NEW YORK. 



The Market. 



The New Year's business in the cut 

 tlower market was notliinyf to boast of; 

 in fact, was not really better than that 

 generally described as of a, {^(lod Satur- 

 day. The suii])Iy during the week fol- 

 lowinj^ riiristmas was light, and the de- 

 mand just about active enoujih to absorb 

 re('ei])ts. The market conditions Tues 

 day, January :\, weri' anythiufj but excit- 

 injr; business was li^ht, e\'en witli the 

 supjily at a j)oint much below normal, 

 due to a few days of low tem]ierat ures. 

 For tlie first time this season ;i few slii|)- 

 ments arri\ed in a frozen state, although 

 th(! theiinonieter lias not yet t()U(died 

 /er«. 



A i'i'w chrysanthemums are still com- 

 iufj in, l)Ht do not invite sales, jiiirtly (ui 

 account of the late season for them ;tnd 

 partly owing to (piality, whiidi is low 

 indee(l. 



Hiilbous stock is arriving fre(dy, 

 Pajter White, Soleil d 'Or and Trum]>et 

 narcissi, but the asking ])rice, 7/1 cents 

 |ier bunch of one dozen flowers, is not 

 often fd)tained, sales .at aO to (iO cents 

 being about the niaik for most clear- 

 ances. 



The rose cut is light, but not at all 

 insuflicieiit, and ipioted prices of last 

 week :ire maintained. The sujiply of 

 .\merican Beauty is small, and the de- 

 mand for this v;niety is also small. 

 Ilybiid teas ai'e not o\erplent iful and 

 clean out well b(H'aus(> tliey are just 

 about in proportion to the demand. 



The orchid supply has lessened, but ar- 

 rivals are not moved easily and top 

 prices are lower tlian they were last 

 week, $lL'r» ])er hundred being the mark 

 for cattleyas, a few hybrids bringing 

 $]')() to $L'()(). ('y|iiii)ediums are in good 

 sii)ij)ly. but clearances are hard to effect. 

 White lilies are in fairly good sup])ly, 

 with sales hardly sufllcient to clear ar- 

 livals. Lily of the valley is over- 

 abundant, and much stock is left over 

 each day. altliongh prices are iin(diangod. 

 ('arnations are jjlentiful and do fairly 

 well, considering conditions. The top 

 price of last we(d<, ,*rj ]>er IniU'lred, is 

 w(dl maintained, and th(jre is no coni- 

 fda'int as to clearances. There is, liow- 

 e\er, a preponderance of whites, whicli 

 makes concessions in jirice iiiN'e>s;n-y at 

 t imes. 



Violets are Tiot jia rt icula rly abundant, 

 but arri\als move slowly. They are af- 

 t'ected somewhat by increased arrivals 



fif sweet ]Pcas. 



Th(> sujiply ol' iniscrlhincous flowers h;is 

 fallen ofl' a little, although there is still 

 [dt>nty of v.'iriety in the list of items 

 a\ailable. Iris tingitana is the principal 

 .■iinong the higher-[irii'ed subjects, with 

 strcditzia closidy t'dllowing. 4'ansics, 

 wallflowers, caleiululas. callas. cornflow- 

 ers, rubrum lilies, ilaisies. niyosotis, 

 primrost^s, tulips .•ind stevia nialuj up 

 about the rest of the list.

ANGELO J. ROSSI. 



F(~)R a long tiini^ ,\ngelo ,T. Ifossi has occupied a prominent place in the trade. 

 Now he occupies similarly a conspicuous jiosition in public life in San Fran- 

 cisco. Kecently tlu' people of that city, in a desire to reduce excessive taxes, de- 

 cided to elect on the l)oard ol' supervisors a gr(iu[i of business men of sound ])rin- 

 ciplcs and indeixndent attitude. Mr. Kossi led the ticket in tlie election that 

 renovated San Francisco politics. Now there is a growing hoi>e that he will be 

 the next mayor. Jiesidcs, as a member of Pelicmo, Hossi & Co., the trade has known 

 Mr. Kossi as a leader in the trade's activities, lie is likewise prominent in a 

 number of local business associjit ions, lie occupies tlui presiileiicy of the Californi.'i 

 Industries Association, wliicdi lately ga\'e a ilis[>lay of the state's industries in the 

 ci\ic auditorium of San I'rancisco.
