The Market. 



The market last week was over- 

 crowded with cut stock of all kinds — 

 more so than at any previous time this 

 fall. The weather was the coldest we 

 have had for twenty-eight years in No- 

 vember; the thermometer registered QVa 

 <legrees above zero. Chrysanthemums of 

 the best grades are heavily in demand 

 and there are not enough of them to 

 meet the demand in all colors, but there 

 is an overwhelming glut of the inferior 

 grades. In most seasons there are not 

 enough of the smaller grade of mums, 

 but this year's oversupply was caused 

 by the lack of water during last sum- 

 mer's drought. The cheap chrysanthe- 

 mum sales do not hurt those who have 

 mums of good quality, as thev find a

ready sale for their stock. Carnations 

 also have been a glut on the market 

 and last week they were on sale at 

 the dry goods stores along with the 

 cnrysanthemums, at 2 cents apiece. 

 Still, there are fewer carnations on the 

 market than there were a year ago, as 

 most of the growers in this vicinity 

 have not come up to the average cut 

 of October and November. Boses are 

 plentiful, but not more than sufficient 

 for the demand. Mrs. Kussell Is the 

 leading rose here, bringiag a better 

 price than any other rose on the mar- 



ket. It seems to be just about what 

 the public desires in color. There are 

 plenty of Killarneya for the present 

 demand, but a change is expected soon, 

 as there will not be any more mums 

 to make the market sluggish. 



A good Thanksgiving business is ex- 

 pected and the chances are that mums 

 will be rather scarce for that day, 

 unless big shipments of them come in 

 from out of town.
