Honey & Beeswax Market (juotatioiis. 



Rules for Oradiiig:. 



The following rules for grading- lioney were 

 adopted by the North American Bee-Keepers' 

 Association, at its last meeting, and, so far as 

 possible, quotations 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 

 unsoiled by travel-stain, or otherwise; all tbe 

 cells sealed except the row of cells next the 

 wood. 



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

 uneven or croolied, 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 be classi- 

 fied according to color, using the terms white, 

 amber and dark. That is. there will be ''fan- 

 cy white,'' •• No. 1 dark," etc. 



The following Quotations are for Saturday, 

 Aug. 19. 189.T : 



^ CHICAGO. Ilij.— Comb honey is coming in 

 plentifully— most of it fancy and No. 1 white. 

 White extracted scarce with plenty of inquiry 

 for same. We quote: Fancy white, 16c. ; No. 

 1 white 15c.; fancy amber, 14c.; No. 1 amber, 

 14c. Extracted, white, 8o.; amber, 7c Bees- 

 wax doesn't move at any price. J. A. L.G 



CHICAGO. III.— The receipts of honey are 

 quite liberal; the very best grades are bring- 

 ing 1.5@16c. The demand just now is hardly 

 equal to the supply, and we are receiving- 

 many inquiries concerning the market. We 

 are of the opinion that it will not be any 

 higher but may go lower, as money is very 

 scarce and people seem to economize in the 

 way of honey purchases. The darker grades 

 are not meeting with any demand. Nearly 

 all of the new honey is of very flue quality. 

 Extracted is bringing from 5@7c., according 

 to color, flavor and style of package. Bees- 

 wax is very dull at about 20@22c. 



R. A. B. &Co. 



CHICAGO, III,.— Honey this year is being 

 placed on the market earlier than last season, 

 but the demand is restricted and will be light 

 until small fruits are out of the market, and 

 with the prospect of a large crop, buyers will 

 be particular as to quality, and the best will 

 find ready sale upon arrival. No. 1 comb, 16c 

 Extracted, as to quality, .5@7c.
