Business keeps a-moving 

 BOSTON in this market and is 

 apparently gaining al- 

 though the gain is slow. The present 

 week is a decided improvement over 

 the last in volume of business done 

 and good reports are received from the 

 buying trade throughout New England, 

 but the heavy increase in cut of some 

 staples hinders any general advance 

 in values and the accumulated stock 

 would give the impression that trade 

 has fallen off, which, happily, is not 

 so. Quality in general shows a very 

 gratifying gain. This applies to as- 

 ters, especially, which are better than 

 at any previous time this year but are 

 hopelessly over-loaded and to roses 

 which in the newer sorts such as Hil- 

 lingdon, Bulgarie and Radiance are 

 rapidly progressing towards a com- 

 manding position in the daily demand. 

 All other staple stock is in normal 

 supply and demand. 



The week enalng the 

 BUFFALO month of August showed 



a slight improvement 

 in the market. There is plenty 

 of stock and of good quality. Asters 

 were at their best, also gladioli and 

 other stock. The demand lias been a 

 little better than heretofore though 

 there are too many of the short ordi- 

 nary quality of asters which are hard 

 to dispose of at any price. Beauties 

 continue to be good and have sold sat- 

 isfactorily, also choice Maryland. Kai- 

 serin and Pres. Carnot. Fall weddings 

 are noticeable and lily of the valley 

 has had demand, also « hite roses

and Perles — the latter being very fine 

 from new crops. Richmonds are com- 

 ing to the front but the warm wi 

 er has a tendency to check the sales to 

 some extent. Golden Glow chrysan- 

 themums are seen more in quantity 

 but too early for the trade. A good 

 supply of greens in adiantum, Aspara 

 gus plumosus and Sprengeri is had. 



There is nothing strik- 

 CHICAGO ingly different in the 



condition of the cut 

 flower market from that of the past 

 four weeks except that the glut is a 

 thing of the past. First class stock 

 moves more slowly some days than is 

 satisfactory to the grower, but on 

 whole the past week has seen few 



good flowers go to waste. There is 

 generally too much stock of a lower 

 grade to be used to advantage and it 

 is here that the loss occurs. There 

 lias been a noticeable increase in 

 shipping orders which has helped to 

 use up the best stock. American 

 Beauties are particularly in demand 

 for this as they stand shipping better 

 now than the softer roses and all 

 Beauties were used up promptly this 

 work. Asters are still leading in 

 quantity. Some very fine blooms are 

 in the market and when there is so 

 much to choose from the small ones 

 are sure to be left unsold. Gladioli 

 re not coming in in such overwhelm-
