The Market. 



The stretch of dark rainy weather 

 has had a bad effect on stock and a 

 great deal of it is very soft. The sup- 

 ply is ample in quantity except Beau- 

 ties and Meteors. Carnations have 

 been received in enormous quantitie.^ 

 and the poorer grades have been sold 

 at very low rates. The majority seem 

 to be moved, though, at some figure. 

 Of really good stock there is none too 

 much and it is often difficult to secure 

 any quantity. The weather seems to 

 have been especially hard on Meteors 

 and Beauties, the former having 

 dropped oft' in quality to a very 

 marked degree. Kaiserins hold up 

 very well. 



Prices vary but little from last 

 week. Beauties are now quoted as fol- 

 lows, per dozen: Extra long. $3; 24- 

 inch stem, $2; 20-inch, $1.50; 15-inch, 

 |1; 10-inch, 75 cents; 6-inch, 50 cents. 

 Brides, Kaiserin and Meteors are $2

to $4: Perles. $1.50 to $3. Carnations 

 range from 75 cents to $1.00 for good 

 oommon and under grades and large 

 lots go at much less. Fancy sorts 

 range from $1.25 to $1.50. and some 

 specials as high as ^2 to $3. though 

 but very few are sold at the top fig- 

 ures. 



Tne market has been well cleared 

 out of good stock, the v elled Pro-
