AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. 



Honey & Beeswax Market Quotations. 



Rules for Orading:. 



The following rules for grading honey were 

 adopted by the North American Bee-Keepers' 

 Association, in Washington, and, so far as 

 possible, quotations are made according to 

 these rules: 



Fancy.— All sections to be well filled; combs 

 straight, of even thicJiness, and firmly at- 

 tached to all four sides; both wood and comb 

 unsoiled by travel-stain, or otherwise; ail tbe 

 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 darli. That is, there will be '• fan- 

 cy white.'' " No. 1 dark," etc. 



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, 5@7c. Beeswax slow at 20c. 



Sept. 14, J. A. L. 



CHICAGO, III., Sept. 1.5.— 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 I5@16c. for 

 the very best grades. Discolored combs and 

 the darlier grades generally are slow of sale 

 ataoout 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(g*7o., with some other dark 

 goods a little lower. Beeswax salable at :i2c. 

 We would advise those having honey ready to 

 ship, to send it forward during this month, or 

 early next. R. A. li. & Co. 



St. PAUL, Minn.. Oct. 9.— Our market for 

 comb honey is improving, and receipts since 

 our last report have moved off fairly well, 

 prices unchangea. We quote best white comb 

 houey 14@15o. for California. Extracted 

 lower under free offerings from the coast; we 

 quote 5i4@6c. for white or amber in five-gal- 

 lon tins. S. & A. 



NEW YOKK, N. Y., Oct. 10.— Comb honey is 

 in fair demand for fancy stock. Supply is 

 large. Wo quote: Fancy white, 14@15c. for 

 1-lb. and 12(6il3c. for 2-lb. sections. Demand 

 for ofl' grades is very light and slow selling at 

 12@12!4c. for 1-lb. wnd lie. for 2-lb. sections. 

 Buckwheat scarce and in good demand at 11 

 @12c. for 1-lb. and luc. for 2-lb. sections. 



The market on extracted is quiet, with 

 plenty of supply. We quote: White clover 

 and basswood, 6@C'/4c.; California, 5 '/i@6c.; 

 sHouthern, OoQiVOc. for choice and 5o@60c. for 

 common, per gallon. Beeswax is in fair de- 

 mand at 23®25c. H. B. & S. 



BOSTON, Mass., Oct. 9.— We quote honey 

 M selling fairly well. Best white at 15c. Ex- 

 tracted, 6@7c. Beeswax, 25®28c. B. & K. 



KANSAS CITY. Mo.— We quote: No. 1 

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

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

 Kic. ; light weight. 14c. Extracted, white, 

 7'Ac. ; amber. BVsC. ; dark, 5@5'/4c. 



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



ALBANY, N. Y.. Oct. 26.-Honey market is 

 firm, especially for medium grades of small 

 comb, buckwheat and mixed honey being a 

 scarcity of that grade. Fancy white selling 

 at 15c.; mixed. 13@l4c.; dark, ll@l2c. Ex- 

 tracted slow, all grades. 



Beeswax-26@-.:;8c. H. R. W. 



CINCINNATI. O.. Oct. 23.— Demand is fair 

 for best white comb honey at 14@16c. There 

 is a slow demand for extracted ai 5@8c. Time 

 killing demagogues seem to bear heavy on all 

 kinds of manufacture. 



Beeswax is in fair demand with plentiful 

 arrivals at 20@23c. a pound for good to choice 

 yellow. U. F. M. & S. 



CHICAGO, III., Oct. 18.— The limited de- 

 mand for comb honey does not permit our 

 quoting it above 15c., with no sales of white 

 selling below 14@14i4c. The stock that we 

 have received this year is of fine quality. 

 Honey should be sent to market at once, so 

 as to be received before the cold weather sets 

 in. Extracted selling at 6(a6V4c.
