 sulted in a larger amount of business. Price

 according to quality and style of package: 

 lower grades at from ii@i2c. There is no 

 buckwheat on the market as yet. As to ex- 

 tracted, we have never seen the market in 

 such condition as it is at present. Large 

 quantities of West India honey are coming 

 in here, and are offered and sold at all kinds 

 of prices, and we are advising southern bee- 

 keepers to write us before making any ship- 

 ments, as we may not be able to realize 

 prices that they expect us to get, and we do 

 not wish them to he dissatislied afterwards.
