AMERICAN BEE JOURNAL. 



Iloiiey & Beeswax Market Quotations. 



Rules for Oradingf. 



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 thicliness, 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 croolsed, detached at |,he 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. 



CHICAGO, III., Dec. 4, 1893.— There were 

 but few shipments of honey to this market 

 last week. The cold we ither started business 

 up, and honey moved some better than here- 

 tofore. Fancy and No. 1 is getting scarce, 

 and prices are on the upward tendency. Fan- 

 cy. 16c.; No. 1 white, 15c.; fair, 14c. Ex- 

 tracted is moving slowly with plenty to 

 satisfy demand. Beeswax, a0@32c. J. A .L. 



CINCINNATI, O.. Dec. 8.— Demand is good 

 for all kinds of honey in the jobbing way, for 

 family use. There is a slow demand from 

 manufacturers. Extracted honey brings 5@ 

 8c.; comb honey sells at 12@16c. a lb, in a 

 jobbing way for best white. 



Beeswax is in fair demand at 20@23c, for 

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



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

 honey brings loc. per lb. Grades not grading 

 first-class aie 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. 



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®! 5c. for California. Extracted 

 lower under free olferiugs from the coast; we 

 quote 5 ^@Gc. for white or amber in five-gal- 

 lon tins. S. & A. 



NEW YORK, N. Y., Nov, 1.— Our market on 

 white honey is weak and sbows 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 etfect sales. We quote: Fancy white, 

 1-lbs., 14c.; 2-lbs.,12c.; fair white, l-lb8.,12o.; 

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

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

 with extracted of all kinds. We quote: White 

 clover and basswood, ()@6'/4c.; California, 554 

 ®Cc. ; Southern. 55@65c. per gallon. 



Beeswax, 24®25c. 11. B. & S. 



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

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

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



CHICAGO, III., Nov. 23. — The Chicago 

 market has plenty of honey, and 14c. seems 

 to be the outside price obtainable. Anything 

 that will not grade strictly No, 1 must be sold 

 at 12®13c. Large quantities have teen sold, 

 but the supply is at present in excess of the 

 demand. Extracted finds ready sale at 6® 

 tj'/4c. for Northern bonev; Southern, in bar- 

 rels. 5c. Beeswax. 22@24c. S. T. F. & Co. 



ALBANY. N. Y.. Nov. 23.— Honey market 

 is easier on light and mixed grades, and firm 

 on buckwheat. Sn^all combs sell at ll^@12c.
