Boston.— i/o/icy.— We have received quite a large 

 stock of honey, mostly from Vermont, and the

 something for their honey. One of the largest pro- 

 ducers sold his entire crop at a rrry lnn' jiricr. and it 

 is being sold here at a price that would give the 

 bee-keeper nothing. We still hold o\ir price, Itif'f ISc 

 for 1 pound, I-lfT' lelc for 2 pounds. Extiacted, 6f?> 8 c.
