Fancy— All sections to be well filled; combs 

 straieht, of even thickness, and hrmly attached 

 to all four sides; J>oth 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, detached at the bottom, or with 

 but few cells unsealed; lx)th wood and 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 eiven 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 d<=alers charge only 

 five per cent, when a shipment sells for as much 

 as one hundred dollars. 



CHICAGO— The recipts of comb honey are 

 quite large, and there is also a good demand for 

 It. so that prices are well maintained at i';c to i6c 

 per lb. for No. i to fancy; anything short of 

 these grades is not selling freely and ranges

 grades. 8 to loc. Extracted white ev-c to y'Ac
