paying $10 to $11 per ton for coal not 

 so good as the mine-run from central 

 Illinois. 



The E. Wienhoeber Co., in the district 

 popularly called the gold coast, was 

 one florist that profited by the Repub- 

 lican convention. The calls for table 

 centerpieces That week are reported to 

 have been heavier than in any other 

 week this season. Wedding work has 

 been heavy all this month. William 

 Wienhoeber and wife left June 19 for 

 Catalina island, off the coast of south- 

 ern California, to have a try at the big 

 fish there. They exjiect to be away 

 about a month. 



About 12,000 dozens of peonies in 

 cold storage represented the supply of 

 the A. L. Kandall Co., at the time local 

 arrivals ceased. Eric Johnson says he 

 wishes it was 40,000 dozen, because he 

 is confident July will bring better busi- 

 ness than this market ever enjoyed in 

 that month. 



June 21 there was a feather in the 

 cap of E. F. Winterson and other signs 

 of unusual events. It was his fifty- 

 first birthday anniversary. 



John Poehlmann says business al- 

 ways is dull with those who only sit 

 and wait, but that he believes enough 

 retailers will keep up appearances this 

 summer so that it will turn out to be 

 the best July and August in the his- 

 tory of the trade. 



John P. Degnan leaves June 26 for 

 Fresno, Cal. 



F. M. Johnson comments on the un- 

 usually difficult situation of the mortiont, 

 with buyers clamoring for lower prices 

 and the cost of raw materials and labor 

 unquestionably still going up. No one 

 is more anxious than Mr. Johnson to 

 see the price level begin to fall, but he 

 is of the opinion that the turning point 

 has not yet been reached. 



It is reported that W. A. Hansen, 

 assistant to C. J. Michelsen, of the E. 

 C. Amling Co., is to be married early 

 next month, the prospective bride being 

 one of the popular young lady book- 

 keepers in the market.
