Honey yuolalions 



The following rules for grading honey were 

 adopted by the North Ameiican Bre-Keepers' 

 Association, at the \V'ashiiigton meeting, aiiH, so 

 far as possible quotations are niade according to 

 these rules: 



Fancy — All sections to be well filled; combs 

 straight, of even thickness, and Hrmly attached 

 to all four sid s; both wood and comb nnsoiled 

 by travel-stain or otherwise: all the ce'ls sealed 

 except the row of cells next the wood. 



No. 1. — All sections well filled, but combs un- 

 even or crooked, detached at the bottom, or with 

 but few ce Is unsealed: both wood and comb nn- 

 soiled by travel-slain or otherwise. 



In addition to this tlie 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 i" the following quotations 

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

 cers. Krom these prices must be deducted 

 freight, cartage and commission — the balance 

 bejng sent to the shipper. Commission is ten 

 per cent ; except that a few d« alers charge only 

 five per cent when a shipment sells for as much 

 as one hundred dollars.

 white, $3 CO per crate of 24 sections; No. i amber, 

 J2.75: white, extracted, 6'_.c; amber, 6c; dark.

 usual demand; the p' ices range from 14c to nc

 not an active demand for olT grades, which

 best grades at 6J^c to 7c, but for sour or off 

 flavors there is practically no sale. Beeswax, 

 brings 30c per lb.

 trade on comb honey was slow, but the past week 

 or so orders have been coming in very freely, and 

 from present indications, stocks of comb honey 

 held ill Chicago will be exhausted in the near 

 future. If tliere are any producers who still 

 have any honey to ship advise letting it ■ onie 

 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, iic to 

 13c depending on quality; white extracted, 6 to
