AMERICAN BEE JOURNA^L. 



Honey & Beeswax Market Quotations. 



Rules for Oradingf. 



The following rules for grading- honey 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 flll6»d; combs 

 straight, of even thickness, and firmly at- 

 tached to all four sides; both wood and coml) 

 unsoiled by travel-stain, or otherwise; all the 

 cells sealed except the row of cells next 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 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, 

 Sept. 2, 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.— We are having free re- 

 ceipts of honey and our sales are quite good. 

 Up to now we have had very littio surplus. 

 Prices are 15@J.bc. for the best grades. Dis- 

 colored combs and the darker grades gener- 

 ally are not meeting with any demand. Ex- 

 tracted honey sells at o@»7c., according to the 

 color, flavor and style of package. Beeswax, 

 20@22c. R. A. B. & Co. 



CHICAGO, 111.— We quote: Fancy selling 

 at 16c.; choice, 15c,; No, 2, 13@14c. ; poor, 

 12c. With prospects of a large crop, we ad- 

 vise early shipments to the market. Extracted 

 selling at from 5 i4@7c., depending upon the 

 coloi", flavor and style of package, and quan- 

 tity the buyer will take. Beeswax, 22(a>24c.

 tracted honey at 5@8o., with a good supply. 

 Quite a number ol small arrivals of nice comb
