The Market. 



Business is improving and during the 

 last two weeks it greatly exceeded that 

 of previous weeks. Mums are the 

 leader, as usual at this date, and they 

 are of good quality. The supply has 

 been heavy but within bounds; there 

 has been no surplus as yet to speak of. 

 November 4 was a big day for mums on 

 account of the football game, and from 

 the_o:^tlook at present there does not 

 seem much danger of an overflow of 

 mums in this market. 



Beauties are scarce, with the demand 

 indifferent. Other roses are of fine 

 quality and are moving nicely, consider- 

 ing the heavy supply of mums. Carna- 

 tions are coming in heavily and are be- 

 ing cleaned up as they come in. They 

 have been bringing a little more than 

 usual at this time. Sweet peas are more 

 plentiful and clear nicely at good prices. 

 There are some lilies to be had, but it 

 seems that the demand is rather weak. 

 Violets are here, but as a rule they are 

 not extra good. 



The valley proposition is a hard one 

 and it really is not safe to take orders 

 for sprays. There have been several 

 disappointments lately and some have 

 refused to take orders for it. There is 

 a good demand for bulbs and quite a 

 call for potted plants, but these have 

 been in limited supply. 



Various Notes. 



Sherman Stephens & Son report busi- 

 ,ness good and stock hard to get. 



The Livingston Seed Co. says it ia 

 cleaning up stock closely on account 

 of the heavy demand. 



The Fifth Avenue Floral Co. has been 

 cutting heavily of mums, roses and car- 

 nations, and has put a new Overland 

 delivery car into commission. 



T. J. Ludwig has been having quite 

 a run on small baskets filled with mums. 

 J. M. 



Belleville, 111.— G. W. Grossart sus- 

 tained a slight damage by fire at his 

 store October 26. The fire started from 

 a pile of ashes from some weeds that 

 had been burned the night previous.
