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, 55^2c; amber, 6c; beeswax, 30c.

 mand. New honey is beginning to arrive.

 ber extracted in barrels and cans, 55^ to ejic. 

 White clover extracted, 6^2 to 8c: comb honey 

 (demand limited). 13 to 14c for fancy and No. i.

PHILADELPHIA— There has been absolutely 

 no call during the past two weeks for either ex- 

 tracted or comb honey. Quite a lot of new 

 goods from the South has been offered, but not 

 enough sales to fix a market price. Everybody' 

 is expectantly waiting to see what the outcome 

 will be in the way of production. Some parts of 

 York state have quite a crop, while other parts 

 have little or none. Several large lots of extract- 

 ed honey have arrived in our market. We quote 

 as follows: — Fancy white, 7 to 8c; atnber, 6 to 7c; 

 Southern, $% to 6c; beeswax, 26c. We are pro- 

 ducers of honey and do not handle on commis- 

 sion.

CHICAGO— The market has an over supply of 

 comb honey, very little of which will pass as 

 No. I grade — price is ii to 12c per pound, and 

 off-grades at corresponding values Extracted 

 at 6 to 7c per pound for best grades of white; 

 amber colors, 5 to 6c; beeswax, 28 to 30c.

NEW YORK— Very little demand for comb. 

 Extracted in fairly good demand, with plenty of 

 supply. Beeswax is dull and declining. We 

 quote as follows: — P'ancy white, 13c; No. i white. 

 i2c; fancy amber, 10 to iic; white extracted, 6]4 

 to 7c; amber extracted, 5 to s^c; beeswax, 28 to 

 29c.

 265 & 267 Greenwich St., Cor. Murray St. 

 July 3c New York. 



CINCINNATI, OHIO.— The sales of comb 

 honey which are now being made, amount to 

 but very little; Some fancy comb left from last 

 sea.son finds sale at 12'/^ to 13^2^. The new is 

 just beginning to be offered, and small lots are 

 coming in. Extracted for manufacturing pur- 

 poses, finds a fair demand. I. quote amber in 

 barrels, $}{ to sHc; water white alfalfa, 6J^c. 

 Extra fancy white clover. y%c; beeswax, 28c.

CHICAGO— With the past week we have had a 

 very good trade on comb honey, which is in- 

 creasing daily, and, if producers have any new 

 honey ready for shipment, we advise letting it 

 come forward at once, and no doubt can dispose 

 of it so as to net them handsome returns. 



Trade on extracted honey is inclined to be 

 somewhat slow yet, but we look to see trade on 

 this commodity improve after the first of the 

 month. We quote as follows: — Fancy white, 

 121,^ to 13c; No. I white, 11 to 12c; white extract- 

 ed, 6 to 7c; amber extracted, 5 to 6c; beeswax, 

 28 to 30c. 



S. T. FISH & CO.,

189 So. Water St., Chicago, Ills 



KANSAS CITY, MO.— The arrivals of new 

 honey are increasing, and demand seems a little 

 better each week; dark honey sells slowly at 

 present, also extracted, but with cooler weather 

 we look for the trade on amber and extracted to 

 be better. We quote as follow.^: — Fancy white, 

 $2.75 per case; No. i white, 12,75; beeswax, 30c 

 per pound. 



C. C. CLEMONS & CO. 

 July 27 Kansas City, Mo. 



ALBANY, N. Y — The honey market has not 

 fairly opened up yet. Receipts very light, and 

 very little demand in .-august. Would advise 

 bee-keepers to hold stock until September or 

 October when there is a demand. Some white 

 comb is coming in, and sells at 15 to i6c; ex- 

 tracted clover, 7c for white, and 6c for mixed or 

 dark.
