PITTSBURG. 



Trade the past week was very good 

 and all stock found a ready market. 

 Prices have advanced a few points since 

 last week's report. The demand for 

 good Maids and Brides was heavy; the 

 inferior grades were over-plentiful. Car- 

 nations are arriving in large quantities ; 

 the quality is good. American Beauty 

 roses are not so plentiful. Chrysanthe- 

 mums are increasing in supply; among 

 the varieties in the market at present 

 are some very fine Glory of Pacific, Mme. 

 F. Bergmaiui, Amelia Henderson. Polly 

 Eose and Slarquis de Montmort. Dahlias 

 are still coming in in fine shape. Jlr. II. 

 P. Joslin is cutting some very good sin- 

 gle varieties and a good double pink ; 

 also exceptionally good cosmos. 



Tlie visitors last week were: Messrs. 

 J. M. Gasser, of Cleveland, Ohio; Mr. .1. 

 Florey, of Media, N. Y.; Mr. S. S. Ski- 

 delsky. 



Over in the Allegheny market they all 

 report business exceptionally good. Mr. 

 J. W. Ludwig is much pleased with the 

 outlook for a good fall trade. Mr. E. C. 

 Ludwig is doing a fine business. He had 

 considerable funeral work last Saturday 

 which amounted to hundreds of dollars. 

 Mr. Chas. Ehrhardt is Mr. Ludwig's 

 head artist. 



Pittsburg and the vicinity will have 

 to depend mainly upon the supply of 

 coal from river mines, as all railroad 

 mines are sending their product east to 

 take the place of anthracite. If winter 

 sets in early and the rivers become ice- 

 bound, prices will begin to soar. The 

 current rate per bushel now is lOi cents, 

 li cents above the price of last winter. 

 The president of one of the largest coal 

 companies said he did not predict any- 

 thing serious in the winter's supply. 

 Their mines are working full time and 

 consigiunents are coming in regularly. 

 This company alone has 20 million bush- 

 els ready to go south via the river 

 route. Hoo Hoo. 



WOMEN FLORISTS. 



In an article under the above heading 

 the Pittsburg Dispatch pays high trib- 

 ute to the artistic abilities of Mrs. E. 

 A. Williams, the florist of that city. 

 It says: 



Mrs. E. A. Williams, who has a flower store 

 on Penn avenue, near Sixth street, enjo.vs the 

 distinction of being Pittsbnrg'g only woman 

 florist, and one of the very few professional 

 women floral decorators in this country. She 

 possesses in a marked degree that particular 

 attribute which goes to make a design artis- 

 tic, impressive and attractive. She employs 

 a large corps of skilled florists, who are able 

 to Impart their marked originality to the fin- 

 ished products of their designs. Great care Is 

 given by Mrs. Williams to the selection of her 

 assistants: as to her other qualifications she 

 adds that of being a good business woman, 

 and realisfes that her extensive and exactl.ig 

 patronage can only be retained through meri- 

 torious work.
