Honey Quotations. 



The following rules for grading )iouey were 

 adopted by the North American Bee Keepers' 

 Association, at its last meeting, and, so far as 

 possible, quotations are made acconling to 

 these rules: 



K.VNCY.— Ml sections to be well filled ; combis 

 straight, of even thickness, and firmly attached 

 to all four sides; both wood and comb nnsoiled 

 by travel-stain, or otherwise ; all the cells sealed 

 except the row of cells next the wood. 



.No. 1.— .Vll sections well filled, but combs un- 

 even or crookeil, detached at the bottom, or 

 with but few cells unsealed : both wood and 

 comb unsoiled by travel stain or otherwise. 



In addition to tins the honey is to \te classified 

 according to color, using the terms white, amber 

 and dii,rk. Tliat is, there will be " fancy white," 

 " No. 1 dark," etc. 



CHIO.\GO. m.— The supply of all grades, ex- 

 cept that of fancy white, is liberal. For this 

 grade there is some inquiry and it brings 18. No. 

 1 white, 15 to 16. Dark or amber is of slow sale 

 and prices are from 10 to 12. Extracted brings 

 from 6 to 9. Beeswax is steady at 22 to 25.

CHICAGO, 111 —There is good demand for 

 fancy whit.e. but there is none in the market and 

 but very little of No. 1 white. White extracted 

 is scarce, owing to the high prices of butter and 

 the severe cold weather. This lias been a favor- 

 able winter for the s ile of honey and the ma'-kets 

 are almost b<ir» of honey of any kind We quote 

 as follows : Fancy white, 1(S to 19; No. 1 white, 

 6; No. 1 amber, l.'J; fancy dark, 12: No. 1 dark, 

 10 ; beeswax. 22 to 25. 



J. A. LAMON, 



Feb. 13. 44 & 4S So. Water St., Chicago, 111. 



MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. - There is a good sup 

 ply on hand but it is mostly dark. This stock is 

 slow, but what little whit« there is on the market 

 moves readily. We quote fnncy white, 17 to 1^: 

 two pound combs, 16 to 17 ; buckwheat, 15 to 16; 

 extracted honey, 10 to 11. 



J. SHEA & CO. 

 Feb. 18. 14 Hennepin Ave., Minneapolis, Minn. 



ALBANY, N. Y.— Stock of honey very light. 

 Prices well sustained Demand will be better 

 as the weather warms up We <iuote as ft)llows : 

 Fancy white. l"i to 17; No. 1 wliite. 14 to 15; 

 mixed, 12 to 14 : fancy dark. 11 to 12 : No 1 dark.

Feb. y.\ :m Bro idwav, Albany. N V . 



KANSAS CITY. Mo.-The supply of extracted 

 honey is light, the demand good. The supply of 

 comb is fair and the demand the same. We 

 quote fancy white, comb, 16 to 17 ; No. 1 white. 1-") 

 to 16; fancy amijer, 15 to 16; No. 1 amber, 14 to 

 15; fancy dark. 12 to 13; No. 1 dark, 10 to 12: 

 white extracted. S; amber 6 to 7; beeswax, verj 

 scarce and brings 22 to 25. 



CLEMONS-M.\SON CO., 



Feb. 13. .V21 Walnut St., Kansas (Mty Mo. 



BUFFALO, N. Y.— Stock of honey very light. 

 Demand moderate. There is no doubt that all 

 honey will clean up with satisfactxiry prices. 

 As a rule, there is a very excellent demand in our 

 market through March and .Vpril. We advise 

 those having honey, to market it now. so that it 

 will be in the hands of dealers when the trade 

 does improve. We quote as follows : Fano.\ 

 white, 17 to 18; No. 1 white, 15 to 16; fancy am- 

 ber, 13 to 14 ; No. 1 amber, 12 to 13 ; fancy dark, 

 10 to 11 ; No. 1 dark, 8 to 9 : beeswax, « to :W. 

 BATTERSON X. CO . 



Feb. 11. 167 & 169 Scott St.. Buffalo, N. Y. 



CINCINNATI, Ohio.— There is a good demand 

 for extracted honey from the jobbing trade for 

 family use, but the demand from manufiicturers 

 is slow. We never had as small a stock on hand 

 as we have now, and unless nnlooked for ship 

 ments arrive we shall be unable to fill our orders 

 for March We solicit early shipments from our 

 friends in the South, as freight rates are now the 

 same on honey as they are on syrups and molas- 

 ses. No. 1 dark comb brings 1(1 to 12: extracted 

 honey 6 to 8 Demand for beeswax is good at 23 

 to 25 for goo<l to choice yellow wax. 



CHAS. F. MUTH&SON., 



Feb. 14. Cincinnati, Ohio. 



NEW YORK. N Y— The stock of comb honey 

 on our market is gradually becoming less. Fancy 

 and No. 1 white are pretty well cleaned up, and 

 there is a fair demand for these grades We 

 would advise the 8hii)ment of these grades, a;^ 

 they will find ready sale during the next 30 days. 

 There is considerable amber and dark on the 

 market and tlio demand is light. Beeswax i- 

 scarce aid prices are advancing. We quote at^ 

 follows: Fancy white, 14 to 16; No. 1 white. 13 

 to 14; fancy amber, 12 to 13: fancy dark, 10: No. 

 1 dark, 9; beeswax. 28 to 29.
