The Market. 



The wholesalers were better satisfied 

 with the returns of business last week 

 than those of the week previous. Roses 

 are improving iu quality and increasing 

 in quantity. Prices of the better grades

 have been. The better grades of asters 

 and gladioli are on the decrease. Dahlias 

 are more plentiful. The retailers have 

 noticed an increase in the demand for 

 cut flowers, and funeral work remains 

 about tlie same.
