The Market. 



The beginning of Lent, together with 

 a big drop in the death toll and epi- 

 demic of influenza and pneumonia, made 

 a noticeable decrease in the demand 

 last week and, according to expecta- 

 tions, the end is not yet. Prices are 

 likewise falling, American Beauties 

 bringing only $7.50 per dozen and roses 

 in variety anywhere from $6 to $20 

 per hundred. Carnations, which con- 

 tinue scarce, are $8 and $10 per hundred, 

 while sweet peas of superb quality 

 range from $1 to $3 per bunch of 100. 

 Violets are again a drag on the market 

 and demand only 75 cents and $1 per 

 hundred. Greens have again become 

 plentiful. Some Spanish iris of excel- 

 lent quality is arriving and demanding 

 $12 and $15 per hundred.

 inaugurated some time ago, but without 

 permanent headqijiarters.

 the sales staff of the main store of the
