CHICAGO. 



The Market. 



There is still an abundaut supply of 

 all stock in the market, but conditions 

 have improved some over last -sveek. 

 Prices are no higher, but the stock moves 

 somewhat better. There is now no sur- 

 plus of Beauties, and there are none too 

 many good white carnations. The qual- 

 ity of all stock is good for the season, 

 owing to the continued cool weather, and 

 shipping demand keeps up well. In 

 prices there is little change from last 

 week. The top on tea roses is $6.00, 

 •with the bulk of the stock selling at $3.00 

 to $5.00. On carnations prices are a lit- 

 tle better maintained, especially on 

 wliites. Quotations are still $1.00 to 

 $1.25 for commons, $1.50 to $2.00 for 

 selects and $2.50 to $3.00 for fancy, 

 with a few choice varieties reaching 

 $4.00. Harrisii are moving better, but 

 callas still drag. The violet season is 

 practically over, and not many are seen. 

 On the whole, conditions are very satis- 

 factory for the season.

 third street to a Mr. Kichardson.
