Honey Quotations, 



The following rules for grading houey were 

 adopted by the North American Bee - Keepers' 

 Association, at its last meeting, and, so far as 

 possible, quotations are made according 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 un 

 pven 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. 



ALBANY, N. Y.— Honey market is quiet as 

 weather is colder. Stocks are not large, but the 

 trade from now ou will be a " piecing out " de- 

 mand. Demand for extracted honey is improv- 

 ing. Beeswax scarce. We quote as follows : 

 Fancy white, 14 to 15 ; No. 1 white, 13 to 14 ; fancy 

 amber, 12 to 13; No. 1 amber, 10 to 11; fancy 

 dark, 10 to 11; No. 1 dark, 9 to 10; white, ex- 

 tracted, 6V^ to 7 ; amber, extracted, 6 to (>}■■>; 

 dark, extracted, 5 to SUi.

 to 12t^ ; fancy dark. 9 to 20 ; No. 1 dark. 8 to 9 :

MINNEAPOLIS, lVIiun.,-Our market quota- 

 tions to-day are very discoui-aging. Prices are 

 very low and our people seem to be baying very 

 light. There can be no encouragement ottered 

 for immediate shipments. However, we feel 

 confident that tlie spring will bring better re- 

 sults. We quote as follows : Fancy white, 16 to 

 17 ; No. 1 white, 14 to 15 ; fancy amber, 13 to 13^2 ; 

 No. 1 amber, 12 to 12i/^; fancy dark, 11; No, 1 

 dark, 10; white extracted, 7 ; amber, extract«d, 

 6; dark, extracted 4)^.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-The demand for comb 

 honey is very light. The market is well stocked 

 and in order to move it in round lots, it wiU be 

 necessary to make liberal concessions from rul 

 ing quotations. We have nothing new to report 

 in extracted. The supply is large and demand 

 limited. Beeswax is in good demand. We 

 quote as follows : Fancy white, 12 to 13; No. I 

 white, 11 to 12; fancy amber, 10 to 11 ; fancy 

 dark 9 to 10; No. 1 dark, 9; white, extracted, 6 

 to 6;}4; amber, extracted, 514 to 6; dark, ex- 

 tracted, 5 to 5'.: Beeswax, 31 to 32.
