The Market. 



During the last week the wliolesale 

 market had its ups and downs. In the 

 early part of the week there was plenty 

 of stock; then eanie cloudy weather and 

 plenty of rain, which shortened up 

 shipments and made stock scarce. As 

 the demand for Mothers' day became 

 heavy prices shot upward. By Satur- 

 day noon every market was cleaned up, 

 which siiowed that tlie retailers must 

 have had a heavy demand for Mothers' 

 day. Some of the leading retailers say 

 that the exceedingly low prices of the 

 week previous and the sudden change 

 to high prices hurt in some cases. Still, 

 the public wanted flowers for this day 

 and they paid the prices. 



Carnations were in great demand all 

 the week and the price went up as high 

 as 12 cents for fancies; 8 to 10 cents in 

 other grades. The supply was not large 

 enough for the demand. Roses were in 

 better supply and these, too, advanced 

 a few cents in all grades. Fancy grades 

 cleaned out early on advance orders 

 and all other grades cleaned up nicely 

 before noon.
