Honey Quotations. 



The following rules for grading honey were 

 adopted by the North American 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, using the terms white, amber 

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

 "No. I, dark," etc. 



The 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 balance 

 being sent to the shipper. Commission is ten 

 per cent. ; except that a few dealers charge only 

 five per cent, when a shipment sells for as much 

 as one hundred dollars. 



KANSAS CITY, MO.— Honey stock is well 

 cleaned up, and demand good. Beeswax in 

 good demand. We quote as follows: — No.i 

 white, $2 50 a case; No.i amber, $2.25 a case; 

 White extracted, 6>4c; amber, 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- 

 relsat !=,'/i to 614 cts, 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^c to 15c for fancy. Beeswax 

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

 cept low prices. We quote as follows: — Fancy

PHII,ADEI,PHIA— 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 otherwise 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 demand 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 II to 12c, anything 

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

 tracted white, according to quality, sells at 6 to 

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

NEW YORK— Market quiet, especially oa 

 Comb. Fair demand for extracted. Beeswax 

 scarce and wanted. We quote as follows:— 

 Fancy white, 13c; No. i fancy amber, iic; No. 1. 

 loc; white extracted, 6i^c; amber, 5^ to 5%c; 

 dark, 5c; beeswax, 29 to 30.

CINCINNATI, OHIO— The honey market con- 

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

 are lower; concessions are made on bigger lots. 

 I quote: fancy white comb from 12^ to 14c. 

 Sales on extracted are made at the following 

 prices; Amber, in barrels, 5}{ to s^c; in cans, 

 ^c more. Alfalfa, water white, 6 and 6}^c; 

 strictly white clover, for extra fancy, y}< and 

 8c. Beeswax 30c.

CHICAGO — We report a very good trade on 

 Comb and Extracted Honey during the month 

 of April, at which time we greatly reduced our 

 stock. If producers still have any honey un- 

 sold, would advi.se letting it come forward; no 

 doubt we could dispose of it so as to show satis- 

 factory results. We quote as follows: Fancy 

 white, 12 to T3c; No. i, 11 to 12c; white extracted, 

 6 to 7c; amber, 5 to 6c; beeswax, 29 to 31c.

 is good; supplies light, and we look for higher 

 prices. We quote as follows: Fancy white, 

 12.50 per case; No, 1, |2. 40; fancy amber, $2.25; 

 white extracted, 6J^c; amber, 55^c; beeswax, 30c.

AI^BANY, N. Y — The honey market is dull 

 and it looks as if some would have to be carried 

 over the season, a 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;
