SAN FRANCISCO.— Very little to offer in ex- 

 tracted honey. There is, however, some Australian 

 honey coming in a few days, attracted here by the 

 high prevailing prices, and indications are that a con- 

 siderable quantity is available from the "Kangaroo" 

 country and there will probably be some arriving 

 during the next three months. The lack of ship 

 space, however, may cut down shipments somewhat.
