Boston, Nov., 19. — Recent heavy arrivals, to- 

 gether with very low quotations from some 

 other markets, have had a tendency to weaken 

 our market. We quote: Fancy No. 1, 15c.; 

 No. 2, 14c. ; with ample stock. Absolutely no 

 call for buckwheat. Extracted honey, 6 to 8c. 

 Blake, Scott & Lee Co. 



Cincinnati, Dec. 10. — The demand foP honey 

 at present is not good, owing to the ap- 

 proach of the holidays, when too many sweets 

 are found on the market. On the other hand, 

 the trade is well supplied with comb honey, 

 that will require a length of time to be con- 

 sumed. Are offering extracted white clover 

 honey, in barrels and cans, at 6V2 to 8i/^c. 

 Amber, 5 3-4 to 654c. Fancy comb honey, 

 121/^ to 14c. Beeswax, 29 and 30c.

 zine in the World. 



BOrs LIKE IT BECA USE IT TREA TS 



of everviliing Boys a> e Interested in 



and in ike Way that Interests 



Them. 



PARENTS LIKE IT 



and their boys like to have it, because of its 

 pure and manly tone and the high character 

 of its contents. It is the only successful at- 

 tempt to chain a boy's interest and give him 

 the kind of reading matter that he wants 

 served to him in such a way as to stir his 

 ambition, uplift and inspire him. Boys want 

 reading matter as much as "grown-ups" if 

 they can get the right kind. If parents sup- 

 ply them the wishy-washy kind, or none at 

 all, they usually manage to get the kind they 

 oughtn't to have, and boy-bandits and would- 

 be "Deadwood Dicks" are the result. 

 YOUR BOY WILL LIKE 

 "IHE AMERICAN BOY" 

 and you will like him to have it, for it is in" 

 teresting, instructive, and educative. Au" 

 thorities pronounce it the ideal boys' maga" 

 zine. It has been a tremendous success, gain" 

 ing nearly 125, QUO .subscriptions in four years> 

 and the parents of our subscribers say it de- 

 serves a million more. As one parent writes: 

 "/« my opiition TH P. AMERICAN 

 BOY works a tivo-/old purpose. It 

 makes a man out 0/ a hoy, and it makes 

 a boy out 0/ a full-grown man." 

 No publication for young people is paying 

 so much money for high-class literary matter 

 for its readers as is "The American Boy."
