PROVIDENCE. 



The Market. 



Indications of a return to normal con- 

 ditions, commercial, civic and social, 

 are seen on every hand and are even re- 

 flected in connection with matters per- 

 taining to the flower business. There 

 is an increasing demand for cut flowers 

 and potted plants for the home and plans 

 are in progress for a larger number of 

 elaborate social functions than for sev- 

 eral years. 



As there is also a disposition to fur- 

 nish whatever coal is reasonably neces- 

 sary for fuel purposes, several of the 

 greenhousemen who had announced their 

 intention of closing their ranges for 

 the winter are now preparing additional 

 benching so as to relieve the situation 

 as far as possible. The recurrence of 

 the influenza epidemic has caused an in-

crease in funeral demands that is affect- 

 ing tho market materially. 



Prices hold well, ranging above 

 normal. While curtailed in variety, 

 stock is coming along in better quantity 

 and quality. Christmas greenery has 

 made its appearance at prices above 

 those of former years, but the demand is 

 much greater and present rates un- 

 doubtedly will advance before the sea- 

 son closes.
