New York. — The market is practically bare of 

 comb honey of all grades. Some few small odd lots 

 are coming in as yet, and find ready sale at from 

 14 to 16 for white, and 11 to 13 for dark and am- 

 ber, according to quality and style of package. The 

 market for extracted honey has been very quiet dur- 

 ing the past two months, and we do not see any 

 indications for a better demand, as the supply is 

 more than ample to meet the demand. California 

 light-amber sage, which was reported to be of very 

 short crop at the beginning of the season, and held 

 at high figures, is being offered quite freely with 

 no buyers. West Indian is arriving freely, with very 

 little demand, and prices are declining right along 

 the line. We quote California sage, light-amber, at 

 7% to 8; California alfalfa, 6 to 6%, and West 

 Indian at 73 to 75 cts. per gallon.
