COMB HONEY. 



Verj' little left to offer. Some extra-fine fancy Mich- 

 igan white-clover in l"2-lb. cases, at 17c per lb ; fancy 

 amber, 15c. A few cases of the Colorado still on hand 

 at same price as Michigan clover. 



BEESWAX WANTED. 



We should like to hear from those having beeswax 

 to dispose of. We want to increase our stock before 

 winter sets in. Those having any to sell or exchange 

 for supplies of any kind will do well to write us, or to 

 ship at once. We are paying 26c cash, 28c in trade, 

 for average wax delivered here. 



HONEY MARKET. 



Since our last report we have made a gocd many 

 sales, and have had numerous inquiries. The demand 

 continues. We are putting up extracted honey in No. 

 25 jars, 2 dozen to a case, holding a full pound each at 

 $2.25 per dozen, the No. 100 jars holding 14 oz. at 82.00 

 per dozen, and have bee i having quite a nice trade. 

 These prices are somewhat higher than we have been 

 selling at, but none too high for choice white-clover 

 honey at present values. Extracted honey retails 

 readily in England at a shilling a pound, put up in 

 pound bottles, and some of Selser's trade get as much 

 as 30c retail for a pound bottle. We have the follow- 

 ing lots on hand to offer, subject to prior sale. 



EXTRACTED HONEY. 



We have on hand the following lots : 



No. 35. — Ba.sswood, very fine, in gallon cans, 8 cans 

 in a case; case lots at 10 cts. per lb. Only 5 cases left. 



No. 45. — White-clover honey in five-gallon cans, two 

 in a ca.se. Price 10 cts. per lb Only 15 cases of this 

 on hand. Very fine. 



No. 61.— Colorado alfalfa. Very light color, and 

 heavy body ; 9^c per lb. 



No. 68. — Texas honey, light amber, 20 cases. Price 

 8^c per lb. 



No. 71.— Six cases sweet clever in 60-lb. cans ; 9^c 

 per lb. 



We have bought a carloid of basswood honey in 

 barrels of 360 lbs. This we can furnish at 9 cents 

 per lb. in barrel lots. All lots offered, subject to pre- 

 vious sale. 



BICYCLES IN TR.\DE FOR HONEY, WAX, OR CASH. 



""since our offer to furnish these wheels at 815.00 we 

 have disposed of ten, and have only five left, which 

 may be had on the same terms as long as they last. 

 This is quite a little less than they cost us, but we 

 would rather close them out at a sacrifice than carrv 

 them over till another season. The wheels remain- 

 ing unsold are all maroon color, have adjustable han- 

 dle-ber, about 80 gear, and a bargain for the price. 

 We test each wheel before shipping, so as to be sure 

 they are all right, and sell them at this price without 

 guarantee, the company that made them being in- 

 solvent. 



PRICES ON SUPPLIES FOR 1901. 



We are waiting till after election before announc- 

 ing prices, where there is likely to be a change from 

 those ruling the past season. If the present adminis- 

 tration is continued we look for renewed confidence 

 and investment with maintenance of general prices. 

 Steady work at good wages insures active business in 

 almo-t all lines at steady remunerative prices. A 

 change of administration will produce uncertainty 

 and hesitation, with a certain shrinkage in business, 

 and a probable decline in values in many lines. We 

 believe the great majority of the people receive great- 

 er benefit from active business at good prices than 

 they do when times are dull and many are unemplov- 

 ed, and values sink below the remunerative level. We 

 are not looking for a change in the administration. 



NEW BOOKS. 



Two new books are ju.st out from the O. Judd Co., at 

 their new popular price of .50 cts , postpaid; nicely 

 bound in cloth, fully illustrated, about 150 pages each. 

 One of them is entitled " Landscape Gardening," a 

 treatise on the general principles of fixing up your
