Honey Quotations 



The following rules for grading honey were 

 siiopted by the North American Bee-Keepers' 

 Association, at the Washington meeting, and, 

 so far as possible, quotations are made accord- 

 ing 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 

 uneven 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 classi- 

 fied 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 groc- 

 ers. 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 dealers 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 Itic; fancy white extracted, 12c; 

 beeswax, 30 c.

NEW YORK CITY— There is practically 

 nothing doing in comb honey. Our stock of 

 white is pretty well cleaned up and there is 

 some demand at around 13c to 1.5c, according 

 to quality. Off grades, mixed and buckwheat, 

 are not wanted at any reasonable price, and 

 we will probably be compelled to carry over 

 some of it. Extracted in good demand, new 

 crop from the South is arriving now, and finds 

 ready sale at from 6.5c to 90c per gallon, ac- 

 cording to quality. West Indian is arriving 

 freely, and selling at from 73c to 80c per gal- 

 lon, according to quality. No California in 

 the market yet, and do not expect to have any 

 for some time to come. Beeswax steady at 

 30c per pound. 



HILDRETII & SEGELKEN, 

 June 20th. 82 Murray St. 



CHICAGO— There has been practically no 

 sales of comb honey during June. There re- 

 mains unsold very little of the white grade 

 that is suitable for retail purposes. Some lots 

 of amber remain. Neither do we learn of 

 much being done in extracted. The prices will 

 be nominal until the coming of the yield of 

 1911. Beeswax sells at 31 cts. to 32 cts. per 

 pound, if clean and of good color. 



R. A. BURNETT & CO., 

 Tune 19. ]0!) S. Water St. 



CINCINNATI— These are dull times in 

 honey business, no comb honey to offer and 

 no demand. It is a little too early to prog- 

 nosticate the honey crop. We have some 

 1911 crop fancy water white honey which is 

 of the very finest, delicious flavor and color, 

 which we sell in crates of two 60 pound cans 

 at 10c a pound; and amber honev in barrels 

 from 6c to 7c a pound; and for choice, bright 

 yellow beeswa.x free from dirt, we are paying 

 29c cash and 3]c in trade.

 Tune 2,0. 



K.\XS.\S CITY— There is no coml) honey 

 on our market, the crop of 1910 being all 

 cleaned up; receipts of new No. 1 Comb would 

 sell for $3.50 per case of 24 sections, and No. 

 2 stock for 2.5 cents less; amber at $3.00 to 

 $3.2.5. There is some old extracted on the 

 market selling at S"^ to 9 cents for white, 

 amber bringing 7 to 8 cents. Beeswax selling 

 at 25 to 28 cents. 



C. C. CLEMONS PRO. CO., 

 June 19. 



TOLEDO— The market is bare of honey of 

 any description, and no demand at present to 

 speak of. Fancy comb would bring 16c in 

 a small way, and there is some call for ex- 

 tracted ,hut not enough to justify packing as
