HONEY MARKETS 



The prices listed below are intended to represent, 

 as nearly as possible, the average market prices at 

 which honey and beeswax are selling at the time of 

 t!u> report in the city mentioned. Unless otherwise 

 staled, tliis is the price at which sales are being 

 made iy commission merchants or by producers 

 direct to the retail merchants. When sales are made 

 I y comnis.sion merchants the usual commission 

 (from live to ten per cent), .cartage, and freiglu will 

 lie deducted: and in addition there is often a <-narge 

 for storaitt by the commission merchant. When sales 

 are made by the producer direct to the retailer, 

 commission and storage and other charges are elim- 

 inated. Sales made to wholesale houses are usually 

 about ten per cent less than those to retail mer- 

 chants. 



Cleveland. — Only very little new comb honey in 

 market vet. Demand also continues light. There 

 is still a'little old honey in market at $2.00 to $3.25 

 per case as to qualitv and condition. Comb honey, 

 new, fancy, brings $3.85 to $4.00.

Albany. — On account of the threatened railroad 

 strike and also the fact that few producers have any 

 great amount of hone'y ready to ship, there is but 

 little stock on our market, and it is just as well with 

 present warm weather and limited demand. A large 

 stock would tend to weaken prices. Comb honey, 

 per case of 20 combs, $2.50 to $3.00, according to 

 weight. No. 1 buckwheat of 20 combs, $2.50 to 

 m cans, 7 to 8 ; amber in cans, 7.

Albany, N. Y., Sept. 9. 



St. Louis. — Our honey market is quiet. Receipts 

 of extracted honey have been quite large within the 

 last two weeks. Our quotations are unchanged, 

 but no firm price has yet been established on new 

 crop of comb honey. We quote extra fancy, per 

 case, $3.50 to $3.75; fancy, $3.25; No. 1, $3.00; 

 No. 2, $2.50 to $2.75. Extracted white brings 9 

 cts. ; light amber in cans, 8 cts. ; amber, in cans, 

 fj ¥> ; barrels, 6 cts. Clean average yellow beeswax 

 brings 281^ cts. R. Haktmann Produce Co. 



St. Louis, Sept. 7. 



Kansas City. — There is quite a little honey on 

 our market. The demand in the small towns is 

 somewhat slow, on account of the heavy crop of 

 native honey produced early in the season. The 

 citv is well supplied, selling at the following pricces: 

 Fancy, $3.25; No. 1, $3.25; No. 2, $2.75 to $2.90. 

 Strictly fancy white extracted, 8 V2 ; light amber, in 

 cans, 7%; amber, in cans, 7c. Clean, average yel- 

 low beeswax brings 25c. 



0. C. Clemons Produce Co. 



Kansas City, Sept. 11. 



Chicago. — The receipts of the yield of 19 10 from 

 the adjacent territory are liberal, and the quality is 

 of the best ; sales are being made at the prices nam- 

 ed, but the supply is in excess of demand, as it is 

 early. Prospects of sales are encouraging. This 

 market sells by weight; extra fancy per pound, IC 

 cts., in closed cartons; fancy, 15 cts. with or with- 

 out cartons: No. 1, 13 to 14 cts., with or without 

 cartons; No. 2, 8 to 12 cts., with or without car- 

 tons. Extracted white, per lb., 7 to 9 cts. ; light

FRAUDULENT ADVERTISING. 



It rejoices my heart to find the following, which I 

 clip from Farm Life : • 



ADVERTISK HONESTLY SAYS THE ASSOCIATION OK 

 NATIONAL ADVERTISERS. 



The following Declaration of Principles was unan- 

 imously adopted by this Association at Dayton, Ohio, 

 May 5, 1916: 



Resolvid, That we, members of the Association of 

 National Advertisers, are opposed to advertising of 

 the following kinds: 



All advertising that is fraudulent or questionable, 

 whether financial, medical, or any other ; all adver- 

 tising that is indecent, vulgar, or suggestive, either 

 in theme or treatment ; that is "blind" or ambiguous 

 in wording, and calculated to mislead; that makes 

 false, unwarranted, or exaggerated claims ; that 

 makes uncalled-for reflections on competitors or 

 competitive goods; that makes misleading free offers; 

 all advertising to laymen of products containing hab- 

 it-forming or dangerous drugs; all advertising that 

 makes remedial, relief, or curative claims, either 

 directly or by inference, that are not justified by the 

 facts or common experience; and any other advertis- 

 ing that may cause money loss to the reader or in- 

 jury in health or morals or loss of confidence in 

 reputable advertising and honorable business. 



Resolved, That we recognize our own obligation 

 as advertisers to conform to these principles. 



Resolved, That we urge upon all publishers and 

 upon all sellers of advertising space or service, a 

 strict adherence to these principles, and that, in so 

 far as the exigencies of our individual business will 

 permit, we direct our advertising to those mediums 

 which make the observance of these principles their 

 rule and practice. 



The Association of National Advertisers repre- 

 sents the leading advertisers of .America. They 

 stand as one man behind these resolutions. They 

 are determined to do everything in their power to 

 make it impossible for the advertising fraud to live.
