Honey Quotations 



The following rules for grading honey were 

 adopted by the North Araeiican Bte-Keepers' 

 Association, at the Washington meeting, anfl, 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, 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 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. 



NEW YORK — The market is very quiet espe- 

 cially on comb honey; and cannot encourage 

 shipping at this time ^Ve quote as follows: 

 Fancy white 13c; No. i white 12c; fancy amber 

 lie; No. I amber, loc; fancy dark 9c: white, ex- 

 tracted 6^c; amber 5% to 6c; dark 5c; bees-

CHICAGO— At this writing trade on comb 

 horiey is very quiet and in onler to effect sales 

 it is necessary to make confessions in price. 

 There is a little more activity in extracted honeyj 

 but prices will have to l)e low in order to inter- 

 est buyers. We have effected sale of one straight 

 car ol extracted honey this month. Good de- 

 mand for beeswax at satifaciorj prices. We 

 quoiea-- follows; Fancy while, 12 10 I2}4c; No. i 

 white II to 12c, white, extracted 6 to 614c; amber 

 5 to 6c; beeswax 25 to 29c, depending on quality.

BUFFALO — Our honey market remains very 

 quiet. Strictly fancy is selling moderately at 12 

 to 13c, while other grades are weak and dull, at 

 from 10 to 7c We notice no arrivals of new 

 honey as yet, nor is there any demand for it. 

 Very little busine.«s done here in extracted 

 honey.
