The Market. 



Compared with the business done dur- 

 ing the latter part of October and the 

 first days of November, the market has 

 been slow this week. The sales amount 

 to an apparently satisfactory total, but 

 this is not a good gauge to go by in 

 these times. Stock is high-priced, which 

 makes the investment greater than ever 

 before. Sales, therefore, should show a 

 decided increase over those of a year 

 ago. But is the increase great enough? 

 A.lmo8t everyone reports that sales are 

 better than a year ago. But the im- 

 portant point to note is whether the 

 difiference between the sales and the 

 stock investment is proportionate to 

 that of a year ago. In the last months 

 the growers have been better off than 

 the retailers. Their returns have been 

 good for everything brought in and 

 fancy stock still brings fancy prices. 

 A. local grower brings in pompons, tied 

 twelve sprays to the bunch, and gets 

 $1.50 per bunch. Ordinary stock sells 

 for 75 cents per bunch, and good mums 

 bring $4 per dozen. These prices are 

 100 per cent higher than the prices for 

 the same grade of stock a year ago. 

 Roses are not bringing an increase in 

 proportion to lilies, mums and carna- 

 tions. 



There is one condition the retailers 

 will have to contend with this winter. 

 That is a shortage of carnations. Sev- 

 eral of the carnation growers planted 

 mums, with the intention of closing their 

 houses later. They made no prepara- 

 tions for changed conditions. Some of 

 them have no coal and it is doubtful
