HONEY AND BEESWAX MAR- 

 KET. 



WASHINGTON GRADING RULES. 



Fancy. — All sections to be well filled, combs 

 straight, of even thickness and firmly attached 

 to all four sides; both wood and comb unsoil- 

 ed 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 otherwise. 



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. 



Below we give the latest and most authentic 

 report of the Honey and Beeswax market in 

 different trade centers: 



Buffalo, N .Y., July 9.— Fancy new honey, 

 15 to 16 cents. Moderate demand as yet. No 

 demand for extracted. Beeswax is wanted at 

 from 30 to 33 cents for fancy. 



Batterson & Co. 



Kansas City, Mo., July 10.— Old crop of 

 comb honey cleaned up; new crop on the 

 market. Prospects for a big crop good. The 

 supply is good, with light demand. We quote: 

 Comb, 10 to 12 1-2 cents; extracted, 5 1-2 to 6 1-2 

 cents. Beeswax is in good demand, with light 

 supply, at 30 cents a pound. 



Hamblin & Sappington. 



Chicago, 111., July 7. — The honey market may 

 be said to be on a vacation so far as actual busi- 

 ness is concerned. Should the harvest of 1902 

 be practically a failure there will be no dearth 

 of extracted honey, as there is more of it in 

 storage than we have ever known at this sea- 

 son of the year. If the consumers are not 

 too greatly impressed with the idea that the 

 honey harvest is a failure tnis season it may 

 be worked off at an advance in price. Bees- 

 wax is lower, yet sells well at 30 cents per 

 poimd. R. A. Burnett & Co.

 count for nothing. Truth has always 

 dwelt with the few.
