Honey Quotations. 



The following rules for grading honey were 

 adopted by the North Aniericaji Bee-Keepers' 

 Association, at its Washington meeting, and, so 

 far as possible, quotations are made according 

 to these rules: 



Fancy — All sections to be well filled; combs 

 straight, of even thickness, and firmly attached 

 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. I. — All sections well filled, but combs un- 

 even 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 classified 

 according to color, usiuir the terms white, amber 

 and dark. That is, there will be "fancy white," 

 "No. I, dark," etc. 



Tiie prices given in the following quotations 

 are those at which the dealers sell to the gro- 

 cers. From these prices must be deducted 

 freight, cartage and commission— the laalance 

 being sent to the shipper. Commission is ten 

 per cent.; except that a few dealers charge only 

 live per cent, when a shipment sells for as much 

 as one hundred dollars. 



KANvSAS CITY, MO.— The honey market 

 is heavily stocked, and dull; bvit beeswax is firm. 

 We quote as follows: — Fancy white,$2. 25 to $2.50 

 per case; No.i, I2.25; white, extracted, sJ^ to 6c; 

 beeswax, 30c.

CINCINNATI— The demand for honey is 

 brighter than it has been in the past sixty days. 

 We continue to offer Amber Extracted in bar- 

 rels at 554 to 6!- els, according to quality. White 

 Clover Extracted is a drag on the market at 654c 

 to 8 c in barrels and cans. Comb honey seems 

 to be reviving at I3'/2C to 15c for fancy. Beeswax 

 is wanted by us at 30c per lb delivered here.

BUP'F.M.O — Honej' can only be made to move 

 by cutting prices sharply on all grades. Stocks 

 are not heavy but they drag. Still we can move 

 them moderately at quotations, which are as 

 follows: — Fancy white, 12 to 13c; No.i white, 10 

 to lie; fancy ariiber g to loc: No i amber, 8 to gc; 

 fanc3' dark, 8 to S^c; No.i dark, 7 to 8c; beeswax 

 25 to 32c.

PHILADEIvPHIA— The season for selling 

 honey has been prolonged on account of the 

 cold weather, which has certainly been very for- 

 tunate for the bee-keeper, as there never was as 

 much honey shipped in so late in the season to 

 be disposed of. It has broken the price quite 

 considerably, but there is still quite a demand, 

 which otherwi.se would have fallen off. We 

 quote as follows: — Fancy white comb, 13 to 14c; 

 No. I, i2c: amber and buckwheat, 9 to loc; Ex- 

 tracted buckwheat, 7 to 8c: amber, 6 to 7c; bees- 

 wax 31c and in good demflnd. We are producers 

 of honey and do not handle on commission.

CHICAGO — 'The market is heavily supplied 

 with comb and extracted, neither of which are 

 meeting with any demand; especially is this true 

 of the comb honey. Prices are uncertain, as 

 those having stock are anxious to sell it; there- 

 fore, it is difficult to quote prices. The best 

 grades of white comb bring 11 to 12c, anything 

 off, from choice to fancy, is not svanted. Ex- 

 tracted white, according to qviality, sells at 6 to 

 7c; amber, 5 to 6c; beeswax 30 to 32c. 



R. A. BURNETT & Co., 

 April 7. 199 So. Water St., Chicago, Ills. 



NEW YORK— Market is quiet 0.1 comb honey, 

 with plenty of supply of all grades. Beeswax 

 firm and scarce. Extracted in fair demand. 

 We quote as follows: Fancy white. 14c; No. 1 

 white 12 to i-!c; fancy amber itc; No. I amber, 

 loc; fancv dark, gc; white, extracted, 6% to 7c; 

 amber, 5^c; dark, 5c; beeswax, 29c to 30c.

 March 8. New York. 



CINCINNATI, OHIO— The honey market con- 

 tinues to be dull; if anything, the prices on comb 

 honey are lower, and" concessions are made on 

 bigger lots. I quote fancy white comb from 12% 

 to 14c. Sales on extracted are made at the fol- 

 lowing prices: Amber, in barrels, sJ^ to sj^c; in 

 cans }ic more. Alfalfa, water white, 6 to 6^c; 

 strictlj' white clover, for extra fancy, 7}^ to 8c. 

 Beeswax, 30c.

CHICAGO — We have nothing interesting to re- 

 port relative to market on honey, from what we 

 stated in our last quotation. Our stock is clean- 

 ed up pretty well. If producers have any honey 

 unsold we would advise letting it come forward, 

 as we are in a good position to take care of it. 

 We qtiote as follows: — Fancy white, iij^ to i2j^c; 

 No.i white, 10 to ii'jc; No.i amber, gtoioc; 

 white extiacted, 6 to 7c; amber, 5 to 6c; beeswax, 

 32c. 



S. T. FISH & CO., 



March 30. 189 So. Water St., Chicago, Ills 



KANSAS CITY, MO.— It is now getting quite 

 late in the season, and there is still a heavy stock 

 of honey held in Kansas City. The movement 

 on both comb and extracted honey is very, very 

 slow, especially on the latter, and the demand 

 seems to have dropped off entirely. We quote as 

 follows: — Fancy white, I2.25 a case; No.i, $2.10; 

 No.i amber, $2.00; white extracted, 6c. 



C. C. CI^EMONS & CO. 

 March 30 Kan.sas City, Mo. 



ALBANY, N. Y — The honey market is dull 

 and it looks as if some would have to be carried 

 over the season, .-v large portion of the stock is 

 candied hard in the comb, from the long, cold 

 winter. We quote as follows: Fancy white, 13 

 to 14 c; No. I white, 12 to 13 c; fancy amber, 11 to 

 12 c; No. I amber, 10 to iic; fancy dark, 11 to 12c; 

 No. I dark, 10 to iic; white extracted, 6 to 6J^c; 

 amber extracted, 5% to 6c; dark extracted. 5 to 

 6J^c; beeswax, 28 to 30c.
