Honey (Juotations 



The following rules for grading honey were 

 adopted 1 3' the North Ameiican B-e-K.eepers' 

 Association, at the Washington meeling, and, so 

 far as possible, quotations are made according to 

 these rules: 



Fancy— All sections to be well filled; combs 

 straittht, of even thickness, and tirnily 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 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 



ger cent ; except that a few dealers charge only 

 ve per cent, when a shipment sells for as much 

 as one hundred dollars. 



BUFFAIvO— Really fancy honey is selling well 

 and receipts are modeiate. Other grades move 

 fairly well We advise moderate shipments of 

 all grades. We quote as follows: Fancy white, 

 [13 to 14c; No. I white, 11 to 12c; fancy amber, 

 9 to toe; No. I amber g to loc; fancy dark 9 

 and 10; No. i dark, 8 to 9c; white extiacted, 7 to 

 8c; amber extracted, 6 to 7c; dark extracted, 6 to 

 7c. Beeswax 28 to 32c.

CINCINNATI— Reports from different parts of 

 the country give evidence of an almost total 

 failure in the comb honey crop excepting some 

 points in the North. We are selling this

 by the case. 



The demand extracted honey is about equal to 

 the receipts, which are good. We continue to 

 sell amber in barrels at 5}{ to 6c. White clover

CHICAGO— Trade on comb honey up to a week 

 ago has been veay satisfactory. We don't look 

 for a very heavy trade until after the first of the 

 year, as jobbers are aiming to reduce their stocks 

 in order to take inventory on Jan. ist. 



Our stock here at pre'sent time is not very 

 large and we can handle any honey still in pro- 

 ducers hands at satisfactory prices. 



Drop us a line and tell us what you have to offer 

 in comb or extracted. We quote as follows: 

 Fancy while, 15c; No. i while, 13c to 14c; No. i 

 amber, iic to 12c; white, extracted, 6 to 7c; amber, 

 5C to 6c. Beeswax 28 to 30c.
