The Market. 



Trade generally shows a slight im- 

 provement, which is becoming more 

 noticeable daily. Everyone in this 

 locality is hoping that the worst is now 

 over and that we may have the usual 

 tall business without any further delay. 

 The present summer's quiet is probably 

 the longest on record, and the retailers 

 have made but little money the last 

 three months. With the growers things 

 have been slightly better, but the prices 

 for almost everything have been low, 

 with only a moderate demand. Even 

 at the present writing it is hardly 

 worth while giving quotations. The 

 daily demand seems to regulate every- 

 thing and but little difference is made 

 between fancy and ordinary stock. 

 Asters continue to hold sway, although 

 they are not quite so plentiful as they 

 have been. The best quality sells at 

 from $1 to $1.50 per bunch of ten 

 dozen flowers. Mums are not yet at 

 their best, although they are daily be- 

 coming more in evidence. Japanese 

 and other lilies are cheaper than they 

 were one month ago, but they will not 

 last much longer. 



Valley is only in fair supply an^ moves 

 well. Violets are poor, owing to the 

 dry weather. Amaryllis is scarcer. 

 Dahlias are good and sell at the same 

 prices that they have been at for the 

 'ast month. Gladioli are almost gone. 

 Roses, except the whites and pinks, are 

 in good demand, with only a fair sup- 

 ply being brought into town. Carna- 

 'ions are good and cheap. Orchids are 

 -^till almost entirely oflf crop. Other 

 lines of stock remain as they have been 

 'or the last few weeks.
