The Market. 



Business in general during the last 

 week has about kept up to normal, but 

 that is all that can be said. There has 

 been a scarcity of stock, generally speak- 

 ing, and some orders consequently have 

 been turned down. The weather was 

 cool and the temperature showe'd a 

 marked drop below that of the previous 

 week. Vacations are in order and many 

 are taking it easy. 



Carnations are about gone, although 

 there are some growers in this vicinity 

 who say they will not be out entirely 

 this season. New stock will not come 

 in for some time, as most of the estab- 

 lishments have just about finished 

 planting. Asters are coming more heav- 

 ily, however, and are in fine condition. 

 They are filling the carnation gap nicely 

 and are moving well. Eoses are arriv- 

 ing in better supply. The new cut is 

 beginning to come in and the stock is in 

 fine form. The increased supply is taken 

 up readily and clears daily at good 

 prices. 



The supply of Easter lilies is not so 

 heavy as it has been and the market on 

 this stock is cleaning up much better. 

 Valley remains scarce and the quality 

 is hardly as good as it should be. There 

 are plenty of gladioli, and these play 

 no small part in the general business. 

 Fancy stock is selling well and bringing 

 good prices, but stock shipped in is not 

 moving so well, due to the fact that it 

 does not compare favorably with the 

 fresh local stock.

Various Notes. 



Among a number of visitors last 

 week were Mr. Budlong, of J. A. Bud- 

 long, Chicago; A. Eingier, of Chicago, 

 and Harry Balsley, of Detroit, Mich. 



The E. Welke Co. is making a special 

 display this week, featuring the tele- 

 graph end of the business. It has a 

 com,plete telegraphic outfit, a figure 

 representing a messenger boy and a 

 large quantity of telegraph blanks and 

 telegrams. The window should bring 

 good results. 



This community is eagerly waiting to 

 hear what the S, A. F. will do in regard 

 to the promotion of a permanent fund 

 for collective advertising for Mothers' 

 day. In our opinion, this is one of the 

 important things the convention will 

 have to deal with. H. J. S. 



The two insertions sold everything I 

 had. — H. M. Morris, Rantoul, 111.
