 fine chrysanthemums and expect a fair 

 supply "for Christmas. In addition to 

 their "mahonia leaves they arc now re- 

 ceiving from the Paeifie coast what are 

 called "Salla" leaves. They are similar 

 in form to the leucothoe sprays, but the 

 individual leaves are larger and more

Carnations vary in quality and there 

 is not an oversupply. Good stock 

 brings $1.50 and $2, with fancies at $2.50 

 and $3. The demand is good and few 

 are left over after the morning sales. 



Choice valley is held at $5 and some 

 is sold as low as $3 ; Romans and Nar- 

 cissus, $3. 



Christmas prices are unsettled and 

 the general sentiment of the commission
