Honey Quotations. 



The following rules for grading honey were 

 adopted by the North American Bee ■ Keepers' 

 Association, at its last meeting, 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 attached 

 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 un- 

 even or crooked, detached at the bottom, or 

 with but few cells unsealed ; both wood and 

 comb unsoiled by travel stain or otherwise. 



In addition to tliis the honey is to be classified 

 according to color, using the terms white, amber 

 and dark. That is, there wiU be " fancy white," 

 "No. 1 dark,'' etc. 



BUFFALO, N.Y.— Fancy is in good demand 

 and stock is light; dark is dull with a liberal 

 supply on hand. We quote as follows : fancy 

 white, 18 to 19 ; No. 1 white, 16 to 17 ; fancy 

 dark, 10 to 11 ; No. 1 dark, 9 to 9Va ; white ex- 

 tracted. 9 to 10; amber extracted, 8(4 to 9; dark 

 extracted, 7 to 8 ; beeswax, 25 to 'M.

Mar.6 167 & 169 Scott St., Buffalo, N. Y. 



CHICAGO, ILL, —The long winter, being fa- 

 vorable to tlie honey business, has left our mar- 

 kets almost bare of the best grades of both comb 

 imd extracted honey, and we are having a better 

 demand and obtaining better prices tlian at any 

 previous time tliis season. Dark comb honey is 

 a poor article for tliis market and we would ad- 

 vise its disposal in the homo markets where the 

 producer will not have to contend with the idea 

 that dark comb honey is not so pure as the 

 white. We (juoteas follows: fancy white, 18; No. 

 1 white. 16; fimcy amber, 14 ; fancy dark, 13 ; 

 white extracted, 9 ; amber extracted, 8 ',4 ; dark 

 extracted, 7 to 7'/s; beeswax. 22 to 25, 



J. A. LAMON, 



Mar. 6. 44 <t 48 So. Water St., Chicago, 111. 



MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. - There is a good suj) 

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

 slow, but what little wliite there is on the market 

 moves readily. We (jnote fancy white, 17 to 18; 

 two pound combs. 16 to 17 ; buckwlieat, 15 to 16 : 

 extracted honey, 10 to 11.

(;HICA(iO, 111 —The offerings of the best grades 

 are light and those having any to sell should

 white, 18; No.l white, 16 to 17 ; fancy amber, 

 13;No.l amber 10 to 12; fancy dark, 10; white 

 extracted, 7 to 9 ; amber extracted, 7 to 8; dark

NEW YORK.— There is a fair demand for 

 comb honey, and supplies are light. Fancy 

 white and No. 1 white would find ready sale 

 this month. Beeswax is scarce and in good 

 demand. We quote as follows : No. 1 white, 

 13 to 14 ; fancy amber, 12 to 13 ; fancy dark, 10 : 

 No.l dark, 9; amber extracted. 7 to VA; dark 

 extracted. 6 to 6>2 ; beeswax, 28 to :}0. 



HILDRETH BROS. & SEGELKEN, 



Mar. 6. 28 «& 30 West Broadway New York. 



KANS.AS CITY, Mo.-The demand for extract 

 ed honey is good and the supply light. The sup- 

 ply of comb honey is fair a d the demand the 

 same. Shipments of No. 1 would meet with very 

 ready sale. We quote as follows: No. 1 white, 

 16 to 17 ; fancy amber, 15 to 16; No. 1 amber 13 

 to 14 ; fancy dark, 12 to 13 ; No. 1 dark, 10 to 11 ;

 beeswax, 22 to 25. 



CLEMONS-MASON CO., 



Mar. 6. 521 Walnut St., Kansas City Mo. 



CINCINNATI, Ohio,— There is a good demand 

 for extracted honey from the jobbing trade for 

 family use, but the demand from manufacturers 

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

 as we have now, and unless unlooked 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 sjTupsand molas- 

 ses. No. 1 dark comb brings 10 to 12 ; extracted 

 honey 6 to 8 Demand for beeswax is good at 23 

 to 25 for good to choice yellow wax.

FOR SALE ^ 



My bees have never wintered more per- 

 fectly than they have thus far this season — 

 not a sign of dysentery, and when I swept up 

 the dead bees in the cellar the other day for 

 the first time, there was only half a pint of 

 dead bees to the colony. I have more bees 

 than I can care for and run the Review, and 

 I should be glad to sell a few full colonies 

 in the new Heddon hive at $0.00 per colony; 

 5 for $28.,'J0 : 10 or more, ^.^..W each. All 

 queens are pare Italians of last year's 

 rearing. W. Z. Hutohinbon, Flint Mich.
