The Market. 



The market continues on the side of 

 ' ovcrsupjily, ;in(I the wholesalers expori- 

 eneo much dilhculty in effectin<; daily 

 clearances. The demand has improved 

 a little, hut is not yet what is usually 

 expected at this time of year. The 

 street vender is a fa\(>red customer 

 these days, and the ash barrel has no 

 cause rior (■omj)laint as to scarcity of 

 material. Under an avalanche of bulb- 

 ous material, rej;ular stajiles are de- 

 pressed, and low values are the order. 

 Tulips predominate, but the supply of 

 narcissi is quite heavy and is now in- 

 cre;ised by arrivals of Narcissus ])oet- 

 icus, of ex<-ellent (|Uiiiity. The weather 

 has favore(l tlie liulli {.^rowers, ;is may 

 he believed when it i^ known that 

 tulijis and narcissi in (lutdocir plantinj^s 

 lierealionts aie well out of the jiround.
