New York.— Comb-honey market is now almost 

 bare, with a few small straggling lots coming now and 

 then, which are .soon picked up. The demand is also 

 growing less as the spring approaches. Of extracted 

 honey, there is some in hands of dealers. The de- 

 mand for .same has not been up to expectations, and 

 very unsati.sTactory so far, easing up prices. We are 

 quoting to-day, fancy white conib, 14(3)15; A No. 1, 13®, 

 14; No 1, \2(a<V2y2\ No. 2, 11(3)12. Extracted white, 8;
