The Market. 



Business last week was slow. The 

 extremely hot weather which has pre- 

 vailed during the month, liad affected 

 the quality of the stock, tdth ^he re- 

 sult that many varieties of flowers are 

 to be had at the buyer's own price. 

 CsfMiations aT'e \o small as to be un- 

 desirable and the roses present a soft 

 appearance in general keeping with the 

 apathy of the Washingtonians, for this 

 is the vacation period. Locally grown 

 cattleyas are somewhat scarce. Asters 

 are not yet sufficient in quantity to 



prove a factor in the market and s'*' 

 dioli find little demand.
