Honey Quotations. 



The following rules for grading honey were 

 adopted by the North American Bee-Keepers' 

 Association, at the Washington meeting, and, so 

 far as possible, quotations are uiade according to 

 these rules: 



Fancy— All sections to be well filled; combs 

 straiaht, 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 un- 

 soiled 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 tnvich 

 as one hundred dollars. 



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 8^c; amber in barrels 55^ to 6c; fancy 

 white clover comb honey, at 14 to 15c; beeswax 

 28c-

 We quote as] follows: Fancy white 

 fancy amber |2.oo per case; white, extracted 65^c; 

 beeswax 30c . 



C. C. CIvEMONS & CO., 

 Nov. 29, 1904. Kansas City, Mo. 



KANSAS CITY— MarVet is well supplied with 

 honey, both comb and extracted. Considerable 

 No. 2 comb is on hand, which demoralizes 

 market. We quote as follows: Fancy white, 11 

 to i2c; No. I white uc; fancy amber loc; No. i 

 amber loc; white, e.xtracted 6^c; amber 6c; bees- 

 wax 28 to 30c, 



WAI^KER-BREWSTER GROCER CO., 

 Nov. 30, iyo4. 423 Walnut St., Kansas City, Mo. 



CHICAGO— The market is well supplied with 

 all kinds ot honey, the demand is of a light 

 nature. Fancy comb honey brings 14c, but qual- 

 ity as well as appearance is necessary. No. i 

 sells at i2^c to 13c, off grades difficult to move 

 at ic to 3c less. Extracted choice white 7c to 

 7^c, amber 6c to 7c with off grades about sJ^c; 

 beeswax 30c per lb. 



R. A. BURNETT & CO., 

 Dec, 7, 1904. 199 So. Water St. 



BUFFALO — Really fancy or No. i sells very 

 well, but lower grades have to be pushed and 

 cut to move them. Some lots of old are hardly 

 salable at any price above 5 to 6c. We quote as 

 follows: Fancy white 14 to 15c; No. i white 12 to 

 13c; fancy amber 10 to iic; No. i amber 9 to loc; 

 fancy dark 9 to loc; No. i dark 8 to 9c; beeswax 

 28 to 32c, 



BATTERSON & CO., 

 NOV. 29, 1904. Buffalo. 



CINCINNATI — Comb honey is now coming in 

 more freely, and prices, if anything, have mod- 

 erated a little. The sales made and prices ob- 

 tained were: No. i fancy water white 13 to 15c; 

 No. 2, 12 to 14c; extracted is sold as follows: 

 white clover in barrels 6J^c; in cans 65^ to 8c; 

 amber in barrela sJi to sJ^c; in cans 6 to 6%; 

 beeswax 27c.

PHII^ADEIvPHIA- Honey has not been quite 

 so active in the last ten days, but more demand 

 is expected soon, as more honey is sold at the 

 present time than at any season of the year. 

 We quite: Fancy white 15 to i6c; No. i, 13 to 14c; 

 amber II to 12c; white extracted 7 to 8c; amber 

 extracted 6 to 7c; beeswax sells quick 25 to 26c. 

 We are producers of honey and do not handle on 

 commission. 



WM. A. SEIvSER, 

 Dec. 8, 1904. 10 Vine Street, 



Philadelphia, Pa. 



AL,BANY, N. Y. — The demand for honey is im- 

 proving some as the season advances We think 

 present prices are good to take, for from infor- 

 mation throughout the country, would seem to 

 be a larger crop than last season, although the 

 crop in this vtcinitj' is short. We have to de- 

 pend on outside producing sections. We quote as 

 follows: Fancy white i6c; No. i white 15 to 16c; 

 fancy amber 13 to 14c; No; i amber 12 to 13c; 

 fancy dark 12 to 13c; No. i darkii to 12c; white 

 extracted 7 to 7J^c; amber extracted 6 to 6J^c; 

 dark extracted, beeswax 28 to 30c. 



H. N. WRIGHT, 

 Wholesale Commission, 

 Sept. I Albany, N. Y. 



NEW YORK— Comb honey is plentiful, de- 

 mand is fair but not as good as last year. In 

 large lots prices are shaded to effect sales. Ex- 

 tracted in good demand. Beeswax quiet. We 

 quote as follows: Fancy white 14 to 15c; No. I 

 white 13c; fancy amber 12c; No. i amber iic, 

 fancy dark 10 to 11; No. i dark 9 to loc; white; 

 extracted 6J^c; amber 6c; dark sJ^c; beeswax 28 

 to 29c.

CHICAGO— We are moving considerable stock 

 in the honey line. In fact, this is the season 

 ofthe year when trade takes hold of this com- 

 modity more liberally than at any other time. 

 When large orders are involved, concessions 

 in price will have to be made in order to effect 

 .<=ales. Colorado comb honey is cutting quite a 

 figure on this market, a good many cars coming 

 this way on a consignment basis, and selling at 

 satisfactory prices. We quote an follows: Fancy 

 white 13 to 14c; No- I white 12 to 13c; No. 2 white 

 II to I2C- No. 1 amber loc; white, extracted 7 to 

 75^c; amber 5 to 6}^c; beeswax 29 to 31c.
