Honey Quotations. 



The followiuK rules for KnidinR honey were 

 adopted by the North American Bee Keepers' 

 Association, at its Washin^rton meeting, and, so 

 far as possible, quotations are uiade according 

 to these rules. 



Fancy.— All sections to be well filled ; coml)8 

 traight, of even thickness, and tirnily attached 

 to all four sides ; botli wood and combnnsoiled 

 l)y travel-stain, or otlierwise ; all the cells sealed 

 except the row of cells next the wood. 



No. 1.— All sections well tilled, but combs un- 

 even or crooked, detacliecl at the bottom, or 

 with but few cells unsealed; both wood and 

 comb uusoiled by travel stain or otherwise. 



In addition to this the honey is to be classified 

 accordingto color, using tiie terms white, amber 

 and dark. That is, there will he " fancy white," 

 .So. 1, dark." etc. 



CLKVKIv.A.ND, O. — We quote as follows:

 auilnrr, 10 to 11; Xo. i amber, 9 to 10; white, ex-

ni'FF.ALO, N. Y. —The honey season may 

 be considered closed for the present. A few 

 stray lots of old honey arc selling at from 6 to S 

 cents. There is no strictly fancy here. A little 

 would probably bring 11 or 12 cents. Some 

 fancy pure l)eeswax is wanted at at>out 30 cents 

 per pound in small cakes.

BUF,FA1,0. N. Y. — Honey has sold slower since 

 the first of January than I ever knew it to sell at 

 this time of the year. I quote as follows: fancy 

 white. 1 1 '-2 to 12; No. i white, 1 1 to 11 J4; fancy 

 aiulnrr. 10 to 11 ; No. i amber, 9 to 10; fancy dark, 

 8 to «'i: white, extracted, 7 to 7J^; amber, 6 to 7;

W. C. TOWNSEND, 

 Jan. 25. 86 We.st Market St., Buffalo. N. Y. 



CHICAGO, 111.— During the hot weather the 

 demand for comb honey is restricted, and we do 

 not advise consignments until .\\igust. The de- 

 mand for e.xtracted honev is good, but there is no 

 stock on the market, and good i)rices can l)e ob- 

 tained. « )ur receipts so far are selling at 8 cts. a 

 pound. Beeswax is 28 cts. a jxsund. We always 

 follow instructions.

NEW YORK. — There is a very good demand 

 for extracted honev of all kinds, excepting 

 buckwheat. There is some demand for comb, 

 and enough of the new crop isarriving from the 

 .South to meet demand. Beeswax is dull. We 

 quote as follows: Fancy white. 12; No. 1 white, 

 10: fancy anilter, q: faiicy dark, 654; No. 1 dark, 

 6; white, extracteci, 754: aml)er 6^ t07;dark; s'A; 

 beeswax, 25 to 26.

 fancy dark, 9; No. i dark, 7 to 8: white extracted,

R. A. BURNETT & Co., 



163 So. Water St., Chicago, 111. 



KANSAS CITY.— There is no white comb hon- 

 ey in the market. If there were it would bring 

 13 cts. We quote as follows: Fancy white, 15; 

 No. I white, 14; faucv amber, 13; No. i amber, 

 i2'.i; fancy dark, 12; white, extracted, 6; amber 5;

C. C. CI^EMONS CO., 

 June 13. 423 Walnut St., Kan.sas City, Mo. 



NEW YORK, N. Y.— Our market has never 

 been in better condition, for handling both hon- 

 ey and wax, so far as stock in hand is concerned. 

 We would suggest to Southern shippers of ex- 

 tracted honey the advi.-iability of letting it come 

 forward. At this writing we have en route sev- 

 eral shipments of new. Southern extracted. 



Our market has dropped off slightly on wax, 

 although there is a steady demand. 



We do not expect much more trade in comb 

 honey until the new crop begins to arrive in early 

 fall. We quote as follows : Fancy white, i2'/4 to 

 i3'/2; No. 1, white, 1 1 "/j to 12; fair white, g'/2 to 10^ 

 fancy buckwheat, 8 to 9: No. i buckwheat, 7 to 8: 

 fair buckwheat, 6J4 to 7. 



Extracted honey, Florida white, yj^ to 7%; 

 light, amber, 654 to 7; amber, 6 to 6^1. Other 

 Southern, fancy, per gallon, 65 to 70; fair, 60 to 

 65; good, 5254 to 58. Beeswax, 27 to 28. 



Write us before shipping.
