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 weU 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.— .\11 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 this the honey is to be classified 

 according to color, using the terms white, amber 

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

 " No. 1 dark," etc. 



KANSAS CITY, Mo.— We quote as follows: 



No. 1 white, 15 to 16 ; No. 1 amber, 13 to 14; No. 1 



dark, 10 to 12 ; white extracted, 6Vi to 7 ; amber 



extracted, 6 ; dark extracted, 5. Beeswax, 20 to ^.

CHICAGO.Ill.— Honey.— The limited demand 

 for comb honey does not permit our quoting it 

 above 16c, with no sales oi white selling below 

 14 to uy%. The stock that we have received this 

 year is of fine quality, and we advise forwarding 

 to market at once, so as to be received here be- 

 fore the cold weather sets in. Extracted is sell- 

 ing at 6 to 6 Vs. Beeswax, 23. 



Oct. 18. S. T. FISH & Co., 



189 So. Water St., Chicago, 111. 



BUFFALO, N. Y.— Honey is moving very slow- 

 ly, but the demand will no doubt soon increase. 

 Stock is light for this time of the year. We liave 

 orders for seviral tons of buckwheat honey 

 which we can place at about Id f's. We quote 

 as follows : fancy white, 14 to 15: No. 1 white. 12 

 to 13; fancy dark, 10 to 11; No. 1 dark. 8r<>9; 

 white extractfd, 7 1o 8; dark, 5 to 6. Befeswax, 

 25 to 30.

CHICAGO III. — There is plenty of honey com- 

 ing in and plenty of buyers for fancy stock. 

 There is good demand for white extracted which 

 is becoming scarce. Some inquiry for beeswax. 

 Honey has sold well this fall. We quote as fol- 

 lows : fancy white, 15 ; No. 1 white. 14 ; fancy am- 

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

 dark, 12 ; white extracted, 7 ; dark, 5Vi. Bees- 

 wax, 20 to 22.

Nov. 1. U &48 So. Water St., Chicago, 111. 



CINCINN.\TI, Ohio.— Demand from manufac- 

 turers for extracted honey is slow, while that for 

 table use is fair. It brings from 5 to 8 cts.. ac- 

 cording to quality. Choice comb honey is in 

 good demand at from 14 to 16 cts. Arrivals are 

 good for all kinds of honey. Beeswax is in slow 

 (lemand while arrivals are large. It brings 20 to 

 23 ct8. ff)r KC)od to choice yellow wax. 



CHAS. F. MUTH & SON.. 



Sept. 26. Cincinnati, Ohio. 



MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., — We are receiving 

 large shipments of honey bat they are mostly of 

 poor quality. Fancy white is selling at 18 to 20 

 cts., but we are cleaning up more No. 1 white at 

 16 cts. than anything else. We quote as follows : 

 Fancy white, 18 to 20; No. 1, 16 ; fancy amber. 15 ; 

 fancy dark. 14; white extracted, 7V4 to 8; dark 

 extracted, 6'4 to 6?i. No sale for beeswax.

Sept. 27, 



CHICAGO, lU. — Fancy white comb honey 

 brings 15c per pound. Grades not grading first- 

 class are not selling at over 14c. as there has 

 been quite a quantity of California honey re- 

 ceived here that is offered at 14c. The quality is 

 superior to most of that we receive. Dark hon- 

 ey sells slowly at 12 to 13c. Extracted ranges 

 from 5 to 7c per lb., according to color, quality, 

 flavor and style of package. Beeswax 22c per 

 lb. The trade in honey has been large this sea- 

 son. 



R. A. BURNETT & CO., 



Nov. 1. 161 So. Water St., Chicago, 111. 



NEW YORK. N. Y.— The market on white comb 

 honey is weak and shows no activity. The sup- 

 ply is plenty and the arrivals large, hence prices 

 have a downward tendency and concepsions have 

 to be made in order to effect sales. Fancy dark 

 is scarce and in good demand Extracted re- 

 mains quiet with plenty of stock on the market. 

 We quote as follows : fancy white. 13 to 14 ; No. 

 1 white, 12 to 13; fancy amber. 12 to 13; fancy 

 dark, 11 to 12 : white extracted, 6 to 6!4 ; amber 

 extracted, 5i4 to 6. Beeswax, 24 to 25.
