Although there is an abunrtance of stock In 

 all varieties in the market at present the de- 

 mand lias kept pace with supply. Good stock 

 commanded fair prices, although much inferior 

 stuff went at pretty low figures. Some fine 

 mums bi'ought $3.00 a dozen and ordinary 

 grades sold at 50 cents to $1.50 per dozen. 

 The warm, bright weather brought on a heavy 

 crop of roses and carnations and there were 

 I)lent.v of them to satisfy all classes of bu.vers. 

 Violets are coming in freely and of extra qual- 

 ity, l)ut demand rather light. Some fine cosmos 

 are in the market. INCOG.
