(fUR honey quotation.s. 

 Just after our December 1 number went to press. 

 we received fiom the West the two cars of honey we 

 had been expecting. One car of very nice white 

 sage honey, in new cans and cases, is from J. F. 

 Mclntvre." This is fully equal to the former car 

 from Mercer, and, being in new cans and cases, is 

 more desirable on that account. In the car from 

 Arizona, we have about 4ti(iO lbs. alfalfa comb honey 

 in 1-lb. sections, and about 1000 U)s. in 3-lb. sections.
