The Market. 



Market conditions continue mainly 

 inactive. In fact, it is surprising that 

 the market should be slow for so long a 

 time after a particularly good summer. 

 About the only activity is funeral work, 

 an occasional wedding and now and then 

 an entertainment decoration. Counter 

 sales, which usually begin to increase 

 at this time of year, are so few that 

 they are not worth mentioning. Most 

 counter sales are made to the working 

 class of people and the fewness of them 

 at this time is thought by some to be 

 due to the high prices of everyday neces- 

 sities. It is thought that when the 

 public has become used to the higher 

 price level, counter sales will again piay 

 an important part in the day's busi- 

 ness. 



As cooler weather comes, stock im- 

 proves in quality. During the week a 

 fair supply of American Beauty roses 

 has been handled. Other roses, white 

 excepted, have moved extremely slowly. 

 White roses have not been plentiful, 

 only enough arriving to supply the de- 

 mand for fall weddings. Some Easter 

 lilies have appeared, but they are not 

 in sufficient quantity to be of impor- 

 tance. What have come in have sold 

 for $3 per dozen. Asters are good and 

 have been steady in price since the large 

 supply of poor ones has been eliminated. 

 Gladioli are plentiful, but show a 

 marked decrease in supply. Calendulas, 

 cosmos and centaureas are slow at 15 

 cents per bunch of twenty-five. Fancy 

 ferns have advanced slightly. Aspara- 

 gus is equal to the demand. 



Various Notes. 



Roman Olrzewski is reported seriously 

 ill. 



Most of the shops are again open on 

 Sunday. 



The Cleveland cherry will play an im- 

 port part in the Christmas plant list. 

 Many plantings of these are in fine con- 

 dition. F. P. A.
