HONEY and BEESWAX 



iVlAKKEX <HJO'rATIO!\S. 



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 the terms white, 

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

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



Chicago, 111., Oct. 20.— Fancy white, 13® 

 13c.; No. 1, ll@llV4o.; fancy amber, lOc; 

 No. 1 .9c.; fancy dark, 9c.; No. 1, 7<a>Sc. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 5@7c. ; amber. o@6c. ; dark, 

 4'/5@5c. Beeswax, 2.5c. 



Receipts liberal ; demand limited for all 

 kinds. 



Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. 17.— Choice white 

 comb, 12@14c.! dark grades, 8@12c. Ex- 

 tracted, 4(§l6c.. according to quality. Demand 

 Is slow for all kinds of honey. Prices too low. 



Beeswax is in uood demand at 20@2oc. for 

 good to choice yellow. 



Philadelphia, Fa., Sept. 30,— Extracted, 

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

 Beeswax, 25c. 



No new comb in this market yet. Old comb 

 cleaned out. 



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

 12V4C.; fancy amber, 10-llc.i No. 1 amber, 9- 

 lOc; fancy dark, 8-9c. Extracted, white, 5i4 

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

 24-25C. 



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

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

 white, 6-7c. Beesv/ax, 22-25C. 



Demand is fair for grades quoted, but no 

 demand for inferior grades. 



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

 (ai4c. ; No. 1 white, I2@13!4c. ; fancy amber, 

 ll@ll!4c.: No. 1 amber. 10O10!4c.; fancy 

 dark, 8(89c. ; No. 1 dark, 7@7V4c. Extracted, 

 white, in cans, 5c. ; in barrels, 4(8i4 14c. ; amber, 

 :i®3y,c.; dark, 2/2(3130. 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. 



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

 12(ai3c.; ufl' grades. 10@llc.; buckwheat. 8(3 

 9c. Extracted is in fair demand at unchanged 

 prices. Beeswax Is doing a little better, and 

 firm at 24(a25c. 



There Is a fair demand for fancy white 

 comb honey, while off grades, mixed, and 

 buckwheat are rather neglected. Receipts 

 are heavy and stoCK accumulating. Sales are 

 principally In small lots, and In order to move 

 round quantities it is necessary to make con- 

 cessions from quotations. 



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

 comb. 10c. ; amber, 7i4-9c. Extracted, white 

 5-5/jC. ; light amber, 4V4-5C. ; amber colored 

 and candled. 39i-4^ic.; dark lule, 2%-:ic. 



With light arrivals and light local stocks 

 there is little chance tor prices to fluctuate to 

 any material degree in favor of the buying in- 

 terest. Inquiry Is not active, however, and 

 mostly local. Prices In foreign centers are 

 below the parity of values current here. 



Beeswax, fair to choice, 24-2To. There Is 

 no lack of demand lor choice bright, free from 

 adulteration, such being In scanty stock. It 

 is the exception, however, where dark and In- 

 ferior meets with prompt custom. 



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

 i:ic.; No. 1, 11-12C.; fancy amber, 9-10o.; 

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

 dark. 4-5c. 



The receipts of both comb and extracted 

 honey are very large, and prices are some- 

 what lower. We have an ample stock of all 

 styles except paper cartons weighing less 

 than a pound. 



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

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

 white, 12^0.; No. 1 white, 10(ailc.; fancy 

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

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

 white. 5H@6!4c.; amber, 5@5V4o.; dark. 4® 

 oc. Beeswax, 23®26c. 



The demand foi'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, 

 14i4@15c.; No. 1 white. 12!4@13c. Extracted, 

 white, 6@7c.; amber, 4 !4®5 V4c. 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., Sept. 30.— Fancy white 

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

 amber, 12-13c.; No. 1 amber, ll-12c.; fancy 

 dark, lO-Hc; No. 1, 8-IO0. Extracted, white, 

 6-6)4c.; amber, 5-5V4C.; dark, 4-4V4o. Bees- 

 wax, 22-25c. 



Buffalo, IT. Y., Oct. 19.— Fancy comb, 1- 

 pound, 12-13C., occasionally 14c.; No. 2, 8- 

 10c, ; No, 3, 4-7c. Extracted, 4-5c. 



Demand better, and quite a consumptive 



trade now. 



Boston, Mass., Oct. 9.— Fancy white, 13 

 14c.; No. 1, 11-12C. Extracted, white, 6-7c.; 

 amber, 5-6c. Beeswax, 2oc.
