New York.— Hoiiey.— We have a fairly good de- 

 mand for white comb honey at 12®16, according lo 

 qualliy and style of package. While the maiket is 

 well cleaned up of glassed sections and pasteboard 

 cartons, unglassed is plentiful, having just receiv- 

 ed two more big carloads from California. Buck- 

 wheat comb is very dull, with large slocks on the 

 market. We quote 9@.lt); but, to effect sales on 

 quantity lots, it is necessary to shade quotations. 

 Considering the limited outlet and large supply, we 

 would not encourage 8hlj)pingof liuck wheat honey, 

 as we could not render returns in reasonable time. 

 The market on extracted is quiet, at unclijtnged 

 prices. No demand as yet for extracted buckwheat. 

 Beeswax is in good demand, and sells at 29®31.
