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 rule»: 



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.

 firm feeling at present pirces. Beeswax in de-

PHII,ADEI,PHIA— 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; amber, 6 to 7c; 

 Southern, 5^ 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

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

 very warm the demand for noney has not set in, 

 therefore the market is very quiet. I am told

 last season. I have no old, and the following 

 quotations are for new: Fancy White 14c to isJ^c, 

 No. I White 13c to 145^0.

CHICAGO — During the past week or so we 

 have had considerable inquiry for New Comb 

 Honey, but the supply is rather limited. If 

 shippers have any new Comb Honey ready, we 

 would advise letting it come forward, or write 

 us what they have to offer and lowest price . 

 Trade on Extracted Honey very quiet, demand 

 limited. We quote as follows: Fancy White 12

 the demand for honey is slowly increasing, and 

 the market is firm Beeswax in good demand. 

 We quote as follows for 24-lb cases: Fancy White 

 $3.00: Fancy .-imber, $2. 25 t o $2.50; hite, Ex-

C. C. CIvEMONS & CO. 

 Aug. 30 Kansas City, Mo. 



ALBANY, N. Y —The 'demand for honey is 

 improving some as the season advances. We 

 think present prices are good to take, for from 

 information throughout the country, would 

 seem to be a larger crop than last season, al- 

 though the crop in this vicinity is short. We 

 have to depend on outside producing sections. 

 We quote as follows: Fancy White. i6c; No. i 

 White, 15 c to 16 c; Fancy Amber, 13c to 14c; No. 

 I Amber. 12c to 13c; Fancy Dark 12c to 13c; No. 

 I Dark, iic to 12c; White, Extracted, 7c to 7j^c;

 Beeswax, 28c to 30c.
