The Market. 



A few weddings and funerals have 

 kept local business conditions from be- 

 ing entirely inactive, but there has 

 been no rush. Notwithstanding that 

 carnations and roses are off crop, there 

 was plenty of stock on hand for all 

 demands. Indications, however, point 

 to business starting up early in the fall 

 and with more than usual activity. 

 From preparations that are being made 

 by growers, it would appear that they 

 arc ex]iecting bigger business from in- 

 creased benching.
