The Market. 



The downtown stores are experiencing 

 the dullest season of the year and 

 there is comparatively little movement 

 in stock of any kind. Funeral wol-k is 

 the only activity, although an occa- 

 sional wedding assists. On the other 

 hand, the growers and greenhousemen 

 are busy from dawn to dark. 



Prices are at their lowest ebb. As- 

 ters and gladioli vie for leading honors 

 in popularity. The asters, white and 

 lavender, lead, because of their adapta- 

 bility for funeral work. A few dahlias 

 have made their appearance, but these 

 are sluggish as to sale, not having as 

 yet attained much popularity. 



Various Notes. 



George L. Stillman, of Westerly, had 

 a large exhibit of dahlias at the New- 

 port show last week. 



Ellen T. O'Connor had special pieces 

 for the Arnold funeral last week. The

 the plants looking especially promising.
