ological gardens in Cook county 's forest 

 preserve near Biverside has been fin- 

 ished and Peter Eeinberg, as president 

 of the board of commissioners, has 

 named November 30 for a conference 

 with a group of leading residents of 

 Chicago interested in the big enterprise. 

 The gardens will cover a tract of 300 

 acres between the Des Plaines river and 

 Salt creek and it is proposed to install 

 there the greatest zoo in the world. 

 Mr. Eeinberg will be its chief ofBcer. 



As indicating the magnitude of the 

 operations of Lubliner & Trinz, former 

 florists who now are movie magnates, 

 one of their string of more than a dozen 

 theaters was sold last week, the Vita- 

 graph, for $165,000. The sale does not 

 affect the tenancy of Lubliner & Trinz, 

 who operate the l,000-8eat theater under 

 a fifteen-year lease from September 1, 

 1914, at a net annual rental of $15,000, 

 the lessee paying all taxes, insurance 

 and upkeep. Their lease also includes 

 the stores and offices in the two-story 

 building. 



NEW YORK. 



The Market. 



With a large number of social func- 

 tions taking place and a series of col- 

 lege football games being played, it

 of flowers was not nearly normal, and

the demand even at that was not strong 

 enough to absorb arrivals, and clear- 

 ances were quite difficult to make. 

 Everybody is wondering what is the 

 matter with business. Betailers say that 

 prospective customers come into their 

 stores, look around, ask prices and go 

 out again without purchasing. When 

 one notes the light buying for retail 

 needs it is not hard to believe what the 

 retailers say. There is something out of 



joint, but none can say exactly what. 

 Eoses are not overplentiful, but move 

 slowly. Individual sales are small and 

 indicate hand-to-mouth buying. Ameri- 

 can Beauty is on the short side and the 

 top price has advanced to $100 per hun- 

 dred and even more for selected flowers. 

 Hybrid te»s are of excellent quality, but 

 last week's quotations still apply, there 

 being no change, although prices of the 

 short grades are somewhat firmer.
