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. 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 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 

 tor as much as one hundred dollars. 



KANSAS CITY -Market firm on both honey and 

 •wax are as follows: Fancy white S5.25 per case. 

 No. 1 white S3. 00 per case, white extracted 7^ cts. 

 Amber extracted 7 cts., dark extracted 6 cts., bees- 

 wax 25 cts.

 12 cts., fancy dark 9 to 10 cts.. No. 1 dark 9 cts..

NEW YORK— Comb and extracted is in good 

 demand, especially for choice stock: off grades do 

 not find ready sale. The supply is quite good, con- 

 sidering the short crop. We quote as follows: 



Fancy white 16 cts., No. 1 white 15 cts., 

 fancy amber 14 cts., No. 1 amber 13 cts., fancy 

 dark 13 cts.. No. 1 dark 12 cts., white extracted 85^

TOLEDO— The market on all grades of comb 

 honey remains quiet, and stocks are usually large, 

 owing to heavy receipts of Western honey and the 

 prevailing high pri<res. Honey is moving very 

 slowly, and we do not look for any better demand 

 this season. We quote as follows: 



Fancy white 17 to 1 8 cts.. No. 1 white 16 to 17 

 cts., fancy amber no demand. No. 1 amber no de- 

 mand, fancy dark no demand, No. 1 dark, no de- 

 mand, white extracted 8 to 9 cts., amber extracted 

 6 to 7 cts., dark amber no demand. Beeswax 26 

 to 28 cts.

CINCINNATI HONEY MARKET-Owing to the 

 unsettled condition of finances throughout the coun- 

 try, causing much uneasiness and anxiety among 

 the buyers, we look forward to seeing honey reach 

 o wer values in the very near future. We are at a 



loss to say what prices we will ask in 1 days hence, 

 but, at this writing, we are quoting extracted am- 

 ber honey in barrels at 6c. to 7'ac. : fancy white ex- 

 tracted, in 601b. cans, at lOc: and strictly fancy 

 white comb honey, (which is moving slowly) at 

 16'/;c. to 18c., according to the quantity purchased. 

 For choice yellow bees wax, free from dirt, we are 

 paying 30c. per lb., delivered here.

CHICAGO Before this uncertainty as to the 

 money situation came upon us, we were enjoying a 

 thoroughly active trade on both comb and extracted 

 honey. The past two weeks, however, trade in the 

 honey line has not been of much consequence, and 

 it goes to show that the public can get along without 

 honey when occasion requires it. Up to November 

 1st, we have handled more comb and extracted 

 honey than we did through the entire season last 

 year, and our stock at the present time is only nor- 

 mal, and with a re action it will be only a question 

 of a short time before we will be entirely out of 

 comb honey. 



We now can offer for prompt shipment both 

 Southern California, light amber extracted honey 

 and fancy Utah water white Alfalfa extracted honey, 

 put up in 60lb. cans, 2 cans to the case. We quote 

 as follows: 



Fancy white 1 7 to 18 cts., No. 1 white 16 to 17 

 cts.. No. 2 white 13 to 15 cts.. off grades corres- 

 pondingly less, white extracted 7 tn 8 cts., amber 

 extracted 5 to 7 cts. Beeswax 28 to 33 cts.
