Honey Quotations. 



The fol owing rules for grading honey were 

 adopted I y the North Ameiican Bre-Keepers' 

 Association, at the Washington meeting, and, so 

 far as pr.ssible, quotations are niade according to 

 thtse rules: 



Fancy— All sections to be well filled; combs 

 straight, of even thickness, and firmly attached 

 to all four sidfs; both wood and comb unsoiled 

 by travel-stain or otherwise; all the cells sealed 

 except the row ot cells next the wood. 



No. I. — All .sections well filled, but combs un- 

 even or crooked, det ched at the bottom, or with 

 but few ce'ls unsealed; both wood and comb un- 

 soilcd by travel-stain or otherwise. 



In addition to this the honey is to be c'assified 

 according to color, using the terms white, amber 

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

 "No. I, dark," etc. 



The prices given if the following quo'ations 

 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 d- alers charge only 

 five per cent when a shipment sells for as much 

 as one hundred dollars. 



^I^CIN^■'ATI — Since our last report wa» pub- 

 lished, the price of extracted honey has ad- 

 vanced, no d-ubt acting in .sympathy with the 

 sugar market We quote ambei extracted in 

 barrels 6 to 6^c;white clover extracted in barrels 

 and cans, at;65^ to S^c; fancy comb honey, 13 to 

 14c; beeswax 28c.

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

CHICAGO— Trade r-n honey during the p-ist 

 two weeks has been very good, although a good 

 many of the jobbers are holding off buying until 

 after Jan. ist on account of stock taking

 ward. We quote a-f follows: Fancy white 13 to 

 14c; No. I white 12 to 13c; No. 2 white 10 to iic

ALBANY, 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 vtcinity is short. We have to de- 

 pend on outside producing sections We quote as 

 follows: Fancy white i6c; .N'o. i white 15 to i6c; 

 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 7^c; amber extracted 6 to 6}4c; 

 dark extracted, beeswax 28 to 30c.
