THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



THE POOREST SECTIONS THAT MAY BE PUT IN THE GRADE NAMED

NUMBER TWO 



HONEY QUOTATIONS 



As predicted in the October Review, the demand for honey the past month has 

 been m,uch better than in September. More requests are coming to this office from 

 buyers, and the quotations given below show a healthier tone. There is no appar- 

 ent reason for a reduction in price, and the demands during November should be 

 even better than in October. 



Comb honey should be hustled to market this month if possible. There is 

 danger of shipping in cold weather. There should be no reduction in price, how- 

 ever, as the demand is good and the market should be able to handle all that is 

 offered. 



BOSTON — Fancy white comb honey, 16c to 

 17c. No. 1 white comb honey, 15c to 16c. 

 Fancy white extracted honey, 10c to lie. 

 Light amber extracted honey, 9c to 10c. Am- 

 ber, 8c to 9c. Wax, 30c.

NEW YORK— We have a fairly good de- 

 mand for white comb honey at prices ruling 

 about the same, that is, fancy white 15c, with 

 some exceptionally fine lots which will bring 

 16c; No. 1 white at 14c; No. 2 white and light 

 amber around 13c; mixed and buckwheat at 

 from 10c to 12c, according to quality. Buck- 

 wheat honey seems to be rather scarce, the 

 crop evidently did not turn out as large as 

 expected. Extracted in fair demand for all 

 grades; white clover selling at around Syic to 

 9c; light amber at 8c, and amber at from 7c to 

 7j4c. West Indian arriving quite freely and 

 selling at from 75c to 85c per gallon, accord- 

 ing to quality. Beeswax quiet at 30c.
