Honey yuotations 



The following rules for grading honey were 

 adopted by the North Ameiican Bee-Keepers' 

 Association, at the Washington meeting, and, so 

 far as possible, quotations are niade according to 

 these rules: 



Fancv— All sections to be well filleil; combs 

 straiuht, of even thickness, and hrmly 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 and comb un- 

 soiled by travel-stain or otherwise. 



In addition to this the honey is to be c'assified 

 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 those 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 charge only 

 five per cent, when a shipment sells for as much 

 as one hundred dollars. 



KANS.^S CITY -Market is about cleaned up 

 on honey. What is left is selling at $3.25 per 

 case, for best fancy white, amber, about 2,sc per 

 case lower. Extracted, is low at 5% and 6c

NEW YORK -There is some demand tor comb 

 honey, mostly for finer grades which are selling 

 at from 13 to 15 cts. Off grades not in demand. 

 Extracted in fair demand, mostly for white, 

 with plenty of supply. From reports we are re- 

 ceiving, the outlook is good for another large 

 crop in California and for a good crop in the 

 Southern States. Beeswax firm at 29 to 30c.

CINCINNATI— The conditions of the market, 

 at the present time, are not encouraging Honey 

 is offered from all side.*, at prices utterly regard- 

 less of the value of the article. At the same 

 time, all indications point to an unusually good 

 honey crop, which adds in making it a drag on 

 the market. 



We offer amber in barrels at 5c to 654c. 

 Fancy whitein crates of 2 60 lb. cans at 6"^ to S54c. 



Beeswax of the choice bright yellow grade, is 

 wanted at 30c per lb. delivered here.
