Honey Quotations. 



The following rules for grading honey were 

 adopted by the North Ameiican 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 tirmly attached 

 in 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, detfched 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 



Eer cent ; except that a few df alers charge only 

 ve per cent, when a shipment sells for as much 

 as one hundred dollars. 



Kansas city— The honey market is over- 

 stocked, and consumption light. Beeswax is 

 firm. We quote as follows; Fan. y white, j2., so 

 per case of 24 sections; No. i white $2 25 per ca.se 

 of 24 sections; fancy amber $2.00 per case of 24 

 sections; white, extracted 6}^c;an.ber 6c; btes- 

 wax 28 to 30c.

 ing report soon

 cans at 5^ to 6J/2C White clover at 7 to 8c; fancy 

 white comb honey at 12 and i^c: beeswax 28c.

BUFFAIvO— Fancy comb honey sells very well 

 at 12 to 13c, but verj slowly at more than that, 

 other grades are dull, and require pushing to 

 move at quotations. We quote as follows: Fancy 

 white 12 to 13c; No. i white, 10 to 12c; fancy 

 amber 9 to loc; No. t amber 8 to gc; fancy dark 8 

 to 9 c; No. I dark, 7 to 8c; white extracted, 4 to 6c; 

 beeswax 28 to 30c.

PHILADEIvPHIA— Since our last quotations, 

 noney has bten gradually declining, and at the 

 end of the season for comb honey especially, 

 commission men and holders areoffeiing at most 

 any pi ice to clear out their stock. We quote 

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

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

 ■^ 'o 6c; beeswax 28c. We are producers of honey 

 and do not not handle on commission

 sumers. We quote as follows: White f 1.75 per 

 per case; white extracted 5^ to 6^2C; amber, 4%

CHICAGO— There has been somewhat of an 

 increase in the number of sales during the past 

 four weeks, yet th i 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. t, i;«c, with some off in color, 8 to loc; 

 exti acted white f> to 7c, amber 5% to 6}^c, the 

 price being governed by quality, flavor and

 tations in last issue except that we have moved, 

 during the past month, a good deal of Colorado

 letting it come forward. 



Demand for strained honey limited, and sup- 

 ply equal to demand. We quote as follows:
