Buffalo.- HoTiey.^Honey shows some improve- 

 ment in demand; nothing particularly positive 

 about increased values. Small sales of strictly 

 fancy 1-lb. comb at 13, and occasionally 14. with 

 larger sfiles at about 12, common grades ranging

 usual, 10 cents per lb. on any amount of strictly 

 No 1 1-lb. comb, and do all that can be d(Tne with it
