Ildiiey k Beeswax Market Quotations. 



Rules for Orading:. 



The loHowing 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 lo be well filled ; combs 

 straight, of even thickness, and firmly at- 

 tached to all four sides; both wood and comb 

 unsoiled bv 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. Ills., Nov. 9, 189.3.— The receipts 

 of comb honey in October v/ere very heavy, 

 ranging from amber to No. ] white comb. 

 Very little fancy finds its way to this market, 

 still we received some last week We have 

 had a good fall trade with good prices, Busi- 

 ness is slacking off some, out we anticipate 

 good tiade ag;iin just before the holidays. 

 We predict this to be the best season ever 

 known for this market. We are selling ex- 

 tracted readily at prices somewhat lower 

 than was expected at the beginning of the 

 season, but sales are heavier. Wequote: Fan- 

 cy and No. 1 comb, 15c.; No. 2 and fancy 

 amber, 13(ai4c.; dark. 10@12c. Extracted, 

 C>&7c. Beeswax, 18(a22c. J. A. L. 



CHICAGO. III., Nov. 1.— Fancy white comb 

 honey brings 15c. per lb. Grades not grading 

 first-class at 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@13c. 

 Extracted ranges from 5@7c., according to 

 color, quality, flavor and style of package. 

 The trade in honey has been large this season.
