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 niade 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, bvit combs un- 

 even or crooked, detpched 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 much 

 as one hundred dollars. 



CINCINNATI— Since our last report was pub- 

 lished, the price of extracted honey has ad- 

 vanced, no doubt 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;;654 to 8^c; fancy comb honey, 13 to 

 14c; beeswax 28c.

 amber II to, i2c: white extracted 7 to 8c; amber,

CHICAGO— Market on comb honey has been 

 unusually quiet for past month occasioned by 

 extreme cold weather which prohibited making 

 shipments. 



Trade on extracted honey has been very satis- 

 factory since the first of the year, but as to 

 quantity sold and prices obtained, and we ad- 

 vise letting shipments of extracted come for- 

 ward if still in producers's hands. We quote as 

 follows: Fancy white, 12 to 13; No. 1 white 11 to 

 i2c; fancj' amber 10 to 11 cts: No. i amber, 8 to 10 

 cts; white, extracted 6^ to 75^c;amber5 to 6c; 

 beeswax 28 to 31c depending on quality.

 is very slow; the supply exceeds the demand;

 at present. We quote as follows: Fancy white

 beeswax 28 to 30c.
