Very little change 

 PROVIDENCE took place in the 

 market here during 

 the nasi week, which still remains 

 dull and uncertain. Carnations soared 

 in price, with choice stock bringing 

 $2. mi per 100, with the demand in ex- 

 cess of the supply. At least a part ot 

 the shortage is due to the fact that 

 scum of the dealers are sending their
