 signments (with the exception of one round lot 

 taken by merchants from Dakota Territory), our 

 demand is chiefly local. Extracted honey has ni:)t 

 been sought for to any extent, yet there is an im- 

 provement over last w, ek in the amount sold.

 honey, extra white l*^ to 2 lb. sections, l.'i^lTc.
