The Market. 



A banner Christmas business was fol- 

 lowed by an equally good trade for New 

 Year's. The demand for funeral work 

 has been so great as to set the law of 

 supply and demand askew. Prices, which 

 ruled abnormally high at Christmas, have 

 maintained an inflation that gives slight 

 indication of early reductions. The in- 

 fluenza epidemic has broken out again in 

 Providence. While it is of a milder form 

 than in September and t)ctober, the num- 

 i)er of deaths is sufficiently above the 

 normal rate to be materially felt in the 

 flower market.

 man & Co., is convalescing from an at- 

 tack of grip.
