, 6 

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

 4J4c. Beeswax. 24 to 28c. 



Receipts are lirht and demand is increasing. 

 Trade is Improving, with prospects of being 

 sustained. 



ZTew York, N. Y., Oct. 20.— Fancy white, 

 12c.; No. 1. 10 to lie ; fancy amber, to 

 lOo. ; No. 1 . 9c. : fancy dark. 8 !4 to 9c, ; No. 1. 

 8to8!4c. Extracted, white, 5 to 5Hc.; amber, 

 414 to5c. ; dark, 4c. Beeswax, 26 to 27c. 



During the past two weeks the market has 

 not been so active, probably on account of the 

 warm weather. When cooler weather sets In 

 to stay, we expect a more active demand 

 again. Southern in barrels is in good demand 

 at oOc. per gallon. Beeswax in good demand. 



Minneapolis* Minn., Oct, 19. — Fancy 



white. 10'/4 to imc; fancy amber. 9!i to 10c. 

 Extracted, white, oi4 to 5'ic. 



The market could stand more goods, if de- 

 sirable quality. Fair demand for all grades, 

 but fancy meets with ready sale. Would ad- 

 vise shipping now. 



Kansas City, Mo., Oct, 20.— P'ancy white. 

 12c.: No. 1. 10 to lie: No. 1 amber. 8 to lOc; 

 Extracted, white, 5^4 to 6c,; amber, 5e; dark, 

 4e Beeswax. 22 to 21c. 



Receipts of comb honey are large; ex- 

 tracted is light. 



Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 23.— Fancy white, 

 13 to 14e; No 1. 12c.; fancy amber. lOe; 

 No. 1. 9c.: fancy dark. 8c.: No. 1, 7c. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 5 to 6e; amber, 50.; dark, 4 to 

 4V4c. Beeswax, 26 to 27c. 



lioocy is moving very lively; our market 

 uses more now than any time during the year. 

 Beeswax in good demand ; very light supply. 



Boston, Mass., Oct 22. -Fancy white. 

 13c.: No. 1. 11 tol2e: fancy amber. lOe Ex- 

 tracted, white, 6 to 7e; amber, 5 to 5>4c. 



While the demand is fair. It is not as good as 

 it should be at this season; but with cold 

 weather we look to see a better demand. 



Albany, Ht. Y., Sept. 25.— Fancy white. 12 

 to 13c.: No. 1. 11 to 120.: fancy amber, 9 to 

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

 1. 7 to 8c. 



Comb honey Is arriving quite freely and 

 moving off nicely at iiuotatlons.

Doctor^s fi\r)is 



By lir. I'EIRO, 



Central Music Hall, ♦. Chicago, III. 



Peanuts have been greatly extolled 

 as a successful diet in dyspepsia and con- 

 sumption. Admitting the oil they con- 

 tain is very rich In muscle-building mat- 

 erial, besides being very palatable nour- 

 ishment, I have known many who could 

 not digest them, and hence proved harm- 

 ful. But when they can be eaten with 

 comfort they are no doubt excellent. 

 They are so easy to raise In your garden 

 that all boys and girls should take pleas- 

 ure in having a patch of them. 



Elderberry-'wine is an article all 

 good mothers should make and keep for 

 special occasions. The berries are usu- 

 ally so easy to obtain, have little acid, 

 hence require little sugar, making it the 

 cheapest good wine that can be made. 

 Well bottled and placed in a cool place it 

 steadily grows better with age. It is one 

 of the gentlest, most palatable, and ef- 

 fective mild stimulants to patients con- 

 valescing from any form of lung trouble. 

 A tablespoonf ul every two or three hours 

 works wonders in the sufferer just e- 

 merging from an attack of pneumonia or 

 bronchitis. It is also excellent in whoop- 

 ing-cough and scarlet fever. 



Singling is a greater blessing than 

 most persons are aware of. Not that 

 every one that tries succeeds in pleasing 

 an audience, but the very exercise greatly 

 tends to develop the lungs and thus over- 

 come tendencies to disease of these or- 

 gans. The more air — rather the oxygen 

 in the atmosphere — inhaled, the better 

 for any one, and singing is the best 

 means to this end. There are, profes- 

 sional vocalists who can inhale about 

 four times as much as ordinary persons, 

 due to the constant practice of singing. 



mrs. Ellen C. Bland, on page 

 537, gives me " fits " on the pork ques- 

 tion. I am glad of it — glad that she has 

 the spirit to contend for her opinion. 

 And I have no doubt if all pork that is 

 eaten were as carefully fattened as this 

 lady has done, it would go far in making 

 it a healthy diet. But, dear Mrs. Bland, 

 you know that is far from the general 

 fact. There is only one certain, and to 

 me delightful, way of settling this ques- 

 tion between us — it is for me to come 

 and sample your hog product* with the 

 addition of nice raised biscuits, and 

 honey. Please encourage the idea.
