PROVIDENCE, R. I. 



The Market. 



Business was especially good last 

 week, following the Memorial day 

 trade, which was the largest ever ex- 

 perienced in this city and vicinity. 

 Funerals havo been numerous, while an 

 unusual number of June weddings has 

 kept things moving with considerable 

 activity. A late sjiring, which has re- 

 tarded" outdoor flowers, has affected ma- 

 terially the general business conditions. 

 Notwithstan<ling the great demand, 

 however, prices have dropped notice- 

 ably. Carnations, the last offerings, 

 have been quoted at $2 to $4 per hun- 

 dred; roses, $2 to $20; sweet peas, $1 

 and $2; gladioli, $10 to $15; lilies, $8 

 to $12, and marguerites, $2.
