SEPTEMBER 29, 1S98. 



ONCINNATL 



The Market. 



Business was quite satisfactory last 

 weelv. the demand and supply heing 

 cbout equal. Fall openings. Jewish 

 New Year's, funerals and the 33d-de- 

 grse Masons kept things moving quite 

 lively for several days. Business 

 seems to have dropped back into the 

 same old rut again this week and the 

 ice boxes are taxed to their utmost 

 cap.Tcity. 



Very few first class roses are to be 

 had just now. The stems are povu- 

 on the young stock and the cut from 

 plants held over is badly affected 

 with mildew. Carnations are becoming 

 more plentiful and the quality is ex- 

 cellent for this season of the year. 



Mums have made their appearance 

 :n limited quantities. The first ones 

 are always hailed with delight, but 

 we get good and tired of them before 

 the season is over. Tuberoses and 

 asters are about done for. Violets of 

 an inferior quality are to be seen here 

 and there. What plants I have seen 

 are looking fine and if all goes well 

 we will have violets in great plenty 

 this winter. 



Notes. 



B. P. Critchell's Sens decorated the 

 steamer Island Queen tor the Masonic 

 excursion last week, using several 

 hundred Beauties and quite a few oth- 

 er flowers in the job. 



Recent callers: H. Heller. New 

 Castle, Ind., and Theo. Bock, Hamil- 

 ton, 0. The latter has become a reg- 

 ular visitor on Saturdays. 



A. Sunderbruch's Sons and J. A. 

 Peterson have had several large plant 

 decorations lately, with more bookod 

 :or the near future. 



Julius Baer was rushed with orders 

 on Jewish New Year's. He had a 

 sign on the door. "Closed on account 

 of holiday," but he was in there hust- 

 ling out orders just the same. B. 



HUXTS REVIEW OF THE CHICAGO MAR- 

 KET. 



Last week was in a measure disappointing, 

 in failinir to come up to the preceding weeli. 

 A gradual decline in prices and weakening in 

 demand was decidedly noticeable. The amount 

 of stock sent in probably varied but little from 

 the week before and no great change in the 

 quality, the whole trouble being apparently 

 due to an off week among the retailers. 



Roses and carnations continue to improve, 

 though most of the former are "first crop." 

 which. under the most favorable circum- 

 stances, would never equal those that come 

 later. A rainy day played mischief with some 

 of the outdoor carnations, which for a few 

 days looked rather rusty, but so many are 

 now being cut from the housed stock that there 

 was no scarcity. 



The present week is opening fairly well, all 

 good, clean stock being cleared off at fair 

 average prices and we are hoping the fall 

 trade is on,
