The Market. 



Supply and demand were just about 

 equal last week. It has usually been 

 necessary to call on the outside markets 

 to supply a good part of the stock, but 

 this was not the case last week. Trade, 

 while it has been fair, has not shown the 

 briskness of recent weeks. It is sur- 

 prising to note that we have gone 

 through the fall and part of the winter 

 without experiencing a glutted market. 

 Once or twice it seemed as if we were 

 going to be swamped with stock, but it 

 usually wound up with a shortage be- 

 fore prices had a chance to drop. It is 

 reported that this market has never ex- 

 perienced such steady times and, from 

 present indications, even plants are go- 

 ing to be scarce for Christmas, This 

 1 shortage may not prove so acute, be- 

 cause the retail trade is expecting high 

 prices and stock will readily be turned 

 to any make-up the retailer's art may 

 present. Already there are considerable 

 displays, ranging from tiny baskets of 

 strawflowers to bouquets of prepared 

 stock in colonial style. At least it is 

 true that the one who expects to sell 

 plants as they are is not going to find 

 Christmas trade especially profitable, 

 because plants that are readily salable 

 are not to be had in large quantities. 



Various Notes, 



The Quality Flower Shop, incorporat- 

 ed some time ago, has opened a shop on 

 Chippawa street, near Main street. 



It is worthy of note that the Buffalo 

 Courier's flower department is taking 

 up much more space than the beauty de- 

 partment. 



The outside decorations at S. A. An- 

 derson's store are attracting a lot of 

 attention. Drapes of lycopodium roping 

 lead from a window box of Christmas 

 greens at the third story to attractive 

 wreaths at each side of the store. 



Karl Butz, of Lockport, N, Y., paid 

 his friends a visit during the week. He 

 reports a new baby girl at his home. 



G. E. McCoy, representing the A. L. 

 Randall Co., Chicago, made his rounds 

 last week. Mr. McCoy reports espe- 

 ciallv heavv selling of ruscus.
