TORONTO. 



The Market. 



VCe have luul geuiiiue winttr weather 

 with tlie thermometer hovering between 

 10 anO 20 degrees below zero day and 

 night and an occasional brisk breeze to 

 help it along. However, at the time of 

 writing there appears to be a change and 

 bright days with moderately cold nights 

 will very materially reflnee the amount 

 of coal that onr ilorists are consuming. 

 One of our brothers who is somewhat in- 

 clined to scoff, made the remark the other 

 day. when asked how he was feeling. 

 "Oh. I'm all right, but my coal pile has 

 the ' galloping consumjition. ' ' ' 



The lack of sunshine we note has made 

 itsdf felt considerably on carnations, 

 which are very soft at present and many 

 complaints are being made about stock 

 not keeping, while some growers tell us 

 that their great trouble is to get any- 

 thing to keep. Eoses are somewhat over- 

 plentiful, especially Xo. 2 stock, wlii'di 

 seems to be more abundant than anythi'"; 

 else. 



Various items. 



We note among the other improve- 

 ments in the floral trade in Toronto the 

 new wagon put into commission by John 

 McKerrighan. the west end florist. 



.Some comment lias been lieard of Into 

 about the number of bottles of the "Old 

 Scotch ' ' that were distributed by our 

 wholesale men among their retail cus- 

 tomers at Christmas. We have this to 

 say, that the weather since has been such 

 as to fuT.y warrant this friendly act. 



We regret very much tliat in reporting 

 J. .S. Simmons' Christmas business la.st 

 week, an error was made. WHiile Jlr. 

 Simmons' business was everything that 

 could be desired, the $-500 mentioned 

 should not have been used in that con- 

 nection. T). .1. 



SALT LAKE CITY. 



Kverything is dull here at present, ow- 

 ing to the cold weather now prevailing 

 in Utah. During the holidays business 

 was good and went far beyond expecta- 

 tions. The holly trade has passed out 

 of the hands of the florists, the grocery 

 and candy stores handling in large 

 quantities, both loose and made up in 

 wreaths, much to the discomfiture of 

 those to whom the business legitimately 

 belongs. 



We are looking for a bie spring trade 

 for all the business men here are confi- 

 dent of a very prosperous year. H. T.
