The Market. 



Business during the first half of last 

 week was about normal, with no great 

 change in prices. February 5 the worst 

 blizzard which New England had ex- 

 perienced since the great storm of Nov- 

 ember 26, 1898, almost completely par- 

 alyzed business of every description. 

 The official record gave the snowfall 

 as fifteen and one-half inches, but a 

 fierce northeast gale whirled it into 

 great drifts and transportation of any 

 kind was almost impossible. The Bos- 

 ton elevated and tunnel trains made 

 fairly good time, but surface lines were, 

 in many cases, snowed up entirely and 

 are not yet all in operation. To make 

 matters worse for shippers, few trains 

 were operated on the N. Y., N. H. & H. 

 B. E. February 5, 6 and 7, while but a 

 limited number came in or were sent out 

 over the Boston & Maine and Boston & 

 Albany systems. Wholesalers who had 

 sent boxes down February 5 were or- 

 dered to take them away the following 

 day, as deliveries were out of the ques- 

 tion. The commencement of this weok 

 saw somewhat milder weather and it is 

 hoped that marooned cities, towns and 

 villages will all be reached soon, but 

 additional snow and sleet February 6 

 and 7 were discouraging features, and 

 more precipitation is promised. 



Little is to be said of the cut flower 

 market. There were few arrivals Feb- 

 ruary 5, 6 and 7 and buyers were scarce, 

 but prices held about the same, with 

 carnations selling at $10 and $15, and 

 roses showing a weakening tendency. 

 February 9 conditions were nearly nor- 

 mal, although it was still impossible to 

 get shipments to or from a good many 

 points, but the outlook is more en- 

 couraging, and it looks as though St. 

 Valentine's day would see all lines of 

 trafl5c opened unless more snow storms 

 come.
