New York, Feb iB— There is very little 

 doing in comb honey. There is some de- 

 mand for No I white stock, which is selling 

 at around 146 1 c per pound, while off grades 

 are neglecte altogether. Buckwheat is 

 pretty well cleaned up at this time. As to 

 extracted, the demand is only fair, and 

 mostly for choice grades of which there is 

 not an overstock, with prices ruling from 

 8'"oc per pound, according to quality. Large 

 quantities from the West Indies have been 

 and are arriving at this market, and prices 

 on these grades are ruling very low. and we 

 can see no indication for any improvement 

 for the time being. Beeswax is quiet, sell- 

 ing at from 28@30C per pound according to 

 quality. Hildreth & Segelken.
