Honey & Beeswax Market (Juotatiims. 



Rules for Oradiiig:. 



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 

 tkese 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; ail the 

 cells sealed except the row of cells next the 

 wood. 



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

 uneven or crooked, detaciied 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 Avill be " fan- 

 cy white.'' ■' No. 1 dark," etc. 



The following Quotations are for Saturday, 

 Sept. 9. 189.S : 



CHICAGO. III.— Comb honey is coming in 

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

 White extracted scarce with plentj' of inquiry 

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

 1 wliite 1.5c.; fancy amber, 14c.; No. 1 amber. 

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

 wax doesn't move at anj' 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 little surplus. 

 Prices are 15@16c. for the best grades. Dis- 

 colored combs and the darker grades gener- 

 ally are not meeting with any demand. Ex- 

 tracted honey sells at 5@7c., according to the 

 color, flavor and stj'le of package. Beeswax, 

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



NEW YORK, N. i".— Our market remains 

 very quiet. Extracted continues to arrive 

 freely; the market is well supplied, and the 

 demand is light. We quote: Southern, com- 

 mon, bOc. per gallon; fair to choice, 65@7oc. 

 per gallon; California, 6@6^c. per lb. No 

 new comb honey on the market as yet. Bees- 

 wax, gradually declining; 25c. for good yel- 

 low at present. H. B. & S.

 steady. We quote: White comb, 15@16c. ; 

 mixed, 13@14c. ; dark, ll@12c. Extracted, 

 white, 7(4@8c.; mixed, 7c.; dark. 6®6;4c.

 that is not later on when weather is cold and 

 the honev chilled.
