Honey yuoiations 



The following rules for grading honey were 

 adopted by the North Aiueiican Bee-Keepers' 

 Association, at the Washington meeting, and, so 

 far as possible, quotations are niade according to 

 these rules: 



Fancy— All sections to be well filled; combs 

 straight, of even thickness, and tirmly attached 

 to all four sid<-s; both wood and comb unsoiled 

 by travel-stain or otherwise; all the cells sealed 

 except the row of cells next the wood 



No. I. — All sections well filled, but combs un- 

 even or crooked, det'-'ched at the bottom, or with 

 but few cells unsealed; both wood and comb un- 

 soiled 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. I, dark," etc. 



The prices given in the following quotations 

 are those at which the dealers sell to the gro- 

 cers. From these prices must be deducted 

 freight, cartage and commission — the balance 

 being sent to the shipper. Commission is ten 

 per cent ; except that a few dealers charge only 

 five per cent, when a shipment sells for as much 

 as one hundred dollars. 



CINCINNATI— The demand for extracted amber 

 honey has brightened in the past three weeks. We 

 are selling amber honey in barrels at 6'2C to 7!4c, 

 according to to the quality and quantity purchased. 

 Fancy white extracted honey from 8c to 9c in cans. 

 Comb honey is a drug on the market: fancy selling 

 at from 14c to 16c. At this date, we are paying 

 32c ceish. and 34c in trade, delivered here, for a 

 choice grade of beeswax.

CHICAGO— The usual late winter demand is in 

 evidence for comb honey to replace diminished 

 stock laid in during the autumn by the large retailers, 

 but during the dull period there has been very little 

 change, if any, in prices, the offerings being light. 

 We find No. 1 to fancy white comb honey brings 1 5c 

 to 16c, and for that which is off in color and flavor 

 from Icto 3c less. Amber grades of all kjnds are 

 dull and range in price from 10c to 12. The ex- 

 tracted perhaps is not quite so firm in price for the 

 California or Western grades, but there is no surplus 

 of white clover or basswood, both of which bring 

 about 8c per lb. and in some cases more. Ambers, 

 grade from 6c to 7^c. There have been some sales 

 of beeswax at 32c per lb. but 30c is about the price 

 for average beeswax.

NEW YORK— White comb honey is well cleaned 

 up, and there is a fair demand for No. 1 and fancy 

 white stock, which finds ready sale at from 14c to 

 15c per lb. Fair white in good demand at 12c to 

 13c. There is quite a supply of dark and buck- 

 wheat, but very little demand. Nominal quotations 

 are from lOc to 12c, according to quality and style 

 of package. Extracted honey in good demand. We 

 quote California white at from 8c to 8Mc, light 

 amber at 7c to 7 }4c, amber at 6c to 65^c per lb. 

 Southern in barrels at from 60c to 70c per gallon, 

 according to quality. Beeswax firm, at from 30c to 

 5 Ic per lb.

CHICAGO While trade on both comb and ex- 

 tracted honey is not very active during the month of 

 January, we have experienced an unusually active 

 trade since Feb. 1st. Stocks reducing rapidly and 

 there is not enough honey on this market to fill pros- 

 pective orders up to the end of the honey season. 

 If shippers still have any comb or extracted honey 

 to come forward, we herewith solicit their corres- 

 pondence, knowing fully that same can be placed 

 at a satisfactory price. Beeswax very scarce on our 

 market. 



We quote as follows : Fancy white, 16c: No. 1 

 white, 15c to 15'/4c: No. 2 white, 12c to 13c: white 

 extracted, 6>icto 7c: amber. 5c to 6c: beeswax, 

 30c to 32c.

DENVER— There is practically no honey in the 

 Producers' hands in this State now, and very little 

 comb honey in the Denver market. We have a good 

 supply of extracted honey on hand which is of ex- 

 cellent quality. We quote strictly No. 1 white comb 

 honey, per case of 24 sections, S3, 20; No. 1 light 

 amber, S3. 00: good No. 2, S2.80: white extracted, 

 8c to 8Hc per lb; light amber, 7i4C to 8c. We pay 

 27c to 28c for clear yellow wax delivered here.
