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. 



NEW YORK CiTY— Regarding comb honey, we 

 have nothing new to report. Trade is quiet, de- 

 mand slow, even for fancy and No. 1 white; while 

 off grades, mixed a d buckwheat are neglected 

 altogether, and for the present we cannot encour- 

 age shipments of comb honey of any kind, as we 

 have all we can do to dispose of the present hold- 

 ings. Extracted in good demand with prices firm. 

 We are in the market for fancy stock, white clover 

 or alfalfa, and would be glad to hear from pro- 

 ducers who have any to dispone of. Beeswax 

 quiet at from 29c to 30c per pound

CHICAGO— There is a scarcity of extracted 

 honey especially from the Linden and clover 

 nectars, which is being felt by the trade. Beeswax 

 in good demand. We quote the ollowing prices. 

 Fancy white, 18c; No. 1 white, 17c; fancy amber. 

 1 5c; No. I amber, 1 to 1 2c; fancy dark, 9 to 1 Oc; 

 white extracted, 8 to 9c; amber, 7 to 8c; dark, 7c; 

 beeswax. 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 the 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 

 5!4c 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.
