out spending the night before in a bar- 

 room, has gone to visit the pale glimpses 

 of the moon, and he has always been gone. 

 The writer who produces a great poem or a 

 great essay while maudlin, was removed 

 from this planet before the command, 

 ■ Let there be light !' was given. The book- 

 keeper, clerk, mechanic, salesman, artisan, 

 young or old, is not at his best while under 

 the iuHuence of liquor, and he is not as 

 valuable to himself, his employer, or 

 society. In the race of life the temperate 

 man has the best of it; the drinking man 

 is handicapt. The sober man is always an 

 improvement on the drunken man."

I HONEY AND BEESWAX | 



MARKET QUOTATIONS. 



Chicago, Sept. 7.— Fancy white comb houev, 

 15c; No. 1, 13*«_rl4c; light amber, ll(al2c; dark 

 and amber, ')unoc. Extracted, white, 7wSc; am- 

 ber, 6!^fa7c: dark, 6Cgi6Kc. Beeswax, 2S«i 2oc. 



Consignments of small lots of comb honev are 

 becoming more frequent, and while there' are 

 some who will not buy at the prevailing price, 

 yet a fair trade is being done; this also applies 

 to extracted honey and beeswax. 



R, A. Burnett & Co. 



Kansas CiTv, Sept. 14.— The supplvofcomb 

 honey is very light. Scarcely anv extracted on 

 the market. We quote fancy 1-pound comb, 

 14(rtl5c; No. 1, 13f{i-14c; No. 1 amber, 12(SJl3c. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 7c; amber, 5ia,6c; datk, 4:^5c. 

 Beeswax, 22'«25c. C. C. Clemons & Co. 



New York, Aug. 22.— Demand good for new 

 crop comb honey, excepting buckwheat. We 

 quote as follows: 



Fancy white, 14(ail5c; No. 1 white, 12"' 13c; 

 fancy amber, lie; No. 1 amber, 10c. Extracted 

 firm at unchanged prices. Beeswax dull at 



25'" 26c. HiLDRETH & SeGELKEN. 



San Francisco, Aug. 25.— White comb, 11!^@ 

 12!^c; amber, .'SfmUic. Extracted, whiie,7i4(g7-*i. 

 light amber, tyniqUc. Beeswax, 26to27c. 



Market is firm at unchanged quotations, with 

 demand fair and offerings light. The last Pan- 

 ama steamer took 312 cases e.xtracted for New 

 York. The ship Centesima sailed with 349 cases 

 for Liverpool; another took 4,000 lbs. beeswax. 



Cleveland, Aug. IS.— New honey scarce aud 

 in good demand. Fancy white, 15c:'No. 1 white, 

 13f<f 14c; fancy amber, i2c; No. 1 amber. IUkiIIc. 

 A. B. Williams &. Co. 



Boston, Sept. S.— Fancy white comb, l-pound 

 sections. 16c; A No. 1, 14(al5c; No. 1, 12fal3;^c; 

 No. 2, lie. Light amber extracted, S(«8^c; am- 

 ber, none to ([uote. Beeswax, 27c. 



Practically no new comb honey has been re- 

 ceived as yet, and stocks are steadily being re- 

 duced, so that there is really no honey on hand, 

 with quite a little inquiries. We strongly ad- 

 vise shipments of comb honey to be made as 

 early as possible. Blake', Scott & Lee, 



Buffalo, Sept. 16,^— Extra fancy one-pound 

 comb sells well at 13(«il4c choice, lKa'12c; dark, 

 10 cents down, as to grade. Demand much bet- 

 ter. Receipts light. Batterson & Co. 



Omaha, Aug. 16.— Still very little doing and 

 receipts so light that a market price has really 

 not been establisht. Little lots of choice new 

 comb are still going at 14(al5c, but a good many 

 dealers will not touch it at these prices, and ia 

 order to place larger quantities at this time a 

 considerably lower figure would have to be 

 made. In the course ot another month, when 

 the weather is cooler and the taste for fruits 

 more fully satisfied, the demand for honey will 

 be more general and a more reliable market can 

 be quoted. Extracted is slow sale at 7f« 7!4c. 

 Peycke Bros. 



Detroit, Sept. 11. — Honey-producers accus- 

 tomed to selling in Detroit have hard work to 

 satisfy local trade. Very little honey in market. 

 White comb, 14('jl5c; dark, 12f*? 13c. White ex- 

 tracted, 7}3'"8c. No dark w.anted. Beeswax, 

 23(<_' 25c. M. H. Hunt i Son.
