The Market. 



For several days last week, the mar- 

 ket was considerably out of balance. 

 The supply of cut flowers was exceed- 

 ingly generous and the demand fell 

 away to such an extent that pre-war 

 prices on several commodities resulted 

 from the effort to make clearances. Of 

 course, gluts have often been in evi- 

 dence at this season of the year, but 

 not in recent years. If others than the 

 customary shippers to this market have 

 contributed to the supply, it is not 

 known, so the heavy bulk of arrivals 

 could hardly have been any more than 

 normal. Still, business has been far 

 out of gear. No one seems to be able 

 to account for the small demand. With 

 the bugbear of high prices out of the 

 way, there seems to be no possible 

 reason to advance for the situation. 

 The jokers claim that it is due to ])ro- 

 hibition. Funeral work of late has 

 been light, but a great deal of wedding 

 work has offset this deficiency. 



During the week, carnations dropped 

 to a low price, in fact, to the lowest 

 figure that has been reached since be- 

 fore the war, and that was for fresh 

 stock. Roses went down to $2 per hun- 

 dred for No. 2 grade, with inferiors and 

 open stock selling at $1. Tulips 

 held up well, although some fair stock 

 changed hands at 25 cents per bunch. 

 Narcissus poeticus was cleared at as 

 low as four bunches for $1, while White 

 Lady narcissus hardly found buyers at
