Fancy.— All sections to be well filled, combs straight, firm- 

 ly attached to all four sides, the combs unsoiled by travel- 

 stain or otherwise ; all the cells sealed except an occasional 

 cell, the outside surface of the wood well scraped of propolis. 



A No. 1.— All sections well filled except the row of cells 

 next to the wood ; combs straight ; one-eighth part of comb 

 surface soiled, or the entire surface slightly soiled ; the out- 

 side of the wood well scraped of propolis. 



No. ].— All sections well filled except the row of cells next 

 to the wood ; combs comparatively even ; one-eighth part of 

 comb surface soiled, or the entire surface slightly soiled. 



No. '2.— Three-fourths of the total surface must be filled 

 and sealed. . 



No. 3.— Must weigh at least half as much as a full-weight 

 section. 



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. 



C/TV MAR/sr£TS. 

 Boston.— Our honey-market is wholly normal, the 

 demand being extremely light. Fancy 1-lb. white in 

 cartons bringing 15c and from that down to 13c, ac- 

 cording to quality. Blake, Scott & Lee. 

 ^ July 8. 31, 33 Commercial St., Boston, Mass. 



Chicago. — The honey market may be said to be on 

 a vacation so far as actual business is concerned. 

 Should the harvest of 1902 be practically a failure 

 there will be no dearth of extracted honey, as there is 

 more of it in storage than we have ever known at this 

 .season of the year. If the consumers are not too 

 greatly impressed with the idea that the honey harvest 

 is a failure this season it may be worked off at an ad- 

 vance in price. Beeswax is lower, yet sells well at 30c 

 per pound. R. A. Burnett & Co., 



July 7. 199 South Water St., Chicago, 111. 



Milwaukee. — The usual summer dullness is on in 

 the honey trade, the aciduous in the shape of fruits 

 attracting the eye and taste more than the sweets. The 

 demand for honey, either comb or extracted, is con- 

 fined to small lots as needed by the retail trade. The 

 supply is small, especially of choice or fancy comb and 

 dome.stic extracted. The receipts are very small. We 

 continue to quote: Fancj', 1-lb. sections, 14® 15; A No. 

 1, 13fffil4; dark or inferior, nominal, 10'S)12. Extracted, 

 in bbls., kegs, or cans, white, 6(3)7; dark. 5(3)6. 



A. V. Bishop & Co.. 



July 11. 119 Buffalo St., Milwaukee, Wis. 



Philadelphia. — Some new comb honey has been 

 arriving, and prices are not settled yet. We are a.sk- 

 ing 14 to 16c, as to quality, for white comb. California 

 extracted honey, 6c in carlots, and from one to two 

 cents advance in less quantities. Beeswax 28c. We 

 are producers of honey, and do not handle on com- 

 mission. Wm. a. Selser, 



July 7. 10 Vine St., Philadelphia, Pa. 



Buffalo.— Fancy white comb, 14(^15; A No. 1, 13® 

 14 ; No. 1, 12^@13; No. 2, 11(S).12; No. 3, 10@11; No. 1 

 dark, 10(a>ll; No. 2, 9(a),W. Extracted white, (i@6]4 : 

 dark, 5@^^. Beeswax, 28@32. Hardly any demand 

 for honey. W C. Townsend, 



July 7. 167 Scott St., Buffalo, N. Y. 



San Francisco.— Comb honey, \0(cb,l2. Extracted, 

 water-white, 5^f3;6i^ ; light amber, 4@5^ ; dark, 4@5. 

 Beeswax, 27^@30. E. H. Schaeffle, 



June 27. Murphys, Calif. 



Cincinnati.— The shipments and offers on new 

 comb honey are so little, besides the predictions for 

 the j-ield of honey so uncertain that I can give no 

 figures for prices. Extracted is selling for the same 

 price— amber in barrels, 5@5Hc; alfalfa, 6@6'/^c; white 

 clover, 6J4c. I am paying for beeswax 28c cash.

Albany.— Honev market dull, with no stock on 

 hand and no receipts yet. Too early— is between sea-
