The Market. 



As is usual at the period just pre- 

 ceding Easter, the local market is in 

 poor shape, with little activity, except 

 such as is caused by funerals. With an 

 early Easter, however, the general 

 opinion is that there will be a brisk 

 business following, as there are a num- 

 ber of large weddings and social func- 

 tions scheduled during the spring. 

 Prices have droj)pcd off a trifle. 



Various Notes. 



Miss Margaret Macrae, daughter of 

 the late Farquhar Macrae, and sister of 

 Alexander and Walter Macrae, had a 

 narrow escape recently. She was 

 knocked down by an automobile near 

 her home, but, fortunately, no bones 

 were broken, althougli she was badly 

 bruised and shaken up. 



Joseph Koppelman was a business 

 visitor in Boston last week. 



Charles Macnair spent a part of last 

 week in New York and vicinity. 



William Lasell has succeeded James 

 Taylor, of Chepiwanoxet, as superin- 

 tendent of the Sprague farm at Narra- 

 gansett. 



The Westminster Greenhouses, Inc., 

 have been making exhibitions of Co- 

 lumbia roses in their windows that have 

 attracted considerable attention. 



Fred Dietz, of French street, was in 

 New York last week looking for sup- 

 plies. 



Reuben Popkin, who conducts two 

 stores on Washington street under the 

 firm name of Smith, the Florist, is 

 talking of consolidating the two at the 

 Washington market stand, corner of 

 Washington and Union streets. 



T. J. Johnston & Co. and Burke & 

 Burns have received notice to vacate 

 the building in which they are located 

 by April 1, as the building is to be torn 

 down.

 covered from an attack of hiccoughs

Amos Darling, of Oakland, has the 

 sympathy of the entire trade in the

 several years it was Mrs. Darling's cus- 

 tom to assist her husband in his busi- 

 ness. While engaged in making up a 

 floral piece for a funeral she received a 

 shock from which she failed to recover.
