Honey Quotations. 



The following rules for grading honey were 

 adopted by the North American Bee-Keepers' Asso- 

 ciation, at the Washington meeting, and, so far as 

 possible, quotations are made according to these 

 rules : 



Fancy— All sections to be well filled; combs 

 straight, of even thickness, and firmly attached to 

 all four sides; both wood and ccmb unsoiled by 

 travel-stain or otherwise; all the cells 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 cells unsealed; both wood and comb unsoiled 

 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. 1, dark." etc. 



The prices given in the following quotations are 

 those at which the dealers sell to the grocers. 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 deal- 

 ers charge only five per cent, when a shipment sells 

 for as much as one hundred dollars. 



KANSAS CITY— We quote as follows per case 

 of 24 sections: No. 1 . white, S3. 25; No. 1 amber, 

 $3.00; white extracted, 7 cts; No. 2 white and

NEW YORK CITY-Duringthe past few weeks 

 the demand for comb honey has slackened off 

 somewhat. There is still fair demand for No. 1 

 and fancy white, but off grades and dark are 

 rather neglected, and not in much demand. While 

 our stock is not large, it is sufficient to meet the 

 demand, and straggling lots are still coming in. 

 We quote fancy white, 15c; No. 1, 14c; off grades, 

 II to 13c; buckwheat and dark, 10 to 12c, ac- 

 cording to quality. Extracted, demand fair, princi- 

 pally for California, prices ruling the same as our 

 last quotation. Beeswax, steaoy and in good de- 

 mand at 30c per lb.

TOLEDO— The demand for comb honey has 

 been only normal, and we look for a slack in these 

 goods soon, as is usual about Dec. 1st, owing to 

 the cold weather which makes the shipping of 

 comb honey risky. So I ar, fancy grades have met 

 with a ready sale but amber and dark grades seem 

 to be a drug on the market. Beeswax is in fair 

 demand especially for good yellow stock. We quote 

 as follows: Fancy white 16 to 17; No. I white 15 

 to 1 6 ; fancy amber, 1 4 to I 5 No. I amber 1 2 to I 3 ; 

 White, extracted 9 to 10; amber, 8 to 9; beeswax, 

 28 to 30. 



THE GRIGGS BROS. & NICHOLS CO., 

 Nov. 22, 1909. Toledo, Ohio 



CHICAGO— Fancy comb is scarce, and sells 

 upon arrival as does beeswax, both at top price. 

 We quote as follows: Fancy white, 16 cents; 

 No. I white, I 5 cents; fancy amber, 12 cents; No. 

 1 amber, 9 to 1 cents; fancy dark, 9 cents; No, 

 I dark, 7 cents; white extracted, 7 to 8 cents; 

 amber extracted, 6 to 7 cents; dark extracted, 6 

 cents, beeswax 30 to 32 cents.

CINCINNATI HONEY MARKET-The demand 

 for comb honey is slacking up, but prices are still 

 firm, however. We are selling it from the store at 

 16 to 17 cts. by the single case; wholesale from 

 15 to 16^ cts. according to the quality. The de- 

 mand for extracted honey is pretty fair, with no 

 change, however. Aster honey in barrels sells at 

 from 5^ to 6 '/a according to the quantity and qual- 

 ity bought Fancy table honey from 8 to lOcts. in 

 60 pound cans, two cans to a crate. Beeswax is 

 wanted here at 29 cts. cash.

We have been using the Dan-ze smokers in Our 

 Northern Michigan Apiaries, and like them very 

 well. My brother, Elmer, prefers them to any other. 

 Their good points are fairly set forth in the adver- 

 tisement in this isssue. The price is $ 1 .25 postpaid, 

 but 1 will send the Review one year, and one of 

 these smokers, for only $1 .75.
