CITT MARKETS. 

 New York.— Honey. —V7e note an improvement 

 in sales of comb honey the past two weelis; and 

 owing- to the lateness of the season, prices rule low. 

 In consequence of the low rates of freiiurht from San 

 Francisco to New York, many dealers in honey arc 

 taking- advantage of the rates, and shipping- ex- 

 tracted honey to this market at prices ranging from 

 •t'2@5'2C per lb. This has already had its effect on 

 State goods. We quote prices as follows: 

 Fancy white comb honey, 1-lb. sections, 12(a},lBc 



"4 " " " 3-lb. " 9@,10c
