HONEYand BEESWAX 



The following rules for grading honey were 

 adopted by the North American Bee-Keepers' 

 Association, and, so far as possible, quota- 

 tions are made SiccorUing 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 truvel-stain, or otherwise; all the 

 cells sealed Cicept 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 classl- 

 fled according to color, using the terms white, 

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

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



Chicag-o, 111., Oct. 20.— Fancy white. 1-2® 

 IHc; No. 1, ll@imc.: fancy amber, 10c. ; 

 No. 1 .9c.; laucy dark, 9c.; No. 1, 7(a8c. Ex- 

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

 4i'3@oc. Beeswax, 2oc. 



Keceipts liberal ; demand limited for all 

 kinds. 



Philadelphia, Pa., Oct. 30.— Fancy white 

 comb, 1S-14C ; No. 1 white. 11-120.; fancy 

 amber. 10-1 Ic; dark. 8-9c. Extracted, white, 

 6-8e. ; amber, 4-5c.; dark, 3-!c. Beeswax, 26c. 



Comb hone.v arriving freely and market 

 overstocked at present. 



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

 121ic.; fancy amber, 10-llc.l No. 1 amber, 9- 

 10c. ; fancy dark, 8-9c. Extracted, white, 5 J4 

 -6c.; amber, 5-5V4c. ; dark. 4-.5c. Beeswax, 

 24-25C. 



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

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

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



Demand Is fair for grades quoted, but no 

 demand for inferior grades. 



St. I^ouis, Mo., Sept. 30.— Fancy white, 13 

 @14c.; No. 1 white, i2@13V4c.; fancy amber, 

 ll@ll!4c.: No. I amber. 10@10i/4c.; fancy 

 dark. 8@9c.; No. 1 dark, 7@7i/^c. Extracted, 

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

 3@3Hc.; dark. 2i4(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. 



Hew York, TSI. Y , Oct. 9.— Fancy white. 

 12<ai3c.; off grades. lOQllc; buckwheat. S@ 

 9e. Extracted is in fair demand at unchanged 

 prices. Beeswax is doing a little better, and 

 firm at 24@2oc. 



There is a fair demand for fancy white 

 comb honey, while off grades, mixed, and 

 buckwheat are rather neglected. Keceipts 

 are heavy and stocn accumulating. Sales are 

 principally in small lots, and in order to move 

 round quantities it is necessary to make con- 

 cessions from quotations. 



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

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

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

 dark. 4-oc. 



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. 



Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. 27.— Comb honey 

 ]0@14c., according to quality. Evtraoted, 3^ 

 @6c. Demand Is slow for all kinds of honey, 

 while the supply is good. 



Beeswax is in good demand at 20@25e. for 

 good to choice yellow. 



San Francisco, Calif., Oct. 21. — White 

 comb. 10c. ; amber, 7!4-9c. Kxtracted, while, 

 5-5!4c. ; light amber, 4i4-3c. ; amber colored 

 and candled. 35i-4V4c,; dark tule. 2?4-3c. 



Beeswax, fair to choice, 24-27c. 



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

 14ii@l,5c.; No. I white. KJi4@l3c. Extracted, 

 white, 6:370.; amber. 4^4®.") i4c. Beeswax. 32 

 ®25c. 



There is not very much houey in our mar- 

 ket Selling rather slow. Demand beginning 

 to be a little better. Think trade will be fair 

 in this line this fall. 



Milwaukee, 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, 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 conBumpilon 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. 121,4c'.; No. 1 white. 10(3illc.; fancy 

 amber. 9@10e. ; No. 1 amber. 839c.; fancy 

 dark, 7(a8c.; No. 1 dark. 6-8c. Extracted, 

 white. 5i4@G!^c.; amber, o^ol^c.; dark. 4@ 

 3c. Beeswax, 23((S26c. 



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. 



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

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

 amber. lC-13c.; No. I amber, ll-llc; fancy 

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

 6-6Hc.; amber, 5-5^c.; darii. 4-4^c. Bees- 

 wax, 22-230 



Bnfialo, N. Y., Oct. 30. — Strictly fancy 

 comb, ipound, 12-13c.; fair to good, 9-lOc.; 

 dark, 7-8c. 



Demand is much better for fancy, but com- 

 mon stock is very dull at any price. 



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

 14c.; No. 1, I1-12C. Extracted, white, 6-7c.; 

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