Honey & Beeswax Market Quotations. 



Rules for Grading:. 



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 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 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. 



CHICAGO. Iiiii.— 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, 5@7c. Beeswax slow at 20c. 



Sept. 14, J. A. L. 



CHICAGO, III., Sept. 15.— The receipts of 

 comb honey have not been in excess of the 

 demand up to this date. We have yet very 

 little surplus. Prices remain at 15@16c. for 

 the very best grades. Discolored combs and 

 the darker grades generally are slow of sale 

 at about 14c. Our sales, however, are chiefly 

 at 15c. We consider this about the best sea- 

 son of the year for shipping and selling comb 

 honey. It stands transportation better than 

 It will when the cold weather comes, and 

 people buy it in larger quantities than they 

 do later in the fall. Extracted is nominal, 

 some sales being made all the time at prices 

 ranging from 6@7c., with some other dark 

 goods a little lower. Beeswax salable at "iSc. 

 We would advise those having honey ready to 

 ship, to send it forward during this month, or 

 early next. R. A. B. & Co. 



St. PAUL & MINNEAPOLIS. Minn., Sept" 

 12.— The receipts of honey are quite liberal, es- 

 pecially the last two weeks. A great deal of 

 Wisconsin comb honey has arrived and is In 

 very good condition; this Is being sold at 13!^ 

 ®1()C. ; the lower price being for darker hon- 

 ey, which, however, does not meet with an ac- 

 tive Inquiry. California 1-lb. sections selling 

 at 14(g>lt)c. Two or three carloads of ex- 

 tracted honey have recently arrived, and sold 

 at 0^@7c., there being little or no dltference 

 between white and amber as to price obtained 

 in this market. The best season for comb honey 

 is now coming on. S. & A. 



CINCINNATI, O.— Demand is lair for ex- 

 tracted honey at 3®8c., with a good supply. 

 Quite a number of small arrivals of nice comb 

 honey found a ready sale during the last few 

 weeks. Demand is lair. The close money 

 market causes slow collections and makes It- 

 self felt oil the demand of all merchandise. In- 

 cluding hoaey. 



Beeswax- Demand fair, at 20@2;{c for good 

 to choice yellow. Supply good. C. F. M. & S. 



BOSTON, Mass. — Fancy white. 16@18c,; 

 No. 1 white, 15@16c. Extracted, white. 7@8c. ; 

 amber, 6^@7c. Beeswax, 25@28c. B. & R. 



KANSAS CITY, Mo.— We quote: No. 1 

 white. 16@17c. ; No. 1 amber, 14@15c.; fancy 

 dark, 12@13c. ; No. 1 dark, 10@12c. Extract-

 wax, 17@18c. C.-M. C. Co. 



KANSAS CITY. Mo., Sept. 14.— Demand is 

 good. Supply light. We quote: 1-lb. comb, 

 16c.; light weight. 14e. Extracted, white, 

 7i4c. ; amber, 6i4c. ; dark, 5@5^c. 



Beeswax, 22@25c. H. & B. 



NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 12,— Our market 

 remains quiet. New comb honey is arriving 

 freely, and the demand is rather light. We 

 quote: Fancy white. 1 lb. sections, 14@15c, 

 Off grades irregular and in no demand. Ex- 

 tracted is selling slow at from 60@65c. per gal- 

 lon for Southern, and 5?i@6c. per pound for 

 Californian. Beeswax dull at 23@24c. 



H.B. &S. 



ALBANY, N. Y— Our honey market is 

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

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

 white, 754@8c. ; mixed, 7c.; dark, 6@6'/^c. 

 White extracted honey should be marketed 

 now while there is a demand for bottling, 

 that is not later on when weather is cold and 

 the honey chilled. 



Beeswax, 25@27c. H. R. W. 



CHICAGO, III.— 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^®7c., depending upon the 

 color, flavor and style of package, and quan- 

 tity the buyer will take. Beeswax, 22@24c. 

 We have no stock on hand. S. T. F. ii Co.
