Honey yuotations 



The following rules for grading honey were 

 adopted by the North American Bee-Keepers' 

 Association, at the Washington meeting, and, so 

 far as possible, quotations are niade according to 

 these rules: 



Fancy — All sections to be well filled; combs 

 straight, of even thickness, and tirmly attached 

 to all four sides; both wood and comb unsoiled 

 by travel-stain or otherwise; all the cells sealed 

 except the row of cells next the wood. 



No. I. — All sections well filled, but combs un- 

 even or crooked, detsched at the bottom, or with 

 but few cells unsealed; both wood atid comb un- 

 soiled by travel-stain or otherwise. 



In addition to this the honey is to be classified 

 according to color, using the terms white, amber 

 and dark. That is, there will be "fancy white," 

 "No. I, dark," etc. 



The prices given in the following quotations 

 are tho.se at which the dealers sell to the gro- 

 cers. From these prices must be deducted 

 freight, cartage and commission — the balance 

 being sent to the shipper. Commission is ten 

 per cent ; except that a few dealers chRrge only 

 five per cent, when a shipment sells for as much 

 as one hundred dollars. 



KANS.i.S CITY— We quote as follows: No. i 

 white, J3.00 per crate of 24 sections; No. i amber, 

 $2.75: white, extracted, 6'_c; amber, 6c; dark. 

 Sc. Beeswax at 25c to 30c.

 fancy amber 9c to iic; fancy dark, 8c to loc.

CHICAGO— The trade is steady with about (he 

 usual demand; the prices range from 14c to i«c 

 for best grades of white comb honey. There is 

 not an active demand for off grades, which 

 usually sell at ic to 3c per lb. less. 



For extracted a steady cemand exists for the 

 best grades at 63^c to 7c, but for sour or off 

 flavors there is practically no sale. Beeswax, 

 brings 30c per lb.

CHICAGO— During the fore part of Februarv, 

 trade on comb honey was slow, but the past week 

 or so orders have been coming in very freelj-, and 

 from present indications, stocks of comb honey 

 held in Chicago will be exhausted in the near 

 future. If there are any producers who still 

 have any honey to ship, advise letting it lome 

 forward, as we are in position to place it at satis- 

 factory prices. We quote as follows: Fancy 

 white, 15c; No. 1 white, 14c; No. 2 white, nc to 

 13c depending on quality; white extracted, 6 to
