HONEY and BEESWAX 



MARKET QUOXAXIOmS. 



The following rules for grading honey were 

 adopted by the North American Bee-Keepers' 

 Association, and, so far as possible, quota- 

 tions are made according to these rules: 



Fancy.— All sections to be well filled; combs 

 straight, of even thicliness, and firmly at- 

 tached to all four sides; both wood and comb 

 unsoiled by trivel-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 other- 

 wise. 



In addition to this the honey Is to be classi- 

 fied according to color, using the terms white, 

 amber and dark. Ttiat is. there will be "fancy 

 white," "No. 1 dark," etc. 



Chicago, Ills., Ads'. 1.— We quote: Fancy: 

 white ciover. 15c.; No. 1 white, 12@13c.; 

 fancy amber, 10@llc. : No. f amber. T@9c.- 

 fancy dark, 9@10c. ; No. 1 dark. 7c. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 5@7c.: amber, 5@o^c.; dark. 

 4!4@3c. Beeswax. 25@'27c. 



The month closes with some offerings of 

 new comb honey, for which 14-15c. is asKed 

 for best lots — bat ttiere are no sales of conse- 

 quence to report. There Is usually a good 

 deal of it moved in August, thus establishing 

 the earlv market. 



Philadelphia, Fa., An?. 14,— Extracted, 

 white. 8-lOj.; amber, 4-5c.; dark, 3-lc. 

 Beeswax, 23c. 



No new comb in this market yet. Old comb 

 cleaned out. 



Buffalo, N, T.iJnly 24.— Fancy comb, 1- 

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

 Extracted, 3-3c.. as to quality. It is folly to 

 ship honey unless properly packed. Good 

 results depend on it and quality. 



Cincinnati, Ohio, July 10.— No. 1 white. 

 13@14c: fancy amber. 12@13c; No. 1 amber. 

 10@12c. White, extracted, 5®7c; amber, 5@ 

 6c; dark, 3'/4-oc. Beeswax. 20-25C. 



Albany, TSt. Y., Aug. 1.— Fancy white. 13- 

 14c.: No. 1, 12-13C.; 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 

 boney during hot weather and it creates an 

 unfavorable Impression on the trade to see a 

 large stock of noney standing around. Sep- 

 tember 1 is time enough to forward comb 

 honey. We look for a large crop of white 

 honey and prices lower than last season. 



Indianapolis, Ind. , Jnly 28.— Fancy wh i te 

 15-16C. : No. 1 white. i:)-14c. Extracted, 

 white. 6-7c. Beesv/ax. 25-27c. 



No demand at all for oif grades of either 

 comb or extracted honey. Large fruit crop 

 and warm weather are opponents to the de- 

 mand for honey at present. 



Kew York, N. Y , Aug'. 8.— No. 1 white, 12 

 ®13c.; fancy amber. Iiai2c.: No. 1, 10@llc. 

 Extracted, white. oV^^o^^c; amber. 5c.: dark. 

 50c. per gallon. Beeswax. 25c. 



Our market has not opened upas yet and 

 we would not advise shippiug comb honey be- 

 fore Sept. 1. or latter part of this month. 

 Extracted is selling fairly well at prices 

 quoted. Beeswax verydull and declining. 



St. IiOTiis, Mo., Aug'. 8— Fancy white, 13® 

 14c.; No. 1 white, 1.2@l2!4c.: fancy amber, 

 ll@lli4c.: No. \ amber. lOOlOHe.: fancy 

 dark, S@9c. ; No. 1 dark. 7@7!4c. Extracted, 

 white, In cans. 5c.: in barrels. 4@4^c. : amber, 

 3@3V4c.; dark. 2'/4@3c. Beeswax, 19@20c. 



Very little honey coming In at present, and 

 the weather Is too warm to handle to advan- 

 tage if It were here. 



San Francisco, Calif., Aug. 12.— White 

 comb. ll-12^c.; amber, 714-lOc. Extracted, 

 white, 0-5 14c.; light amber, 4^-4?4C. ; amber 

 colored and candled. :!?l-4c ; dark tuie, 2?4-3c. 



Not much lioney on market, either new or 

 old. The crop on this coast is exceedingly 

 light, and a large portion of it has already 

 passed into second hands. Market Is firm at 

 the quotations, but busiaess is confined 

 wholly to small transfers on local account. 



Beeswax, fair to choice. 22-25c. Stocks are 

 light. While demand is not active, desirable 

 qualities can be readily placed at current 

 rates. 



Uil-wankee, 'Wis., Aug'. 8,— Fancy white 

 14-15C.; No. 1, 12-13C.; No. 1 amber. 8-lOc 

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

 4-5o. Beeswax. 22-24c. 



New crop of honey begins to come forward 

 The demand is very poor and quotations al 

 most nominal. Weather Is very warm and 

 the consumption of honey Is very small 

 Plenty of fruit, and hence the appetite is sat' 

 isfied with same in preference. Later on we 

 expect an Improved demand for honey of all 

 kinds. 



Minneapolis, Minn., Aaff. 8. — Fancy 

 white. 12!4c.; No. 1 white, lOaUc; fancy 

 amber. 9@10c.: No. 1 amber. 8@9c.; fancy 

 dark, 7@8c.; No. 1 dark. 6-8c. Extracted, 

 white. o!4@6Hc. : amber, 5@5^c. ; dark. 4@ 

 5c. Beeswax, 23dJ26c. 



The demand for both comb and extracted Is 

 very quiet, and for the latter, nominal. The 

 hot weather of the past week or so has checked 

 demand for comb honey. 



Cleveland. Ohio, Ang. 8.— Fancy white, 

 14i4@15c.; No. I white. 12!4@13o. Extracted, 

 white. 6@7c.; amber, 4i4@oiic. Beeswax. 22 

 @25c. 



There Is not very much honey in our mar- 

 ket Selling rather slow. Demand heginniag 

 to be a little better. Think trade will be fair 

 in this line this fall. 



Kansas City, Mo., Aasr. 8.— Fancy white 

 comb. 15c. ; No. 1 white, 13@14c.; fancy 

 amber. 12-13c.: No. 1 amijer. ll-l'Jc; fancy 

 dark, lO-llc: No. 1, 8-IO0. Extracted, white. 

 6-6i4e.; amber, 5 5!4c. ; dark. 4-4!4c. Bees- 

 wax, 22-25C 



Boston, Mass., Aug'. 10,— Fancy white. 14 

 -15c. ; No. 1, 12-iyc.; fancy amber, 9-lOc. 

 Extracted, white, 6-7c. ; amber, 5-6c. Bees- 

 wax. 25c. 



Good supply of new honey, but demand is 

 light this very hot weather, 



Detroit, Mich.; Aug. 8.— No. 1 white, 12- 

 12'/4c.: fancy amber, lu-llc.l No. 1 amber. 9- 

 10c. ; fancy dark, 8-9c. Extracted, white, 5^ 

 -6c.; amber, 5-5 i^c.; dark. 4-.5c. Beeswax,
