Honey Quotations 



The following rules for grading honey were 

 adopted by the North American Bre-Keepers' 

 Association, at the Washington meeting, anri, so 

 far as possible, quotations are niade according to 

 these rules: 



Fancy — All sections to be well filled; combs 

 straight, of even thickness, and hrnily attached 

 to all four sides; both wood and comb unsoiled 

 bj' travel-stain or otherwise; all the ce'ls sealed 

 except the row of cells next the wood. 



No. I. — .'\11 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'assifitd 

 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.

 price. Extracted honey is moving quite lively 

 now. We sell amber honey in barrels at 5^4 to 

 654c, according to quality. White clover honey 

 7 to 85^c Beeswax, 26c.

 again, but there is small demand at present; 

 poor and old honey is hard to sell at all. We 

 quote as follows: New fancy white, 14 to 15c; 

 No. 1 white, 12 to 13c; fancy amber, 10 to lie. 

 Beeswax, 25 to 32c.

R. A. BURNETT & CO., 

 Aug. 3, 1905. 199 So. Water St. 



CHICAGO— Some shipments of new honey are 

 arriving, but demand as yet is not very active. 

 No doubt, a little later will show quite an im- 

 provement, and if producers have any new honey 

 ready for shipment, we advise letting it come 

 forward, as our past experience tells us that the 

 best prices can be realized on early honey. We 

 quote as follows: Fancy while, 12 to 1254c; No. 

 I white, II to I2C; white, extracted, 6 to 654c; 

 amber, 5 to 6c. Beeswax. 28 to 30c.

KA>JS \S CITV-The demand for comb honey 

 seems to be increasing, and the market is firm. 

 Extracted sells slowly as yet, while beeswax 

 moves at 25 to 2Sc per pound. We do not look 

 for much change until the cooler weather sets in; 

 We quote as follows: Fancy white, $1.75 per case. 

 No. I white, 52.50 per case; fancy amber $2.50 per 

 case; white, extracted, to 654c: amber, 55^; dark, 

 4% to 5c per pound.

TOIyEDO — The market on comb honey at this 

 writing is rather quiet on account of the large 

 receipts of ben ies and fruits, we quote fancy 

 white comb, 14 to 15c; No. i, 13 to 14c, with little 

 demand for amber. White extracted in barrels, 

 6 to 654c, cans, 654 to 7c. Amber, extracted, 5 to 

 554c. Beeswax, 26 to 28c. 



On account of the large crop of comb honey 

 this season, the bee-keepers are commencing to 

 offer their crops early, and the out look for this 

 sea.son is veiy fair, and of a good quality.
