Honey Column. 



CITY MARKETS. 

 The quotations in this column are hased, as nearly 

 as possible, on the grading adopted by the North 

 American, and are the prices that the commission 

 men get, and on which the commission for making 

 the sales is ligured. The grading rules referred to 

 are as follows: 



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 to 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 classified according to 

 color, using the terms white, amber, and dark. That is, there 

 will be " fancy white," " No. 1 dark," etc. 



Dealers are expected to quote only those grades and classifi- 

 cations to be found in their market. 



Cleveland.— Honfv.— Fancy white. 14@15; No. 1 

 white, 12@13; extracted, white, 6%@6i2; amber, 4@5. 

 Beeswax, 32@2.5c. Honey beginning to move a little 

 more freely. I think by the first of next month 

 the trade will be fairly good.

 2.3@2.5. Comb honey has shown better demand and is 

 inquired for, but at low range of prices. Extracted 

 has moved somewhat during the past few days, but 

 the general market is very quiet and dull.

 tracted, 6@7; amber, 5@6; dark, 4@.5. Receipts of 

 comb honey are large, and demand good. Stock 

 put up in nice paper cartons sells the best. Unless 

 we get some outlet in sections of the country where 

 the crop is short, prices will rule lower tlian last sea- 

 son, Chas. McCulloch & Co..

 white, 12@13; No. 1, amber, 10@11: white, extracted, 

 6@7; amber, .5@6; dark, 4®5; beeswax, 30@23. The 

 receipts of crop of new honey are coming forward 

 and of variable quality. Some, however, is very 

 fine indeed. The demand has not been very brisk. 

 Indeed, it seems to drag; yet, as the season advanc- 

 es, it will sell, and shippers can be assured this mar- 

 ket will give as good results as any ; and it is our aim 

 to protect our shippers' interests the best we can.
