The Market. 



Supply and demand act somewhat like 

 the ocean waves, alternately rising and 

 falling. For a few days there was an 

 unusual demand for stock and then there 

 was seemingly no call at all. Supply 

 during the last week has been beyond 

 demand and stock was offered at low 

 prices. During the closing days, ship- 

 ments began to decrease and it is ex- 

 pected that a week of short supply is 

 due, to last at least until asters and 

 gladioli commence their reign. The out- 

 door supply of gladioli promises to be 

 better than that of last summer. In- 

 door gladioli have brought better prices 

 than ever, and the supply has been far 

 below demand. 



. Sunday Closiiis. 



The Retail Florists' Association held 

 a meeting at the Iroquois hotel July 8. 

 It was moved and carried, ' ' That the re- 

 tail stores shall close on Sunday during 

 the months of July, August and Septem- 

 ber, and that all stores shall be notified 

 to that effect." It was then added 

 that, on account of the peculiar nature 

 of the florists' business and in order to 

 regulate matters properly, any florist 

 should be allowed to make a delivery or 

 receive an order, if it is necessary to do 

 80. This point waa brought up so that 

 the matter of closing would meet the 

 satisfaction of all and allow time to 

 bring the matter carefully before the 

 public. 



The leading newspapers announced 

 the adoption of Sunday closing, and it 

 is expected that after a few months 

 people will no longer expect to make 

 their purchases on Sunday. If every- 

 one is satisfied at the end of the summer 

 months the motion will be amended and 

 the stores continue to be closed on Sun- 

 day. Uniform stock signs are provided 

 and may be had free from the William 

 F. Kasting Co. July 13 was the first day 

 of closing. 



Various Notes. 



Mark Palmer and family left for their 

 summer home on Lake of Bays, Mus- 

 koka. 



Local showers during the last week 

 greatly improved stock plants and out- 

 door crops. 



Already the stage is being set for the 

 florists' outing July 23. An attendance 

 greater than last year is expected. 



Several of the stores are closing 

 Wednesday afternoons during the sum- 

 mer months and they report the practice 

 satisfactory. F. P. A.
