HUNT'S REVIEW OF THE CHICAGO 

 MARKET. 



Since last retort market has ruled steady, 

 prices remaining at about the same level 

 throu^'hout entire period. Volume of business 

 rather light, but equal to supply in most lines. 



Roses seemed to be somewhat weaker 

 sten m "d tind softer in substance. Most grow- 

 ers r*'itnrt stocks breaking well and chances of 

 pr..tsjircti\.- crop being One. Met* ors are. per- 

 haps thf poorest, save from a few favored ones. 

 Perles in somewhat sht rt supply. Beauties 

 getting better color and stem and improving in 

 cut. Brides and Maids are be^t of all and in 

 most cases really tip top. 



Carnatir)ns seem shortening up. Whites have 

 been and still are in extremely short supply, 

 and as a rule sell at an advance over colored 

 varieties, although dealers generally quote 

 thtm the same. Scotts are. perhaps, the hard- 

 est to move, due mcr.' to their own fault than 

 anything else, as many of them are poor in 

 many of the essential points that go to make up 

 a good salable carnation. Good reds are still 

 shy. Many more Portias To be seen, however. 

 Tidal Waves are now coming in real good, and 

 in fair supply, relatively. 



Violets more plentiful and prices weakening 

 in consequence. Lack of fragrance in them is 

 particularly noticeab'e just now. 



Fair supply of other seasonable stock save in 

 small tine stuff; adiantum at a premium. Un- 

 favorable weather conditions at present should 

 prevent any overloiiding during coming week. 



A number of important social events should 

 help local business somewhat, and inquiries 

 from outside points show that amusement sea- 

 son is coming it. to life o\er a wide range of 

 tributary territory. 



ST. LOUIS BOWLING CLUB. 



The bowling club ri)lled fuiir games of 

 cocked hat. C. Beyer was high inaii, 

 with 130; Beneke second, with 123, and 

 Fillmore third. High single score was 

 by Fillmore, with 4.S; Weber second, with 

 44, and Beyer and Bencke a tie for third, 

 ■with 41. The regular ten were present, 

 and we will continue to roll this game 

 until the end of January. J. J. B.
