Tbe Market. 



Business has approached nearer to 

 normal conditions during the last week 

 than for a considerat)le time. There has 

 been a slight improvement in the sup- 

 ply and a slight easing off in the de- 

 mand, especially for funeral work, with 

 the consequence that there is practi- 

 cally a normal market, though prices are 

 slightly higher. The increasing sup- 

 ply of bulbous stock is also a factor in 

 the changing conditions. Whereas the 

 spring graduation exercises in the gram- 

 mar schools of the city a few years ago 

 were an occasion calling for many 

 flowers, those of the last week were held 

 without the customary elaborate set- 

 ting, and it is doubtful if they resulted 

 in the selling of a single dollar's worth 

 of flowers. 



Various Notes. 



Aaron Cohen has been at his home in 

 this city the last week on a furlough

Wheeling, W. Va. — Fire destroyed 

 grain and hay stored in the stable of 

 Albert Lash, at Warwood, recently and 

 damaged the building considerably. Ef- 

 fective work on the part of the fire de- 

 partment saved the building and pre- 

 vented the fire from spreading to the 

 residence.
