 22@2oc. w, A. S. 



ALBANY. N. T.. Oct. 7.— Receipts of honey,

H.B. &S. 



NEW YORK, N. Y.. Sept. 23.— The market 

 for comb and extracted honey is now open. 

 Comb honey Is not arriving as freely as ex- 

 pected, presumably on account of the pro-

 sidering the hot weather we have had this 

 time of the year. Of extracted honey there is 

 quite a supply on the market: California and 

 Southern with a fair demand. We are quoting 

 comb honey to-day as follows: Fancy. 1-lbs., 

 15c.: 2-lbs., 14@15c.; white, 1-lbs., 13@14c,;
