HDNEY and BEESWAX 



ItlAKKKX QIJOXATIOIVS. 



The following rules for gradlnif honey were 

 adopted by the North American Bee-Keepers' 

 A=«ot^iatiou, and, so far as possible, quota- 

 tiiMi- are made according to these rules: 



Fa.\(.:y.— All sections to be well filled; comhs 

 straight, of e%'en thickness, and firmly at- 

 tached to all four sides; both wood and comb 

 unsoiled by trayel-staln, 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-stalu or other- 

 wise. 



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. 



Chicag'o, Ills., Aug'. 1.— We quote: Fancy; 

 white clover. Inc.; No. 1 white. 12((^i;ic ; 

 fancy amber. lOOllc: No. 1 amber. 7@Se.- 

 fancy dark, 9@lOc.; No. 1 dark. 7c. Ex- 

 tracted, while, 5@7c. ; amber, oQoi^c. ; dark, 

 4!^05c. Beeswax. 25@'37c. 



The monili closes with some offeriufl's of 

 new comb honey, for which 14-T5c. is asKCd 

 lor best lots— but there are no sales of conse- 

 quence to report. There is usually a good 

 deal of it moved In August, thus establishing 

 the early market. 



Philadelphia, Pa , July 10.— No. 1 amber, 

 9-lOc.; fancy dark, 8-9c.; No. 1 dark, 7-8c. 

 Extracted, white. 8-10 \; amber, h-hVic; 

 dark, 3'/,-4c, Beeswax, 25-26c. 



Honey very dull. Beeswax in fair demand. 



Buftalo. N. Y., July 24.— Fancy comb, 1- 

 pouud, 12-14C.; No. 2, 9-lOc.; No. 3, 4-8c. 

 Extracted, S-.'jc.. as lo quality. It is foUv to 

 ship honey unless properly packed. Good 

 results depend on it and quality. 



Cincinnati, Ohio, July 10.— No. I white. 

 13@14c; fancy amber. l'J@13c; No. 1 amber. 

 10ia>l-c. White, extracted, 5®7c; amber, 5@ 

 6c; dark. 314-5c. Beeswax. 20-i:.'Jc. 



New York, N. Y , June 24th — No demand 

 lor conil) htmey of any kind. New crop of 

 southern extracted is arriving freely, and 

 Sells fairly good at .")0@52c per gallon for 

 common, and .55@H0c per gallon for better 

 grades. Beeswax dull at 26@27c. 



Cleveland, Ohio, July 9— We a uote: Fancy 

 white. 15(^16c.: N<i. I white. 14{^ljc : fancy 

 amber, lOSJllc. Extracted, white, 0@l)i4c.; 

 amber, 4@.")C. Beeswax. 20@2.3c. 



Our market is nearly bare of honey. We 

 think early shipments would meet with ready 

 sales at about quotations. 



St. l^onis, Mo., July 9.— We quote: Fancy 

 white, ll/s(ai2c.; No. 1 white, 10i4@llc.; 

 fancy amber, 10@10V4c.: No. 1 amber. 9@10c.; 

 fancy dark, 8 i/2@9c.; No. 1 dark. 7@8c. Ex- 

 tracted, white, in cans, 5c.; in barrels. 4c. I 

 amber, 3'/4@4c.; dark. 3@344c. Beeswax, 25 

 @25'/2C. 



This week we sold 4.700 pounds of Southern 

 extracted In barrels at 3^c. Honey is in fair 

 demand. Very little fancy new comb coming 

 in, and what has been offered not well cured 

 as yet. 



MinneapoliSfUinn., July 9.— We quote: 

 Fancy white. 15c.: No. 1 white. 13@14c.; fan- 

 cy amber. 10®12c. ; No. 1 amber. 8@10c. ; 

 fancy dark, 7@9c.; No. 1 dark. 8c. Extracted, 

 white. 5?4@6i4c.; amber. o^@5?ic.; dark. 49^ 

 ©S^c. Beeswax, 26(a28c. 



Actual transactions both in comb and ex- 

 tracted very light. Minnesota and Wisconsin 

 comb will commence arriving in moderate 

 quantities about August, and will probably 

 supply the market until cool weather, which 

 .usually stimulates a demand. Considerable 

 extracted Is now here on the spot, sufficient 

 to supply immediate wants. 



San Francisco, Calif., July 22. — White 

 comb. ll-12!4c.; amber, 7^-1 Oc. Extracted, 

 white, 5-5 ^4c.; light amber, 4!4-4-!ic. ; amber 

 colored and candied, 3?.£-4c,; dark tule, 2J^-3c. 



Stocks in this center are small, and a con- 

 siderable proportion of the honey now here is 

 of the crop of 1895. There will be little Cali- 

 fornia honey this season: but with an absence 

 of export demand, supplies may prove ample. 



Beeswax, fair to choice. 22-26c. There is a 

 tolerably wide range in values and a corre- 

 spondingly wide range in the quality of the 

 offerings. 



Milwaukee, Wis., July 13.— No. 1 white, 

 12-13C. ; No. 1 amber, S-lOo. Extracted, 

 white. 7-7V4C. ; amber. 6-6^o. ; dark, 5-6c. 

 Beeswax, 20-24c. 



The supply of honey is not large and nearly 

 all old crop, as the receipts of new are ex- 

 tracted; quality fair. The demand is limited, 

 as the supply of small fruits Is larpe and the 

 consumption of honey is small. The maiket 

 will be in good condition for shipments of the 

 new crop, both comb and extracted, and we 

 look for a good demand later. 



Albany, N, Y., Auff, 1.— Fancy white, 13- 

 14c.; No. 1, 12-i:ic.; No. 1 amber, ll-12c. 

 We have received a number of consignments 

 of new comb honey, mostly white, and a great 

 many letters from producers, asking if they 

 should forward their honey as soon as it was 

 ready. There is but very little demand for 

 honey during hot weather and It creates an 

 unfavorable Impression on the trade to see a 

 large stock of honey standing around. Sep- 

 tember 1 is time enough to forward comb 

 honey. We look lor a large crop of white 

 honey and prices lower than last season. 



Detroit, Mich.; July 13.— No. 1 white, 11- 

 12^c.: fancy amber. 10-llc.; No. 1 amber, 9- 

 lOc; fancy dark. 8-9c.; No. 1 dark, 7-8c. 

 Extracted, white. 6-7c. ; amber, 5-Gc.; dark, 

 5c. Beeswax, 24-25c. 



There is very little old honey on the market 

 that is desirable. New honey will sell slowly 

 in this market until October. 



Indianapolis, Ind., July 28. —Fancy white 

 15-ltic. ; No. I while. 13-14C. Extracted, 

 while, 6-7c. Beesv/ax. 25-27C. 



No demand ;it all for off grades of either 

 comb or extracted honey. Large fruit crop 

 and wiirm weather are opponents to the de- 

 mand for honey at present. 



Boston, Mass., July 15.— Fancy white, 14 

 -15c.: No. 1 white. 12-13C. : fancy amber, 9- 

 10c. Extracted, white. C>-7c. ; amber. 5-6c. 

 Beeswax, 25-26c. 



Fancy new white honey now in stock; de- 

 mand fair. Old stock nearly clOBed out. 



Kansas City, Mo., July 20.— Fancy white 

 cumb. 15c.; No. 1 white, i;i@14c.; fancy 

 amber, 12-I3c. : No. 1 amber. 11-12C. ; fancy 

 dark, lO-llc: No. I. 8-IO0. Extracted, white, 

 6-6V4C.; ».rab<M-, 5 5Hc.; dark. 4-4!4c. Bees- 

 wax, 22-25C.
