Schenectady. — Received the first consignment of 

 new comb honey to-day. The quality will grade No. 1 

 clover, and we expect to sell it for 15c without any 

 trouble. Have also a lot of extracted in pint jars on 

 the way. The usual price for these is S2.00 per dozen.

 demand for extracted honey, and .some demand for 

 CO ob; and Hczf cop wanted. The stock of old comb 

 of fancy qualitj' is very small indeed, while the low

 shipper who may have fancy new comb will realize 

 better prices now than later, and extracted -either 

 old or new — will sell. We now quote fancy 1-lb. sec-
