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, detachied at the bottom, or with but 

 f)w cells unsealed; both wood and comb unsoiled 

 oy travel-stain or otherwise. 



In addition to this the honey is to be cleissified 

 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.

R. A. BURNETT & CO.. 

 Feb. 15 199 S Water St. 



CINCINNATI— Demand for comb honey has 

 slackened up to such an extent that those who have 

 any on hand are sacrificing it in order to get rid of 

 it. On the other hand, it does not seem as if the 

 trade is craving for honey in the comb at this time 

 of the year. Extracted honey is not moving as 

 freely as we expected, nevertheless, for strictly 

 fancy we are getting from 9c to 10c in 60-pound 

 cans, two cans to the crate, according to the quality 

 and quantity bought. Amber honey in barrels from 

 BUc to 8c per pound. We are paying 30c cash or 

 32c in irade for nice, bright jellow beeswax, free 

 from dirt. 

 Feb. 6 THE FRED W. MUTH CO. 



KANSAS CITY— The demand for comb and 

 white extracted is good. The deman d for amber 

 extracted is very light. Beeswax good demand.

 amber, S3. 25; No. 1 dark. $2.75 to $3.00; white

 to 30c. 



C. C.CLEMONSPRO. CO. 

 Feb. 16 



TOLEDO— The demand for honey is normal for 

 this lime of the yea'' There is a fair demand for 

 white comb honey, and stocks seem to be large 

 enough to supply the demand. We have some calls 

 outside for comb honey, which would indicate a 

 shortage in some marke s Extracted is n good 

 demand and not much is being offered Beeswax 

 is firm and demand is good. Selling prices are as 

 follows; Fancy white, 16c to 17c; No. 1 white, 

 15c to 16c: fancy amber, no demand; white ex-
