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 

 straieht, 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 much 

 as one hundred dollars. 



KANSAS CITV— We quote as follows: Fancy 

 white, II to ii^c; No. i white $2.75 per case; No. 

 2 white, $2.60; fancy amber $2. 50; white, extract- 

 ed 6J^c; amber 6c; beeswax 28 to 30c.

CINCINNTATI— There is little, if any, improve- 

 ment in the honey market here since our last 

 quotation. We hope to render a more encourag- 

 ing report soon . 



We quote amber extracted in barrels and 

 cans at 554 to 6^c. White clover at 7 to 8c; fancy 

 white comb honey at 12 and 13c: beeswax 28c. 



THE FRED W. MUTH CO. 

 Mch. 10-05 51 Walnut St., Cincinnati, Ohio. 



PHILADEI,PHIA— Since our last quotations, 

 honey has been gradually declining, and at the 

 end of the season for comb honey especially, 

 commission men and holders are offeiing at most 

 any pi ice to clear out their stock. We quote 

 as follows: Fancy white 14c; No. i, 11 to 12c; 

 amber 11 c; white extracted 7 to 8c; amber, 

 5 to 6c; beeswax 280. We are producers of honey 

 and do not not handle on commission.

CHICAGO — No material change from our quo- 

 tations in last issue except that we have moved, 

 during the past month, a good deal of Colorado 

 Comb Honey, and are almost entirely cleaned up 

 on Wisconsin stock. 



If producers still have honey to ship, we advise 

 letting it come forward. 



Demand for strained honey limited, and sup- 

 ply equal to demand. We quote as follows: 

 Fancy white, 13c; No. i white 11^ to I2j4c; 

 white, extracted 6J^ to 7c; amber 6 to 6J4c; bees 

 wax 28 to 30c.

ttANSAS CITY— Market teJuains dull and in- 

 active, and we do not look for any particular 

 change here soon. We quote as follows: Fancy 

 white |2.6o per case; white extracted 5 to 7c; 

 beeswax 28c. 



C. C. CI^EMONS & CO.. 

 March 7, 1905 Kansas City, Mo. 



CHICAGO — There has been somewhat of an 

 increase in the number of sales during the past 

 four weeks, yet the volume, has not been large, 

 while prices are if anything lower than in Janu- 

 ary, especially on other grades than white 

 clover. Fancy grades of white comb, bring 12^ 

 to 13c; No. I, I2C, with some off in color, 8 to loc; 

 extracted white 6 to 7c, amber 5^ to 6J^c, the 

 price being governed by quality, flavor and 

 package. Beeswax if clean and good color 30c 

 per lb 



R. A. BURNETT & CO., 

 Mch. 8, 1905. 199 So. Water St. 



BUFFAI<0— Strictly fancy one-pound comb 

 honey sells fairlj well at 13 to 14c, but all other 

 grades must be cut hard to move, but can be sold 

 if so cut. Can use some fancy comb. Fancy white 

 13 to 14c; No. I white, 11 to 12c; fancy amber 9 to 

 loc; No. I amber 8 to 9c; fancy dark 8 to 9 c; No. 

 I dark, 7 to Sc; white extracted, 4 to 6c; beeswax 

 28 to 30c. 



BATTERSON & CO., 

 Feb. 6, 1905. Buffalo. N. Y. 



NEW YORK — Trade is very quiet especially on 

 comb. Have abundant stock and would not 

 advise shipping at this time. ^Ve quote as fol- 

 lows: Fancy white 13 to 14c; No. i white 11 to 

 I2c; fancy amber loc; fancy dark 9 to loc; white, 

 extracted 6 to 6J^c; amber 5% to 6c; dark 5c; 

 beeswax 29c.

TOliEDO — The demand on comb honey is bet- 

 ter for the last two weeks than it has been at 

 any time during the winter. We quote fancy 

 white honey at i2^c to 13c; No. i, iic to 12c; 

 amber 9 to loc. Extracted, white clover, in 

 barrels, 6^ to7c: in cans 7]/i to 8c. Amber ex- 

 tracted in barrels, 5 to 5J4. Beeswax 25 and 28c 

 Would state that there is a good demand at pres- 

 ent for dark amber extracted honey and we 

 would advise any that have it to sell, to dispose 

 of it as soon as possible. The market on comb 

 honey is getting pretty well cleaned up, and we 

 look for no large receipts during the remainder 

 of the season.
