 NEW YORK. 



The Market. 



Last week closed in the midst of the 

 hottest wave of the season, with business 

 practically dead, rose shipments largely 

 small buds and short-stemmed, and the 

 retail department of the trade literally 

 "closed for repairs." In addition to 

 all this, the grasshoppers and the army 

 worms are getting in their deadly work, 

 and New York state and, in fact, the 

 whole eastern section of the country is 

 l>eing devastated by these pests, caus- 

 ing incalculable damage. 



As to the cut flower market, one sav- 

 i"g fact is the Newport season, which 

 '« at its height, and this, with the de- 

 mand for the steamer trade, keeps away 

 stagnation and uses about everything 

 first-class that arrives. There is no dif- 

 ficulty in disposing of all the special 

 I'eauties and teas that arrive, but these 

 are few. Most of the rose stock shows 

 tile effect of the extreme heat and is 

 almost unsalable. The select Mock, 

 ^liawyer. Sunburst, Double White Kil- 

 I irney. Double Pink Killarney and Kil- 

 'irney Brilliant are improving and 

 'ring fairly satisfactory prices. No 

 liigh-grade carnations are arriving. 

 ^lost of the stock is sleepy. Anything

at all choice brings $1 to $1.50 per hun- 

 dred. The greater part of the ship- 

 ments do not merit over 50 cents per 

 hundred. 



There seems to be no end to the lily 

 supply this season. Even the best of 

 these in quantity seldom go above $3 

 per hundred. In quality the high stand- 

 ard remains. Eubrums also are fine. 

 Valley is abundant and prices are re- 

 ceding. 



There seems to be still an over- 

 supply of orchids and a large number 

 of varieties. There is no recession in 

 the quantity of the sweet pea arrivals, 

 but few sell at prices encouraging to 

 the growers. Asters are already "too 

 numerous to mention" and prices have 

 receded to the dog-days level. The 

 gladiolus flood has already burst its 

 barriers. Every wholesale house 

 seemed to be supplied fully on Satur- 

 day. The demand for pails in which 

 to hold them was the largest ripple of 

 the overflow.
