Honey Quotations 



The fol owing rules for grading honey were 

 adopted by the North Ameiican Bte-Keepers' 

 Association, at the Washington meeting, and so 

 far as possible, quotations are made according to 

 these rules: 



Fancy— All sections to be well filleo; combs 

 straiaht, of even thickness, and hrmly 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 c'assified 

 according to color, using the terms w hite, 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 

 treight, cartage and commission— the balance 

 being sent to the shipper. Commission is ten 

 per cent ; except that a few dealers, charge only 

 live per cent, when a shipment sells for as much 

 as one hundred dollars.

CHICAGO— Trade on come honev is still very 

 quiet on account of heavy arrivals of fruits of ail

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

 to i2c; white extracted, 6 to 6J^c; amber, s to 6c

TOI^EDO- The market on comb honey at this 

 writing is practically un.settled, and a great 

 many are waiting to see how the new crop is go- 

 ing to come out. Most of the old honey is pretty 

 well cleaned up, and very little new honey is 

 being offered as yet, and we think fancy would 

 bring 14 to 15c; No. I, 13 to 14c, with little demand 

 tor amber. Extracted, in barrels, white clover 

 5^ to 6c, cans, 6i^ to 7c. Good demand for amber 

 honey in barrels, 4'^ to 5c, cans, 5 to s5^c
