Honey Quotations 



The following rules for grading honey were 

 adopted by the North American Bee-Keepers' Asso- 

 ciation, at the Washington 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. I. -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 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. 



The prices given in the following quotations are 

 those at which the dealers sell to the grocers. 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 deal- 

 ers charge only five per cent, when a shipment sells 

 for as much as one hundred dollars. 



CINCINNATI— There is very little demiand for ex- 

 tracted honey at this writing, which is only natural, 

 owing to the unsettled weather at this time of the 

 year. However we are looking forward with inter- 

 est to a revival of trade, as soon as the warm spring 

 days are here. Amber extracted honey in barrels 

 sells at 6'2C to 7 '/2c, the price depending upon the 

 quaiitity purchased. Fancy table honey in crates of 

 two 60-lb. cans each, at from 8c to 9c. There is 

 little demand for comb honey owing to the lateness 

 of the seeison. We are now paying 32c cash, or 35c 

 in trade, delivered here, for choice yellow bees- 

 wax.
