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 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. 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., Nov. 1.— Fancy white comb 

 houey briugs 15c. per lb. Grades not grading 

 first-class ai e not selling at over 14c., as there 

 has been quite a quantity of California honey 

 received here, and is offered at 14c. The 

 quality is superior to most of that we receive. 

 Dark comb honey sells slowly at 12@13o. 

 Extracted ranges from 5@7c., according to 

 color, quality, flavor and style of packaae. 

 The trade in honey has been large this season. 



Beeswax, 22c. K. A. B. & 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 unchanged. We quote best white comb 

 honey 14®15c. 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 FORK, N. Y., Nov, 1.— Our market oq 

 white houey is weak and shows no activity. 

 Supply is plenty, arrivals are large, and the 

 demand Is light. Hence prices have a down- 

 ward tendency and concessions have to be 

 made to effect sales. We quote: Fancy white, 

 1-lbs., 14c.; 2-1 bs., 12c.; fair white, 1-lbs. ,12c.; 

 2-lb8., lie. ; buckwheat is scarce— 1-lbs., 11® 

 12c.; 2-lbs., 10c. The market is well stocked 

 with extracted of all kinds. We quote : White 

 clover and basswood, ti@6!4c.; California, 5 Vi 

 ®6c. ; Southern, 55@65c. per gallon. 



Beeswax, 24@23c. H. B. & S. 



«OSTON, Mass., Oct. 9.— We quote honey 

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

 tracted, ()@7c. BeesVax, 25@28c. B. & K. 



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

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

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

 killing demagogues seem to bear heavy on all 

 kinds of manufacture. 



Beeswax is in fair demand with plentiful 

 arrivals at 20®2;ic. a pound for good to choice 

 yellow. C. F. M. & S. 



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- 

 ed, 6^®7c.; amber, 5i4@6c. ; dark, 5c. Bees- 

 wax, 17®18c. C.-M. C. Co. 



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

 good. Supply light. Wequote: 1-lb. comb, 

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

 7^c. ; amber, 6!4c. ; 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@-.i8c. H. K. W. 



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®14}4c. 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@6i4c.

Convention IIa.<lg:es. — There are 

 about forty of the beautiful Badges left 

 over, of those used at the recent meeting of 

 the North American. These we offer as 

 "souvenirs" of the Columbian meeting. 

 Price, postpaid, 15 cents each, or two for 

 35 cents. Whatever is realized on the sale 

 of these Badges will be turned into the 

 treasury of the Association. Don't you 

 want one, reader, to keep as a memento, 

 even though you were not fortunate enough 

 to be present ? They are red, with pin at 

 the back, and neat bow of white and blue 

 ribbon at the top. It is a patriotic Badge, 

 as you will note that red, white and blue 

 are represented in its make-up. Better 

 have this neat and pretty souvenir.
