HONEY and BEESWAX 



MAKKET <HJOTATIO.^'S. 



The t'oUowlag rules for grading- honey were 

 adopted by the North American Bee-Keepers' 

 Association, and. so far as possible, quota- 

 tions are made according to these rules: 



Fancy.— All sections to be well fllled ; combs 

 straight, of even thickness, and firmly at- 

 tached 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. 1.— All sections well fllled. but combs 

 uneven or crooked, detached at the bottom, 

 or with but few cells unsealed: both wood 

 and comb unsoiled by travel-stain or other- 

 wise. 



In addition to this the honey Is to he claesl- 

 fled according to color, using the terms white, 

 amber and dark. That Is. there will be "fancy 

 white," "No. 1 dark." etc.

 No. 1.10® lie.: fancy amber. Si39c.; No. 1, 

 7c.: fancy dark. T@8c. ; No. 1, 7c. Ex- 

 tracted, white, 5@7c. : amber. 5@6c. ; dark, 

 4(a5c. Beeswax, 25@26c. 



Very little demand, considering season of 

 the vear.

 i:ic.; No. 1. 11-12C.; fancy dark. 7-8c.; No.l, 

 6-7c.; Extracted, white. .T^i-ec; dark. 4-5c, 



The honey market Is very quiet and stock 

 moving very slowly, even at rednced prices. 

 White clover is not plentiful. Extracted is 

 moving very slowly, but we hope for an im- 

 proved demand soon. 



Indianapolis, Ind., Peb. 20.— Fancy white. 

 ll-loc: No. 1 white. 12-iac. Extracted, 

 white. 6- 7c. Beeswax. 22-25c.

 @25c. 



There Is not very much honey in our mar- 

 ket. Selling rather slow. Demand beginning 

 to be a little better. Think trade will be fair 

 in this line this fall.

 mand is slow for all kinds of honey. 



Beeswax Is in fair demand at 22@25c. for 

 good to choice yellow. 



HewTork, N. Y ,Peb. 20.— There has been 

 a little better demand for comb honey during 

 the last two weeks. Prices, however, will not 

 improve, as the season is too far advanced 

 and plenty of stock laying on the market. 

 We have a good demand for extracted buck- 

 wheat, candied, and bee-keepers having their 

 crop on hand yet, should now market It, 



Beeswax is quiet at 2e 28c., according to 

 quality. 



Minneapolis, Minn., Peb. 20. — Fancy 

 white. ll®12c.; No. 1 white, 10@llc.; fancy

 2(3c, Market fairly steady for comb and bet- 

 ter for extracted than for some time. 



Buffalo, N, Y , Mar, 5,— Demand a little 

 better, but lOc. cnntlnues the prevailing 

 price for strictly fancy 1-pound comb. Occa- 

 sionally lie. perhaps. In a peddling way. 

 Other grades range from 8@4c„ as to kind 

 and quality, etc. Extracted. 4@5c.
