The following 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 filled ; combs 

 straight, of even thickness, and firmly at- 

 tached to all four sides; both wood and comb 

 unsoUed by tr>ivel-staln, or otherwise: all the 

 cells sealed except the row of cells neit the 

 wood. 



No. 1.— All sections well filled, but combs 

 uneven or crooked, detached at the bottom, 

 or with but few cells unsealed: both wood 

 and comb unsoUed by travel-statn or other- 

 wise. 



In addition to this the honey is to be classi- 

 fied according to color, using the terms white, 

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

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



diicag-o. 111., Mar. 19.— Fancy white. 11®

 7c.; fancy dark, 8c.; No, 1, 7c. Extracted, 

 white, oca'c. : amber. 5a6c. ; dark, 4 He Bees- 

 wax, 25@27c. 



Stocks are working down, but there is no 

 improvement in price. The season for comb 

 honey Is drawing to a close. Any one intend- 

 ing to market In the cities should do so now.

 a little better demand tor comb hooey during 

 the last two weeks. Prices, however, will not
