HONEY and BEESWAX 



IMARUeX QIJOXAXIOI^S. 



The following rules for grading honey were 

 adopted by the North American Bee-Keepers' 

 Association, and, eo 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 the terms white, 

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

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



Chicag-o, 111. , Sept. 30.— Fancy white, 13c. ; 

 No. 1, l-ic; fancy amber, 9<ailc.; No. 1, 8@ 

 9c.; fancy dark. 8@10c.; No. 1, 8c. Extracted, 

 white, 5@7c. ; amber, 5@6c.; dark, 4^@5c. 

 Beeswax, 24@25c. 



The sales of best grades of comb honey are 

 now assuming more volume, and most sales 

 are at 13. 12S4, and 1.3c. All of the shipments 

 that show care in preparation for transporta- 

 tion are arriving in good order. The market 

 is also 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., Sept. 30.— Extracted, 

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

 Beeswax, 2oc. 



No new comb in this market yet. Old comb 

 cleaned out. 



Detroit, Uich.; Sept. 30.— No. 1 white, 12- 

 \1'Ac.\ fancy amber, 10-llc.; No. 1 amber, 9- 

 3 0c. ; fancy dark, 8-9c. Extracted, white, 5 >4 

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

 24-25C. 



Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 3.— Fancy white. 

 14-loc.; No. 1 white, 12-13c. Extracted, 

 white, 6-7c. Beeswax. 22-2dc. 



Demand is fair for grades quoted, but no 

 demand for Inferior grades. 



St. Louis, Mo., Sept. 30.— Fancy white, 13 

 @l4c.; No. 1 white, i2<ai3Vic. ; fancy amber, 

 ll@llV5c.; No. 1 amber. 10@10!4e.; fancy 

 dark, 8@9c. ; No. 1 dark, 7®7!4c. Extracted, 

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

 3@3Wc.; dark, 2!4(a3c. 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, Ht. Y., Sept.'SO.- Fancy white, 13- 

 14c.; No. 1. 12-13C.; fancy amber, 10-1 Ic; 

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

 dark, 5c. 



With cooler weather there is an increasing 

 demand for comb honey, and stock 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. 30 —Fancy white, 

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

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

 8 now top price. 



New crop comb honey is now arriving free- 

 ly. The demand Is fair only, and mostly for 

 small lots of 10 to 25 crates. Some excep- 

 tionally fine lots will probably sell for a little 

 more. No change in extracted, with plenty of 

 supply. 



San Francisco, Calif., Sept. 23,— White 

 comb. 10c. ; amber, 7!4-0c. Extracted, white, 

 5-5ir4o.; light amber, 4 14-4 ^c; amber colored 

 and candled, 3Ji— Ic ; dark tule, 3;i-3c. 



Not much new crop honey on market, and 

 not likely to he the current season. At the 

 rates prevailing, however, the demand is 

 somewhat limited and almost wholly local. 

 Stocks of 1895 crop in the hands of the whole- 

 sale and jobbing trade are almost exhausted. 

 Most of the extracted of this year's yield has 

 been forwarded East from the interior. 



Beeswax, fair to choice, 23-26c. No change 

 to note in values. For choice to select the 

 market is moderately firm at the prevailing 

 rates. 



OMilwaukee, Wis., Sept. 30.— Fancy white, 

 14-15C.; No. 1, 12-13C.; No. 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 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,, Sept. 30. — Fancy 



white. 1314c.; No. 1 white. lOOllc; fancy 

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

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

 white, 5^(8)6^0.; amber, 5@5i4o.; dark. 4@ 

 5c. Beeswax, 33('dl3Gu. 



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, Sept. 30.— Fancy white, 

 14^4@15c.; No. 1 white. i2y4@13c. Extracted, 

 white. 6@7c.; amber. 4!4@5!4c. Beeswax, 22 

 @3.5e. 



There Is not very much honey In our mar- 

 ket Selling rather Blow. Demand beginning 

 to be a little better. Think trade will be fair 

 in this line this fall. 



Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 30.— Fancy white 

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

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

 dark. 10-llc. ; No. 1, 8-lOc. Extracted, white, 

 6-6!4c.; amber, b b%c.; dark. 4-4!4c. Bees- 

 wax, 22-25C 



Boston, Mass., Sept. 30.— Fancy white, 14 

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

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

 wax. 25c. 



Good supply of new honey, but demand is 

 light this very hot weather, 



Buffalo, H. Y., Sept. 30.— Failcy comb, I- 

 pound, mostly r2c., occasionally 13-1 4c. ; No. 

 No. 2, 8-lOc.; No. 3. 4-7c. Extracted. 4-5c. 



Demand grows better as fruit decreases.

Warner's Sale Core.- For the past half 

 dozen years Warner's Safe Cure has not been 

 advertised in the agricultural press, the city 

 papers having been exclusively used. The 

 Company manufacturing the old and reliable 

 kidney and liver medicine have, however, 

 come to the conclusion that the agricul- 

 tural paper is read more thoroughly than the 

 city daily, and better results can be obtained 

 by returning to it. ' In this they are correct, 

 and we hope our readers will prove It to them 

 by reading the new advertisement of the War- 

 ner's Safe Cure Co. which will be found In an- 

 other column of this payer, and acting on the 

 advice there given. 



Bee-Keepers' Pliotograph.— We 



have now on hand a limited number of ex- 

 cellent photographs of prominent bee-keep- 

 ers—a number of pictures on one card. The 

 likeness of 49 of them are shown on one of 

 the photographs, and 121 on the other. We 

 will send them, postpaid, for 30 cents each, 

 mailing from the 131 kind first; then after 

 they are all gone, we will send the 49 kind. 

 So those who order first will get the most 

 " faces " for their money. Send orders to 

 the Bee Journal office. 



Please Send XTs the Xames of your 

 neighbors who keep bees, and we will 

 send them sample copies of the Bee 

 JouKNAL, Then please call upon them 

 and get them to subscribe with you, and 

 secure some of the premiums we offer.
