MARKET Ql'OXAXIO.^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; ail 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 ceils 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., Dec. 18,— Fancy white, 12® 

 3c.: No. 1, 11IS12C.: fancy amber, 10c. ; No. 1, 

 7(99c. ; fancy dark. 8c.; No. 1, 7@8c. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 5@7c.; aml^er. 5@6c.; dark, 

 i.Vi®ac. Beeswax, 26@27c. 



There has been a little more tiade in honey 

 this month, but the sales are below average 

 for this season of the year. 



FhiladelpMa, Pa., Dec, 12.— Fancy white 

 comb, 13-14C.; No. 1 white. ll-I2c.; fancy 

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

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



Comb honey arriving freely and market 

 overstocked at present. 



New York, TSt. Y , Dec. 12 —Fancy white, 

 12c.; off grades. 10@llc. ; buckwheat. 8@9c. 

 No change in extracted. Beeswax firm at 26 

 @27c. 



The market is well supplied with comb 

 honey of all grades and styles. Fancy white 

 is in fair demand, while off grades white and 

 buckwheat are moving off rather slowly. 



Albany, H. Y,, Dec, 12.— Fancy white, 12- 

 13c.; No. 1, 11-12C. ; fancy amber, 9-lOc'; 

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

 dark. 4-3c. 



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. 



Indianapolis, Ind,, Dec. 7.— Fancy white. 

 14-15C.; No. 1 white, 12-13c. Extracted, 

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



Demand is fair for grades quoted, but no 

 demand for inferior grades. 



Kansas City, Mo., Dec. 12.— Fancy white 

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

 amber. 12-13c.; No. 1 amber. 11-1 2c. ; fancy 

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

 6-6!4e.; amber, 5 5J4c.; dark. 4-4!4c. Bees- 

 wax. 22-25C 



Boston, Mass., Dec. 12.— Fancy white, 13 

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

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



Cincinnati, Ohio, Dec. 8.— Comb honey 

 10@14c. Extracted, 4@7c. The honey mar- 

 ket is slow in all its brandies. Demand Is 

 about equal to the arrivals. 



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

 good to choice yellow. 



Milwaukee, Wis., Dec. 12.— 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 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. 



Cleveland, Ohio, Dec. 12.— Fancy white 

 14K@15c.: No. 1 white. 12!4@13c. Extracted, 

 white, 6@7c.; amber, 4!4(a5'/4c. 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. 



Buffalo, N. Y., Dec. ll.-Fancy 1-pound 

 comb IS quiet at ll@l2c,; No. 1, 10@llc ; 

 dark and poor require hard pushing at 9@te 



St. £onis, UcDec. 9.— Fancy white, 14e. ; 

 No. 1 white, 12®13c.; fancy amber, ll®13c.; 

 No. 1 amber. 10®10!4c.; fancy dark. 9@9^c.; 

 No. 1 dark. 7@8c. Extracted, white. In cans,
