Honey Quotations 



Tlie following rules for grading honey were 

 ailopted by the North American Bee-Keepers' 

 Association, at the Wasliington meeting, and, 

 so far as possible, quotations are maile 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. — .Ml 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 white comb honey. 15c to 

 ]0c; No. 1, 14c to loc; white extracted, 12c; 

 Beeswax, 30c.

NFAV YORK CUY.—Comh Honey: Last 

 year's croji of white is well cleaned up but 

 considerable buckwheat, amber and mixed is 

 still unsold and the demand for these grades 

 is next to nothing. We received some small 

 shipments of new crop white from the South, 

 which finds ready sale at from 13c to 1.5c lb., 

 according to quality. 



Extracted Honey: Demand good. Arrivals 

 are quite heavy from the South and same is 

 selling at from C.jc to 00c jier gallon, accord- 

 ing to quality. No new crop California or 

 nearby on the market as yet. Beeswax quiet 

 at 30c lb.

CIIIC-\CO. — The new honey is beginning to 

 arrive on sale. A little fancy comb has sold 

 at 18c per pound, and judging from the re- 

 ports that reach this market it will probably 

 command a range of 17c to ISc, beginning 

 with .August month. Extracted white ranges 

 from 8c to 9c, according to kind and quality; 

 all white clover (if ripe) brings i)c; amber 

 grades of good flavor bring 8c; less desirable, 

 7c to Tyic. Beeswax is ruling steady at 31c 

 to 32c for prime grades and sells upon arrival.

C. C. CLEMONS PRO. CO., 



lOLEDO.— Ihere is no new honev being 

 oftered as yet, and very little demand for 

 same. New white clover comb honey would 

 bnng ICc to 17c per pound in a retail wav. 

 Ihere is some demand for extracted honey, 

 but owing to prices asked it will move slow. 

 However, as soon as the berries are gone and 

 the larger producers get their crop ready for 

 market, there will be a better demand and 

 prices will decline somewhat. Beeswax is 

 quiet and brings from 2Sc to 32c, depending 

 on the grade.
