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 rulen: 



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 comhs un- 

 even or crooked, detached at the bottom, or 

 with but few cells unsenled; both wood and 

 comb unsoiled by travel-slain 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. Ffrom 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 

 «s one hundred dollars.

 firm feeling at present pirces. Beeswax in de- 

 mand. We quote as follows tor 24-lb. cases. 

 Fancy White, $3.75; No. i White, $2.65; No. i

CINCINNATI — There is a marked improve- 

 ment in the demand for comb honey since our 

 last quotations. No material change in the ex- 

 tracted honey market. We continue to quote 

 white clover, extracted honey in barrels and 

 cans, at 7 to ^l/ic. Amber, in barrels, 5}{ to 6c. 

 Fancy white clover comb honey, at 14 to 15c.

 mand improves. Moderate shipments are ad- 

 vised until October and November. Lot.s of old

PHII<ADEI,PHIA— Shipments have been quite 

 heavy in the last two weeks. Prices are a little 

 weaker in consequence, although fancy honey 

 maintains a good price. We find the shortage is 

 always in the fancy goods, and the off goods are 

 what overstocks the market. We quote some 

 sales as follows: Fancy white comb, 16 to 17 c.. 

 No. 1, 14c,; amber and No. 2, 12 to 13c.; extracted 

 honey, white, 8c.; amber 6 to 7c 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 11 to 12c per pound, and 

 off-grades at corre.<;pon(iing 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 new comb honey is 

 arriving as yet and prices are not established. 

 Extracted in fairly good demand, with plenty of 

 supply. Beeswax is dull and declining. We

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 

 c to 13c; No. I white, iic 10 12c; hite. Ex- 

 tracted, 6c to 7c; Amber, extracted, 5%c to 6c;

KANSAS CITY, MO.— With cooler weather 

 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 

 I3.00: Fancy .-iinber, $2.25 to I2.50; hite. Ex- 

 tracted, 7c lb; Beeswax, 30c. 



C. C. CI^EMONS & CO. 

 Aug. 30 Kansas City, Mo. 



AI^BANY, 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. ^Ve 

 have to depend on outside producing sections. 

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

 White, 15 c to 16 c; Fancy Amber, 13010 14c; No. 

 I Amber, 12c to 13c: Fancy Dark 12c 10130; No. 

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

 Amber, Extracted, 6c to 6J^c; Dark, Extracted, 

 Beeswax, 28c to 30c.
