The Market. 



There is a decided shortening up in 

 the cut of all flowers at this writin;^. 

 but it is most noticeable in white roses 

 and white carnations, for which the de- 

 mand exceeds the supply. Beauties of 

 the highest grade are scarce and are 

 held at 50 cents each; best Brides and 

 Maids are 12 cents; occasionally some 

 specials bring 18 cents. Carnations are 

 in only limited demand, and prices are 

 imder those of last year at this date. 

 $1.50 to $3 per 100, with some good 

 Enchantress and Prosperity selling at G 

 cents. Paper White narcissi, Roman hy- 

 acinths, daffodils and tulips are better 

 sale, no accumulations now. Single and 

 double violets of good quality are plen- 

 tiful and meet with very fair demand. 

 Fine long-stemmed sweet peas are be- 

 ing received, which are sold very low in 

 order to clean up, the price being 30 to 

 50 cents per 100 in quantities. Migno- 

 nette, pansies. daisies, primulas and lilacs 

 meet with a steady call. The whole- 

 salers report shipping business steady.
