station, plus a reasonable commission 

 for tne salesman's work. The bids are 

 opened and it is found that some whole- 

 saler in Iowa, Illinois or New York has 

 quoted a price even lower than we could 

 buy the stock ourselves in carload lots. 

 Is this protection or encouragement to 

 a salesman, and, above all, what kind of 

 impression does it make on the public? 

 The result of this kind of competition is 

 that the order is placed with the whole- 

 saler. 



Now, gentlemen, do you not think 

 that the wholesalers, through a central 

 bureau and through cooperation, could 

 remedy these practices? I am satis- 

 fied that they could, and I firmly be- 

 lieve that the retailers are entitled to 

 protection and encouragement from the 

 wholesalers. All we ask is that you 

 make wholesale prices only to those en- 

 gaged in the business, and if you wish 

 to sell at retail we offer no objection, 

 but we do want you to quote a price 

 no lower than we are compelled to ask 

 for the goods when we buy from you 

 and resell through our salesmen, who 

 receive a commission. 



FORT WAYNE, IND. 



The Market. 



The change to cool weather last week 

 had a favorable effect on business. The 

 demand was far greater than during the 

 whole month of July and the stores 

 were scenes of activity. Funeral work 

 is in the lead, counter trade shows a 

 great improvement and there are a few 

 good-sized weddings. 



Tho quality of the cut flowers, botli 

 greenhouse-grown and outdoor stock, 

 has improved as a result of the cooler 

 weather. Gladioli are tlie leaders and 

 bring from $3 to $.■) per hundred. There 

 are a large number of lilies, the majority 

 of these selling at $8 per hundred. 

 Asters are plentiful and their quality 

 is good, the blooms bringing good re- 

 turns. Fine summer rosos wholesale 

 from $2 to $6 per hundred. These in- 

 clude Eussell, Ophelia, Shawyer and 

 Sunburst. Carnations are not to be 

 reckoned with. 



Dahlias are coming into the market 

 in much larger quantities and there are 

 some fine oncidiums. Sweet peas are
