Tlie Market. 



Owing to the continuous dark weather 

 the last two weeks and mums being out 

 of the market, the supply of stock is 

 not equal to the demand. Sweet peas 

 were mostly affected by the dark 

 weather, many of the plants having 

 dropped their buds. There is, however, 

 some stevia coming in, and also Paper 

 Whites.
