HONEY and BEESWAX 



MAKKEX QUOTAXIO.liS. 



The following rules for grading honey were 

 adopted by the North American Bee-Keepers' 

 Association, and, so far as possible, quota- 

 tions are made iiccordlngto 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 trnvel-staln, or otherwise; all the 

 ceils 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.

The demand for the past two weeks has 

 been of lair volume, enabling us 10 close o I 

 receipts promptly. We usimll.\ have the best 

 trade of the year at this time, and i' is also 

 the season when comb honey bears transpor- 

 tation well. 



Philadelphia, Pa , Sept. 30. — Extracted, 

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

 Beeswax, 'oc. 



No new comb in 1 his market yet. Old comb 

 cleaned out.

 1 -He; laucy amber, lO-IIc.l No 1 amber, 9- 

 10c ; fancy dark, 8-9c. Extracted, while, 5V4 

 -6c.: amber, 5-oHc.; dark. 4-.5c. Beeswax.

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

 ) i-loo. ; No. 1 white. 12-1 3c. Extracted, 

 white. 6- 7c. Beeswax, 22-25c. 



Demand is fair for grades quoted, but no 

 demand for inferior grades.

Very little honi y coming In at present, and 

 the weather i- too warm to handle to advan

New York, N. Y , Oct. 9 -Fancy white, 

 12(ai3c ; llgraihs. lu&llc.;bii kwheai. Sffl 

 9c. Extracted is in laii demand at uiiehanged 

 prices. Beeswax is doing a little better, and 

 firm at 24@25c. 



There is a fair demand for fancy white 

 conili honey, while off grades, mixed, and 

 bU'"kwheat are raiher neglected. Keceip s 

 are heavy and stocK accumulating. Sales a^e 

 principally in small lots, and in order to move 

 round q.iantiileH li is necessary to make con- 

 ce sluns from quoiations. 



San Francisco, Calif., Oct. 7. -White 

 comb. 1(U ; ambi r, 7y9-9c. bxiracted, while 

 o-ohic; light amber, 4H-5c ; amber colored 

 and candied. 33^-4'/,c ; dark tuie 25a-3 . 



With light arrivals and lijrht local stocks 

 theie is little chanc. lor pile, s to flu<tuaie'0 

 any material degree In favor ol ihe buviug in- 

 terest. Inquiry Is not active, h<iwever. and 

 mostly local. Prices in lo" Ign ceniers are 

 below the parity ol valuescurrent here. 



Beeswa.x, fair to ch..lc' , 2 '-■ 7c There is 

 no lack of demand lor ch'.ice bright, free from 

 adulteration such oeing in seamy stock. It 

 Is the t xceptlon. however, wheie dark and in- 

 ferior meets with prompt custom. 



Albany. N. Y., Oct. 7, -Fancy white. 12- 

 llic; N0..I. 11-120.. fancy amber, 9-10 .; 

 No. I dark, 8-9t. Kxtracted. white, 6-7c. ; 

 dark. 4-5c 



The receipts of both comb and extracted 

 houey are ver\ large, and pikes are some- 

 wh .1 lower. We have an ample stock of all 

 styes except paper caitous weighing less 

 than a (louiid. 



Boston, Mass , Oct. 9.— Fancy white, l.'J- 

 l4r.; No I. l-12u Kxtracted. while, 6-7c.; 

 amber, o-Oc. Beeswax, 2oc. 



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

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

 4-5c. Beeswax, 22-24C. 



New crop of honey begins to come forward. 

 The demand la very poor and quotations al- 

 most nominal. Weather is very warm and 

 the connumpUon 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. 



MlnneapoIiB, Minn., Sept. 30. — Fancy 

 white, I'i'/ir.; No. 1 white, lOiailc.; fancy 

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

 white. 5i4@6He.: amber, o@5S4c.; dark. 4@ 

 5c. Beeswax, 23f(iJ26c. 



The demand for both comb and extracted is 

 very quiet, and lor the latter, nominal. The 

 hot weather of the past week or so nas checked 

 demand tor comb honey. 



Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 30.— Fancy white, 

 14V4@loc.: No. I white. I2!4®13c. Extracted, 

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

 @25c. 



There is not very much honey in our mar- 

 ket Selling rather slow. Demand beginning 

 to he a little better. Think trade will be fair 

 in this line this fall.
