in some respect with reference to the 

 sale or construction of a thing not im- 

 minently dangerous. 



". . . . The Avenarius Carbolin- 

 eum is not shown to be of a noxious or 

 dangerous kind. It was not shown that 

 the defendant had been guilty of fraud 

 or deceit in passing off the article, or 

 that the defendant had sold or ever had 

 possession of the article purchased by 

 the plaintiff; and it was not shown that 

 the defendant had been negligent in any 

 respect with reference to the sale of the 

 article purchased by the plaintiff and 

 used upon his fruit trees. Not coming 

 within any of these exceptions, the gen- 

 eral rule must apply that where there is 

 no privity of contract between the plain- 

 tiff and the defendant, with reference 

 to the sale of the Avenarius Carbo- 

 lineum, no liability exists against the 

 defendant." S.

PROVIDENCE. 



The Market. 



The market during the last week was 

 in fair condition. All the growers and 

 retailers were busy preparing for the 

 Easter business. The growers were espe- 

 cially busy, as the lateness of Easter 

 crowds that holiday close to Memorial 

 day. Prices took a slight decline in 

 some cases, though not sufficient to 

 make any material general change. 

 Roses were quoted at $3 to $18, Co- 

 lumbia, Russell and Francis Scott Key 

 being the topnotchers. Carnations 

 brought $4 to $6 ; bulbous stock, $5 and $6. 



The entire week was cold, raw, driz- 

 zling and disagreeable, the lack of sun- 

 shine making a considerable difference 

 in, the regular cut; but the weather has 

 served to check, to some degree, the 

 rapid advancement of stock that was be- 

 ing held for Easter.
