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 comb 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. 



BOSTON— Fancy and No. 1 white comb honey, 

 15 to 16c; fancy white extracted, 10 to lie; bees- 

 wax, 30c.

NEW YORK CITY- The demand for comb honey 

 has slackened off considerably during the past few 

 weeks, and we do not expect any revival until after 

 the holidays; while we are not over stocked on 

 fancy white, we are heavily stocked up with buck- 

 wheat, mixed and off grades, all of which have not 

 been in much demand this season. We quote fancy 

 white at 15c; No. 1 at 14c; off grades at from 11 

 to 1 2c; dark, mixed and buckwheat at 10c. Ex- 

 tracted in good demand at unchanged prices. 

 Beeswax quiet at from 29 to 30c.

CHICAGO— The market at present is quiet, as is 

 usual with thi end of December. The amount in 

 dealers hands is not excessive. We quote as fol- 

 lows: Fancy white, 18c; No. 1 white, 16 to 17c: 

 fancy amber, I 3 to 15c; No. 1 amber, 11 to 12c; 

 fancy dark, 10c: No. 1 dark, 7 to 9c; white ex- 

 tracted, 8 to 9c; amber. 7 to 8c. dark, 6 to 7c; 

 beeswax, if clean, 32c.

CINCINNATI— While the price on fancy comb 

 honey is very firm, the demand is not as good as 

 it was 60 days ago owing to the fact that the many 

 bee-keepers bring in their little lots to the country 

 stores which lessens the demand from the jobber. 

 We are selling strictly fancy comb honey in 24 

 section cases, S4. 00 by (he single case, and to the 

 jobber at $3 75, Amber and dark comb honey is 

 not wanted at any price. Extracted honey is 

 suffering to some extent in demand as it always 

 does around the holidays. There is no reason for 

 lowering the prices stated, it will not hasten the 

 sales; we therefore quote amber honey in barrels, 

 according to quantity and quality purchased, from 

 S'Ac to 7Kc; fancy white in 60 lb. cans from 9c to 

 10c. We are paying for choice beeswax from 28c 

 to 30c per lb. delivered here.

 demand for honey slackens up. Prices are well

 light amber. S3. 38; No. 2, S3 15; extracted, white, 

 9c; light amber, 8 to B'jc; strained, 6K to 754c. 

 We pay 25 to 26c per pound for clean, yellow 

 beeswax delivered here.
