The Market. 



Business last week was similar to pre- 

 vious years; the week oefore Cbristmas 

 was a (lull one. Eoses arrived in large 

 quantities and some of the stock was not 

 fit for sale, it had such a soft and un- 

 healthy appearajiee. Maids and Brides 

 were sold at very low prices. Carnations 

 are very scarce; in fact, have been so 

 since November. The stock which is of- 

 fered is fine. Sweet peas, mignonette and 

 cut baby primroses are very plentiful and 

 sell well. Smilax is slow sale. 

 Store Decorations. 



Eandolph & jreClements had a beauti- 

 ful window decoration of poinsettias; 

 they also displayed many new designs in 

 fancy baskets, etc. Mrs. E. A. Williams' 

 pretty down-town store has taken on its 

 Christmas attire; in fact, it is a dream. 

 Mr. Shieflf, manager, reports business 

 fine. Breitenstein & Flemm are displaying 

 many new and unique novelties in box- 

 wood and immortelle work. Geddis & 

 Blind have a very striking window dis- 

 play of red bells at their new store. L. 

 I. Neff is selling quantities of boxwood 

 and immortelle wreaths. Mr. Neff has 

 one of the oldest down-town cut flower 

 establishments in Pittsburg. Thomas M. 

 TJIam has one of the prettiest windows in 

 Pittsburg, of red bells and poinsettias. 

 Various Items. 



G. & J. W. Ludwig made up an arm 

 chair last week for a funeral, for which 

 they will receive $150. Their work was 

 well executed. 



E. C. Ludwig reports business fine and 

 has more advance orders for Christmas 

 than last year. Ernest will open up a 

 new store in the Allegheny Diamond, 

 April 1. 



Several losses by frost were reported 

 last week. W. E. Maebius had a wagon- 

 load of decorative plants frozen; loss 

 $60. H. L. Bund & Bros, also received 

 a shipment of azaleas which came by 

 freight and was frozen beyond recovery. 



David Geddis is receiving congratula- 

 tions on a fine baby boy. Mrs. Geddis 

 and son are doing well.
