Albany. — We note an improved demand for honey, 

 ■with light receipts so far. Fifteen cents seems to be a 

 popular and standard price that trade is willing to 

 pay. Do not require water-white, but a light trans- 

 parent comb weighing not over a pound, a little short 

 preferred. No honey except light arriving as yet. 

 Buckwheat would sell at 13c. Extracted, white, 7@7 J^ ; 

 amber, 6)^@7: dark, G. H. R. Wright.

 w rd. as small fruits get out of the way, and we iiow

Chicago.— Honey is coming to market quite freeU' 

 and is of first quality ; this fact induces the trade to 

 take it, and people are of the opinion that it is going

 comb sell at about 14 cents per lb. Extracted, ^'AiSi 

 T/2. according to quality and package; amber grades,
