 David l.aucreth & Sons are making 

 active preparations to close up t li.-i 

 retail department in the city and are 

 offering about even tl.iny ;it bargain 

 prices. Alexander Stewart, formerly 

 with this house, is now with Moore & 

 Simon. Mr. Philler, formerly manager 

 of the retiiil department, is thinking of 



starting in the s I Wimhoss upon ins 



own account. 



The government crop reporl for Aug- 

 ust 11 summarizes the corn situation as 

 follows: "Corn is making favorable 

 progress in the central ami western por- 

 tions of the corn belt, but in the upper 

 Ohio valley and the middle Ulanti< 

 states the outlook is less promising. 

 While improvement has been general in 

 the states of the Missouri and up- 

 per Mississippi valley, in the more north 

 erly portions of these slates the <- 11 >i ■ is

The John H. Allan < 'eed Co., Sheboy-

The Market. 



The weather continues abnormal: il.o 

 days are warm, the nights cool (August 

 7 the mercury stood at 50 degrees after 

 sun up) and the precipitation is above 

 the average. Outdoor stuff is plentiful. 

 Asters are wasting by the thousand, and 

 Cochet roses are in excess of require- 

 ments, and their quality is not up to 

 that of former years. Last week the de- 

 mand was somewhat better than the pre- 

 ceding one, but dullness is general. 



The White Coehet rose grows con- 

 stants in favor as a summer variety. 



Fred'k. ( '. Bauer has a block of 7, in 



fine condition on his place, and every 

 one sold. Carnations are being benched, 

 the plants in most cases being fair in 

 quality, though the wet season has re- 

 sulted in much stem rot. 



Various Notes. 

 Halliday Bros, have closed up their 

 Baltimore street store and will concen- 

 trate their business at 329 N. Charles 

 street. It is a remarkable circumstance 

 that now, on Baltimore street, our main 

 business thoroughfare, there is but one

John J. Perry, the busy and efficient 

 manayer of the Florists' Exchange, was 

 absent from his post, for two or three 

 days last week, visiting his father in 

 Frederick county, who was quite ill, but 

 who has recovered in some measure. 



Philip B. Welch lost his mother some 

 days ago, she being a lady advanced 

 in years, who had been living at Wav- 

 erly. The new farm of Mr. "Welch is be- 

 ing rapidly improved, and his business 

 there will be largely in the line of grow- 

 ing flowers for the trade. 



L. T. Massey, who a year or two ago 

 sold his place near the York road to 

 .1. E. Bartell, has joined forces with 

 the purchaser and the two will hereafter 

 make a team together. Mr. Bartell, as 

 heretofore reported, has added several 

 modern houses and otherwise improved 

 the plant. 



In a short time, under the new city 

 government, there will be ;i ehangi of 

 the members of the park commission, 

 which will involve other changes, un- 

 questionably, in the employes of the va- 

 rious parks and wire pulling is being 

 actively engaged in already by those 

 who are after the choicest places.
