CHICAGO. 



The Market. 



The change from roasting heat to 

 comfortably cool weather has already 

 had a beneficial influence on the mar- 

 ket, though there is still little doing. 

 Shipping trade holds up well for the 

 sea.son. but local demand is still al- 

 most nil. The receipts of asters dur- 

 ing the "hot time" last week, were 



enormous, and as they wouldn't sell 

 and wouldn't keep the bulk of them 

 had to be sacrificed. 



New crop roses are improving in 

 supply and quality, but quantity is still 

 light. Outdoor carnations are fair, but 

 the heavy rain that broke the heated 

 term has left its mark on m.any of the 

 flowers. 



Prices are practically the same as 

 last week. Sweet peas are still coming 

 in, but the majority of them have a 

 very weary look. 



To New York. 



The special train to the New York 

 convention is now [he principal topic 

 of conversation. Walter Kreitling has 

 promised that the dining car shall be 

 a bower of beauty and something 

 great in the way of decoration is 

 looked for. Ed. Winterson also has 

 ideas regarding the exterior decora- 

 tion of the train and it is expected 

 that the special will leave a trail of 

 glory across the country. 



All who are going should reserve 

 their berths at once so suitable provi- 

 sion may be made for all. Five from 

 Milwaukee will join the Chicago 

 party. And we hear of a number from 

 St. Louis too. Over 50 people are al- 

 ready booked. 



Tickets may he purchased on Friday 

 and Saturday at the city office of the 

 Lake Shore road, corner Clark and 

 Monroe Sts., or on Sunday at the Lake 

 Shore station. Van Buren St. It will 

 be wise to secure tickets before Sun- 

 day if possible, as there may be a 

 crowd at the station. The special 

 train will be backed into the station 

 by noon Sunday, so the decorators 

 may have time tor their work. 



The train will reach Toledo by 8:30 

 p. m. and Cleveland my 11:30 p. m. 

 Parties will board the train at both 

 these points. Also at Buffalo. 



Variotis Items. 



McKellar & Winterson are receiving 

 their stock of bulbs. 



C. M. Dickinson, of Hunt's, has re- 

 turned from his vacation in Michigan 

 with an ultra fashionable shade of tan 

 on face and hands. 



V. J. Virgin, of New Orleans, is in 

 town and will go from here to New 

 York. 



.John Brod lost his stock of palms. 

 etc., in his new store at G16 N. Wells 

 St. by escaping gas from some leaky 

 pipes under the store. The loss will 

 be settled by those responsible for the 

 leaks. 



B. J. Blameuser, the North Wells 

 St. Florist, sent his young wife to the 

 Insane Hospital because she threw a 

 pair of shears through a plate glass 

 window during a domestic quarrel. She 

 was released by the physicians on ex- 

 amination. They concluded that her 

 act was not conclusive proof of in- 

 sanity, whatever B. J. B. might think 

 about it. 



C. J. Reardon has gone to Calumet, 

 Mich., to take charge of the new place 

 being built by A. E. Lutey.
