NEW LAW IN OHIO. 



Ed. Florists' Review: We rtesire to 

 advise you regarding a new !a\v affect- 

 ing those doing business in Die state 

 of Ohio. The law, however, does not 

 go into effect till November 1, 1S98. 

 We desire to give you the substance 

 of same, and believe that the readers 

 of your paper will be interested. 



The act was passed by the legisla- 

 ture of Ohio recently and relates to 

 insolvent debtors, which provides in 

 substance that every conveyance, 

 transfer, mortgage or confession of 

 judgment made by a debtor in con- 

 templation of insolvency, or with in- 

 tent to prefer a creditor, shall be void, 

 and that every such conveyance, 

 transfer, mortgage or judgment made 

 while the debtor is insolvent, within 

 ninety days next preceding a general 

 assignment, shall be void, whatever 

 the intent with which it is !na(ie. This 

 last applies whether the debtor knew 

 of his insolvency or not. 



We, therefore, suggest that more 

 than usual care should be exercised by 

 the members of the trade in placing or 

 extending credit in Ohio between now 

 and November 1st. 



Some of our local correspondents be- 

 lieve that there will be an unusual 

 number of assignments in Ohio with 

 preferences before this act goes into 

 effect. JIany tradespeople a'e being 

 carried either by the bank or some 

 mercantile house with the understand- 

 ing that in case of trouble, they will 

 be taken care of by preference, an ar- 

 rangement which it has heretofore 

 been comparatively easy to carry out. 



Parties holding this accommodation 

 paper are likely to close it out before 

 November 1st, thus forcing m;^ny fail- 

 ures: and it may also be expected that 

 a large number of persons who contin- 

 uallv prey upon the business world by 

 doing business with money borrowed 

 from relatives, while pretending to be 

 solvent, will improve this, their last 

 opportunity to save the family capital.

HUNT'S REVIEW OF THE CHICAGO 

 MARKET. 



The last week, which had been looked 

 forward to for several weeks as a record 

 breaker, failed to meet expectations. 



The quantitv of flowers put on sale was 

 enormous and the demand fell far below 

 the ability of the wholesale men to han- 

 dle. As near as we can learn, good stock 

 of roses and carnations sold out clean at 

 fair prices, but there was a lot of poor 

 second-grade flowers which could not be 

 moved. 



White carnations, supposed to be 

 scarce, proved to be a glut. Where they 

 all came from nobody seems to know, but 

 come thev did from all directions. 



Harrisii and Beauties dragged. Callas 

 were in limited supply and met with 

 ready sale. Lilac, valley, poets, paeonies, 

 all moved at low prices. 



A few retailers report fairly good trade 

 locally, but more say "business quite 

 slow." "not much doing," etc.
