HONEY aud BEESWAX 



IVIARKEX QUOXAXIOI^S. 



The following rules for gradlofr honey were 

 adopted by the North Amerloaa 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 thickness, and firmly a.t- 

 tached 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.— AU 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. That is. there will be "fancy 

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



Chicag'o, III., Sept. 8.— Fancy white, 13c.; 

 No. 1, ll@12c. : fancy amber, 9(ai0o.; No. 1, 

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

 white, 5@7c, ; amber. 5®6c. ; dark, 414c. Bees- 

 wax, 25c. 



Comb honey Is beginning to move at these 

 prices, and we look for an active trade from 

 now on. 



Fhiladelpliia, Fa., Ang. 14,— Extracted, 

 white, 8-100.; amber, 4-5c. ; dark, 3-4c. 

 Beeswax, 2oc. 



No new comb in this market yet. Old comb 

 cleaned out. 



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

 12V4C. ; fancy amber, 10-lle.t No. 1 amber, 9- 

 lOc; fancy dark, 8-9c. Extracted, white, oY, 

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

 24-350. 



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

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

 100120. White, extracted, 5@7c; amber, 5® 

 6c; dark, 3i4-5e. Beeswax. 20-25c. 



Indianapolis, Ind., Jnly 28.— Fancy white. 

 lo-16c. ; No. 1 white. 13-14c. Extracted, 

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



No demand at all for off frrades of either 

 comb or extracted honey. Large fruit crop 

 and warm weather are opponents to the de- 

 mand for honey at present. 



St. Iionis, Mo., Auff. 8.— Fancy white, 13® 

 14c.; No. 1 white, I2@12l4c.: fancy amber, 

 ll®ll!4c.; No. 1 amber. 10@lO'/4c.; fancy 

 dark, 8®9c.; No. 1 dark, 7@7J4c. Extracted, 

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

 3@3Hc.; dark. 2J4@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. 



Albany, N. Y., Sept. 8.— Best white, 14c.; 

 buckwheat and mixed grades, 9-1 2e. Ex- 



racted. white. 6!4-7!4c. Beeswax wanted at 

 28-30C. 



The honey market is opening now. Demand 



and receipts are light so far, but we look for 



better demand soon as the weather changes 



c older. Although we do not expect old-fash- 



oned prices, we believe there will be a large 

 consumption at the prevailing prices, and 



hat early market will be the best. Don't 

 hold honey until cold weather, for it don't 

 give Batisfactton to either buyer or seller 

 then. White extracted is wanted now. and 



his is the time to sell it for bottling. Other 

 grades oC extracted are slow yet. 



San Francisco, Calif., Sept. 2, — White 

 comb. lO-llc; amber, 1%-Oc. Extracted, 

 white, 5-5 !4c.; light amber, 4i4-4?ic. ; amber 

 colored and candled, 3?^ -4c ; dark tule, iX-ia. 

 There are moderate quantities of new-crop 

 comb honey otferiag, including some of ex- 

 cellent quality, but no new-crop extracted 

 worth mentioning has yet arrived, and very 



ittle of the latter Is expected this season. 

 The little business in progress is wholly on 



ocal account. 



Beeswax, fair to choice. 22-25c. There is a 

 fair inquiry for such as can be guaranteed 

 strictly pure. Where there is anv suspicion 

 of adulteration, buyers give otferliigs the go- 

 by. 



ITew York, N. Y , Sept. 9. -Fancy white, 

 13c.; No. 1, 12c.; fancy amber, lie; No. 1, 

 lOc; dark. 9c. Beeswax declining; 23@24c. 



s now top price. 

 New crop comb honey is now arriving free- 



y. The demand is fair only, and mostly for 

 small lots of 10 to 25 crates. Some excep- 

 tionally fine lots will probably sell lor a little 

 more. No change in extracted, with plenty of 

 supply. 



Milwaukee, Wis,, Aug'. 8.— Fancy white, 

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

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

 4-5c. 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., Aug. 8. — Fancy 

 white. 12^40.; No. 1 white, 10@llc.; fancy 

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

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

 white. 5!4@6!4e. ; amber, 5@5Hc.; dark. 4® 

 5c. Beeswax, 23®26c. 



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, Aug. 8.— Fancy white, 

 14^@15c. : No. 1 white. 12!4@13c. Extracted, 

 white, 6@7o.; amber, 4 ^@5 14c. Beeswax. 22 

 @25c. 



There is not very much honey in our mar- 

 ket. Selling rather slow. Demand beginning 

 to be a little better. Think trade will be fair 

 In this line this fall. 



Kansas City, Mo., Aug'. 8.— Fancy white 

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

 amber, 10-13c.; No. 1 amber. 11-12C.; fancy 

 dark, 10-llc. ; No. I, 8-lOc. Extracted, white, 

 S-QYtc; amber, 5 5Hc.; dark, 4-4!4c. Bees- 

 wax, 2'2-2oc. 



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

 -15c.; No. 1, 12-l:ic.; 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. 



Buffalo, IT. Y., Sept. 12.— Fancy comb, I- 

 pound, is selling some better, at about 11- 

 12c., and some at lOc; No. 2, 8-9c.; No, 3. 

 etc.. 3-6c. Extracted, 3-6c. 



When fruit Is over we anticipate better 

 honey trade. Our best outlets at moderate 

 prices.

went over there to find what ths troublo 

 was. 



"Trouble enough," said he. "This 

 field is full of bumble-bees, and if you 

 had any spunk you could get the honey." 



That was enough. Visions of sweets 

 were too much for us, and at it we went. 

 Our hats proved a poor thing to fight 

 Bombus with, but we got a nest, and 

 found about a third was honey, the bal- 

 ance brood, and the sealed cells con- 

 tained only brood, or rather that was 

 what our parents told us those white 

 grubs were. 



The next day we were ready for the 

 fray, only we fashioned some bats out of 

 a shingle, and a play-mate joined the 

 party. We soon got a nest, and with the 

 previous day's experience in mind, says 

 I, "Now Tom, as you're the largest, 

 we'll give you the most." Breaking off 

 the unsealed brood, I bit out half the 

 honey, and my brother took the rest and 

 handed him the sealed cells. After eat- 

 ing awhile on that, says Tom, "I don't 

 believe I like this wild honey ; andj so 

 I'll help hunt the bees, but you can have 

 my share.'' W. B. Chapman.

P. S. — Tom got even later, but it was 

 a long while later, and that is another 

 story, anyway.
