COiiUMBDS.— Honej/.— Our market remains about 

 the same for No. 1 honey in 1-lb. sections. Poor

 fine white clover or basswood. The market on ex- 

 tracted honey about cleaned up; a shipment of that 

 kind would meet with ready sale We would ad- 

 vise all parties that ship to this market to ship by 

 freight, as the charges are less, and goods come in 

 better condition. Eaule Olickenger,
