THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



321 



Honey Quotations 



The following rules for grading honey were 

 adopted 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. 



CHICAGO— There has been a good trade in 

 honey during the past two weeks and the re- 

 ceipts are quite heavy. Prices remain at 17c 

 to 18c for fancy, and from Ic to 2c less for 

 the No. 1 grades. Amber is in large supply 

 and difficult to sell, ranging at from 12c to 15c 

 per lb. Extracted white 8c to 9c per lb., am- 

 ber 7c to 8c per lb. according to kind and 

 quality. Beeswajc is steady at 31c to 32c 

 per lb. R. A. BURNETT & CO..

DEN\'ER — Warm weather and an abund- 

 ance of fruit has had a depressing influence 

 on the local honey market and for that matter 

 also on the carload business. We are quoting 

 our local market in a jobbing way as follows: 

 No. 1 White comb, per case of 24 sections, 

 $3.15; No. 1 Light Amber $2.92, and No. 2, 

 $2.70; White extracted. 9-lOc; light amber, 

 8-9c; amber strained, iVzc. We are paying 

 25c cash and 2~c in trade for clean yellow 

 beeswax delivered here.

TOLEDO — There is not much change since 

 our last quotations, except that the demand for 

 honey both comb and extracts has increased, 

 and will as the season advances, as the fruit 

 is about gone, and honey will sell well until 

 about Dec. 1st, but the shipments are coming 

 forward niore freely and are equal to the de- 

 mand, owing to the prevailing prices, sales are 

 made in a retail way as follows: No. 1 to 

 Fancy White ISc, very little to be had; Light 

 Amber. 15c to 16c; No. 2 grades of White 

 bring from 16c to 17c per lb.; no demand for 

 dark grades. Beeswax is steady at from 30 

 to 33 cents. Extracted is in good demand and 

 white honey sells at 10c per lb. Amber and 

 off grades sell at from 7^ to 8^c.

NEW YORK— The demand for comb honey 

 is good, especially for all grades of white. Re- 

 ceipts, however, on account of the short crop 

 are rather light. We quote: fancy white, at 

 from 16c to 17c per pound; No. 1 at from 14c 

 to 15c per pound; No. 2 at 13c per pound; 

 mixed and buckwheat at from 10c to lie per 

 pound. EXTRACTED also in good demand, 

 especially the lighter grades. We quote: Cali- 

 fornia water white at 10c per pound; white at 

 from 9c to 9^c per pound; light amber at 

 from 8c to 8^c per pound; white clover and 

 basswood at from 9c to 9^c per pound; buck- 

 wheat, 75^c per pound. 



Beeswax quiet at 30c per pound.

CINCINNATI— There is considerable honey 

 coming in. Strictly fancy comb honey is sell- 

 ing from 16 ^c to 18c. Amber Comb Honey 

 is a detriment to tlie honey business, and we 

 discourage its sale for the reason buyers buy 

 it just because of price and are unconscious 

 of the great harm they are doing to the trade 

 in geenral. Extracted honey is plentiful, while 

 the price holds up pretty well, there is a world 

 of it to be bought. We are selling amber ex- 

 tracted honey from 6c to lyic according to the 

 quality and quantity purchased, and for strictly 

 fancy water white fancy table honey, 10c and 

 lie per pound. We are paying from 28c to 

 30c per pound for bright yellow beeswax de- 

 livered here.
