Honey & Beeswax Market (Juotations. 



Rules for Grading. 



The following rules for grading honey were 

 adopted by the North Americau 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 thicliness. and flrrnly at- 

 tached to all four sides; both wood and comb 

 unsoiled bv travel-stain, or otherwise; all the 

 cells sealed except the row of cells next the 

 wood. 



No 1 —AH sections well filled, but combs 

 uneven or crooked, detached fi* 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 ternis white, 

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

 cy white." •• No. 1 dark." etc. 



the following Quotations are for Saturday.- 

 Aug. 126. 1893 : 



CHICAGO. III.— 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, 8c.; amber, 7c Bees- 

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



CHICAGO, III.— The receipts of honey are 

 quite liberal; the very best grades are bring- 

 ing 15(aH6c. Thedemand 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. JNeariy 

 all of the new honey is of very fine quality. 

 Bxtracied is bringing from b&7c., according 

 to color, flavor and style of package. Bees- 

 wax is very dull at about 20®"i'^c. 



K. 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. IBc 

 Extracted, as to quality, o@7c. ^ „ „ ^

 wax, 17®! 8c. C.-M.C. Co. 



CINCINNATI. O.— Demand is fair for ex- 

 tracted honey at .5@8c.. with a good supply. 

 Quite a number of small arrivals of nice comb 

 honey found a ready sale during the last lew 

 weeks. Uemand is fair. The close money 

 market causes slow collections and makes it- 

 self felt on the demand of all merchandise, in- 

 cluding honey. „,^,., ^. 1
