Washington florists have been noti- 

 fied that the Adams, American, and 

 Wells Fargo Express Companies have 

 ceased the vehicle pick-up of business 

 in this city at 5 p. m. This means 

 they must get their shipments for the 

 North and South, which have been 

 quite heavy of late, ready perhaps as 

 early as 3.30 in the afternoon unless 

 they will take the shipments to the 

 depot or local offices. These latter will 

 remain open up to 6 p. m.. and the 

 companies will arrange for the prompt 

 handling of traffic tendered at such 

 places. The companies say tliat it is 

 customary among shippers to turn over 

 their express traffic at the end of the 

 day's business, which makes it neces- 

 sary, for the companies to pick-up, 

 assort, waybill and load the shipments 

 within a period of two or three hours 

 in the evening which under present 

 conditions owing to the abnormal traf- 

 fic, has become a physical impossibil- 

 ity.
