GRADING-RUmS. 



Fanot.— All gections to be well filleci, combs straight, firm- 

 I7 attached to all four sides, the combs nnsoiled by travels 

 jtaln or otherwise ; all the cells sealed ezceot an occasional 

 sell, the outside surface of the wood well scraped of propolis. 



ANo. 1.— All sections well filled except the row of cells 

 next to the wood ; combs straight : one-eighth part of comb 

 larfacf soiled or the entire surface slightly soiled . the out- 

 tide of the wood well scraped of propolis. 



No. 1— All sections well filled except the row of cells next 

 io the wood ; combs comparatively even ; one-eighth part of 

 9omb surface soiled, or the entire surface slightly soiled. 



No. 2.— Three-fourths of the total surface most be filled 

 <uid sealed. 



No. 3,— Mast weigh at least half as much as a full-weight 

 teotion. 



In addition to this the honey is to be classified according 

 iio color, asing the terms white, amber, and dark ; that :,3. 

 Hbme will be '^Fanoy White," " No. I Dark." etc. 



Toledo.— The market in comb honey remains rather 

 quiet. Stock is pretty well cleaned up now. On account 

 of the strawberry season, demand is very light. Fancy 

 white clover would bring 16; No. 1, 15. Extracted white 

 clover in barrels brings 6V2 and 7; cans the same; am- 

 ber in barrels brings 5 to bVi; cans the same. Beeswax 

 is firm at 28 and 30. Griggs Brothers, 



June 9. Toledo, Ohio. 



Chicago.— The honey market is in about the same 

 condition as when we last quoted: very little call for 

 either comb or extracted. White comb. No. 1, 15; other 

 grades, 10 to 14. Extracted white, 6V2 to 7; amber, 5 

 to 6. Beeswax, 30. R. A. Burnett & Co , 



June 5. 199 South Water St., Chicago, 111. 



Milwaukee.— We continue to quote honey, fancy 

 1-lb. sections, 16 to 18; off grades nominal, 8 to 10; ex- 

 tracted in barrels,cans, and pails, free from acid, 7 to 8; 

 amber dark, nominal, 6 to 7. Beeswax, 26 and 30. 

 A. V. Bishop & Co., 



May 27. 119 Buffalo St.. Milwaukee, Wis. 



Kansas City.— The honey market here remains a lit- 

 tle dull on account of there being very little honey here, 

 and no demand. We believe the first new honey will 

 sell at $3.25 to $3 50, for 24-section white comb. Some 

 little honey is beginning to move now. Extracted is 

 dull, and price cuts very little figure in movement of 

 same. C. C. Clbmons & Co , 



June 9. Kansas City, Mo. 



Philadelphia.— There is no new honey arriving in this 

 market as yet, and so few lots of old honey sold that we 

 can not establish any price. Some little lots of South- 

 em extracted honey have arrived in barrels. We quote: 

 New Southern honey, light amber, 6V2; amber, 6. Bees- 

 wax selling freely at 29. We are producers of honey 

 and do not handle on commission. Wm. A. Selser, 



June 11. 10 Vine St., Philadelphia. Pa. 



Atlanta. — As the season advances it develops that 

 there is a better crop than was first reported. Comb 

 honey is coming more freely; however, we are finding a 

 ready market for it at the following prices: Fancy 

 white, 12Vo to 14; A No. 1, 12 to 13: No. 1, 10 to 11. Ex- 

 tracted is going slowly at 6V2 to 7 for white, and about 

 1 ct. less for amber. Beeswax, 28 to 30. 



JuDSON Heard & Co.. 



June 11. Atlanta, Ga. 



Buffalo.— There is very little demand for honey 

 now. There is no white comb here. If there were it 

 would sell well at about 15; some candied and No. 2, al- 

 so Fome dark comb here; but trade buys only a little 

 when forced to get some. There will not be much more 

 trade for honey until new commences to come. 



June 13. W. C. Townsend, Buffalo, N. Y. 



St. Louis.— Since our last there is no change noticea- 

 ble in our honey market. It is very dull on all grades 

 except that there is a good demand for choice new 

 comb honey. We quote: Fancy white comb, 14 to I4V2; 

 No. 1. 13 to 13K': amber 12 to I2V2; extracted California 

 light amber, 6 to t>Vt>, according to condition and quanti- 

 ty; Spanish needle, 6I2 to 7; Southern in barrels, old, 4 

 to 4%; new, 4V2 to 4?4; in cans, 5 to 5^2 for old, and 6 for 

 new. Beeswax, prime, 29V2; all impure and inferior, 

 less. R. Hartmann & Co., 



June 12. St. Louis, Mo. 



Detroit.— Very little honey in market, and demand is 

 light; but prices are ruling rather high. Comb honey, 

 A No. 1 and No. 1, 16: extracted, 7 to 7V2, with very lit- 

 tle demand. Beeswax. 28 to 30c. No prospect of any 

 change until new crop is in. M. H. Hunt & Son,
