Honey yuotations 



The fol. owing rules for grading honey were 

 adopted 1 y the North Anieiican Bte-Keepcrs' 

 Association, at the Washington meeting, an ', so 

 far as possible, quotations are niade according to 

 these rules: 



Fancy— All sections to be well fillCii; combs 

 straivht, of even thickness, and hrnily attached 

 to all lour suits; both wood and conili utisoiled 

 by travel-stain or otherwise; all the cells sealed 

 except the row ot cells next the wood. 



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

 even or crooked, det^'Ched at the bottom, or with 

 but few cells unsealed; both wood and comb un- 

 soilcd by travel-stain or otherwise. 



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

 accoriling to color, usitig the terms white, amber 

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

 "No. I, dark," etc. 



The prices eiven in the following qviotations 

 are those at which the dealers sell to the gro- 

 cers. Kroui these prices must be deducted 

 fi eight, cartage and commission — the balance 

 being sent to the shipper. Commis.sion is ten 

 per cent ; except that a few d- alerb charge only 

 five percent when a shipment sells for as much 

 as one hundred dollars. 



BUFFALO— '=ome really fancy honey wanted 

 now to sell. Lower grades not wanted except 

 at very low prices. We quote as follows: Fancy 

 while, 14c to i.sc; No. i white. 12 to 13c; fancy 

 amber, loc to iic. Beeswax 28 to , •52c.
