The Market. 



Business during the last week has 

 been dead. It is the inevitable July 

 slump that comes every year, but this 

 season makes the record for inactivity, 

 low prices and general demoralization. 

 There is little good stock of anything 

 but lilies reaching the market. There 

 seems to be no end of these. One 

 wholesaler reports promises of a quarter 

 million from two of his growers, to 

 arrive during the next few weeks. 

 Sales on Saturday were over 13,000 and 

 the ice-box still was full to the brim. 

 This is not an isolated case; the same 

 report of oversupply comes from every 

 wholesale house handling lilies in quan- 

 tity. 



Koses show the effect of the heat and 

 not many of any variety are in good 

 selling condition. Few of the American 

 Beauties arriving are salable. An occa- 

 sional dozen, carefully selected, may 

 bring 20 cents each, but from 10 cents 

 down to the discard covers the quota- 

 tions of ninety-five per cent of all ar- 

 rivals. The same average applies to all 

 varieties of roses, except Mrs. Shawyer. 

 Small shipments of this comparative 

 novelty bring fair returns. The supply 

 of the other novelties is still limited, 

 with the exception of Double White 

 Killarney. Of the ordinary varieties 

 there is no reasonable quotation pos- 

 sible. 



The few good carnations nOw arriv- 

 ing can be bought for $1 per hundred. 

 As for the rest, what grower can afford 

 to produce them at 25 cents per hun- 

 dred ? No wonder the department stores 

 can advertise them at the demoralizing 

 price of 5 c^nts a dozen, which is also 

 the quotation for roses. There is now

little call for valley, and the best sel- 

 dom sells at over $2 a hundred. Sweet 

 peas are a drug and few are salable at 

 all. 



There seems to be already a surfeit 

 of early asters and dahlias have begun 

 to arrive. Of gladioli there is noi 

 limit thus early. What will it be when 

 the big shippers begin their flood f Fifty 

 cents is already top for everything but 

 the novelties. Even America was self-

 tleyas are down to 25 cents for the best 

 and some fine stock sold at $12 pef

 supply.

 demand except on Saturdays. The elim-
