The Market. 



The market suffered considerably last 

 week and weather conditions were un- 

 usually bad, especially at a time when 

 there was so much stock on the market. 

 The heavy rain the first part of the week 

 was unfavorable for moving stock and, 

 beginning Wednesday, no flowers or any 

 perishable stock could be shipped north, 

 on account of the heavy sleet storms 

 throughout the entire northern part of 

 the state. This cut off all shipping busi- 

 ness for four days and the lines were 

 not opened at this writing, February 27). 

 Telegrams were also twenty-four hours 

 late, but no shipments could be made, 

 even after receijit of the orders. 



Conditions never were so bad in the 

 history of the weather bureau. Such a 

 heavy rainfall at this time of the year 

 was never before experienced in this 

 state. The rain was followed by freez- 

 ing weather, which caused the destruc- 

 tion of thousands of telegrajdi poles, one 

 of the principal causes of l)]()ck('(l train 

 service. 



On account of the shipping Imsiness 

 being cut off, stock accumulated rapidly 

 on the market, and there was a great 

 deal more on the market than could be 

 consumed. Stock 1i;h1 to lie sold at a low 

 price to move tlie (piantity on hand.
