Honey Quotations 



The fol owing rules for grading honey were 

 adopted ty 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. — .Ml sections well filled, but combs un- 

 even or crooked, det ched 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 \Yhite, amber 

 and dark. That is, there will be "fancj- 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 CITY— The honey market is over- 

 stocked, and consumption light. Beeswax is 

 firm. We quote as follows: Fanry white, ^2.50 

 per case of 24 sections; No. i while $2. 25 per case 

 of 24 sections; fancy amber S2.C0 per case of 24 

 sections; white, extracted 6Hc; amber 6c; bees- 

 wax 2S to 30c.

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

BUFFALO — 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 q to loc; No. i amber 8 to gc; fancy dark 8

CHICAGO — There has been somewhat of an 

 increase in the number of sales during the past 

 four weeks, yet th > 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 12M 

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

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

 price being governed by quality, flavor and 

 package. Beeswax if clean and good color 30c 

 per lb.

 $1.50 per case is about all dealers want to pay.

 sumers. We quote as follows: White fi.75 per 

 per case; white extracted 5^5 to 6I2C; amber, 4^ 

 to 5c; dark, 4"^; beeswax 2Sc.

 letting it come forward.
