:nARKi:x quotations. 



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 thickness, and firmly at- 

 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.— 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 tbe terms white, 

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

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



Chicago, 111., Sept 18.— Fancy white, \3c ; 

 No. 1, l;c.; tant-v amber, 9@llc.; No. 1, 8® 

 9o ; laiicy dark. SfaiOc : No. I, 8c. Extracted, 

 white. 5@7c. : amber. 5@6c.; dark, 4H@oc. 

 Beeswax, 24{§)?5c. 



The sales <»t best grades of comb honey are 

 now assuming T*>ore volume, and most sales 

 are at 12. 12V4. and I'ic. All ol the shipments 

 that show c-irn in preparation for transpona- 

 tlou are arriving in go'id order. The market 

 is aI^o bare of dark comb honey, and there is 

 a demand for it which anyone having a sup- 

 ply should take advantage of by shipping 

 now. 



Philadelphia, Pa-, Ang-. 14,— Extracted, 

 white. 8-10-.; amber, 4-5c.; dark, 3-lc. 

 Beeswax, 25c. 



No new comb in this market yet. Old comb 

 cleaned out. 



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

 12V4C.; fancy aiuber, lO-llc: No 1 amber. 9- 

 10c. ; fancy dark, 8-9c. Extracted, whire. 5>i 

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

 24-25 c. 



Indianapolis, Ind,, Jnly 28.— Fancy white 

 15-ibc.; No. I white. 13-I4C. Extracted, 

 white. 6-7c. Beeswax. 25-27c. 



No demand at all for off grades of either 

 comb or extracted honey. Large fruit crop 

 and warm Weal her are opponents to the de- 

 mand for honey at present. 



St. £onis. Mo,, Atig. 8.— Fancy white, l.'i® 

 I4c.; No. 1 white, L2®l2Hc. ; fancy amber, 

 ll@ll^c.: No 1 amber. lnQlOHc; fancy 

 dark, 8(gi9c. ; No. 1 dark, 7@7 14c. Extracted, 

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

 •3@:iV4c.; dark. 2!4'a:!c. Beeswax, ISQaOc. 



Very little honey coming in at present, and 

 the weather it* too warm to handle to advan- 

 tage if it were here. 



Albany, N. Y., Sept. 19.— Fancy white, 13- 

 14c.; Nil. 1. 12-13C.; fancy amher, lO-I In.; 

 No. 1 dark, 8-9c. Extracted, white, 6-7c. ; 

 dark, 5c. 



With cooler weai her there is an Increasing 

 demand for comb h mey, and slock is moving 

 off freely. There Is but very little demand 

 for extracted, except fancy white put up In 

 glass jars. 



New York, N. Y , Sept. 9— Fancy white. 

 13c.; No. 1. 12c.: laucy amber, lie: No. 1. 

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

 8 now top price. 



New crop comb hon^y is now arriving free- 

 ly. The demand is fair only, and mo^ily for 

 small lot' of 10 to 25 crates, ^ome excep- 

 tionally fine lots will probably sell for a Utile 

 more No change in extracted, with plenty of 

 supply. 



San Francisco, Calif., Sept. 8. — White 

 comb. lOe ; amber, 7H-9c. hxtracted, while, 

 5-5HC.; light amber, 4H-4^p ; amber colored 

 and candled. .'iJi-4c ; dark tule. 2Ji-3 •. 



Supplies In this center are of limited vol- 

 ume, and are composed mainly ol last sea- 

 son's extracted, in cooneciiun with a little of 

 this years comb. Business is slow. P ices 

 are too high fur any export trade, and veiy 

 little is required to satisfy the local demaud. 



Beeswax, fair to cholc.*, 2;i-,6c. Sales «re 

 not numernus, nor do they aggregate anj* 

 large quantity. Market is moderatelj' firm 

 for stri.ily choice light colored, but where 

 the quality is faulty, uuyers are not readily 

 found. 



Uilwatikee, Wis., Aug. 8.— Fancy white, 

 14-I5C.; No. 1, 12-i:!c.; l5o. 1 amber, 8-lOc. 

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

 4-5c. Beeswax. 32-24c. 



New crop of honey begins to come forward. 

 The demand is very poor and quotations al- 

 most nominal. Weather Is very warm and 

 the cont-umption 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>4c.; No. 1 white, lOtailc; fancy 

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

 dark, 7<88c.; No. 1 dark. 6-8c. Extracted, 

 white. 5>4@6Hc.: amber, 5@5i4c.; dark. 4ia 

 5c. Beeswax, 23(iJ26c. 



The demand for both comb and extracted is 

 very quiet, and tor the latter, nominal. The 

 hot weather of the past week or so has checked 

 demand for comb honey. 



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

 14i4@15c.; No. I white. 12^@13c. Extracted, 

 white. 6ia7c.; amber. 4>405^c. Beeswax, 22 

 @25c. 



There is not very much honey in our mar- 

 ket Selling rather Blow. Demand beginning 

 to he a little belter. Think trade will be fair 

 in this line this tall.
