The Market. 



A change in the weather, which 

 caused the killing off of all outdoor 

 stock, resulted in shortening indoor pro- 

 duction and stiffening prices. The ad- 

 vance has been slight, as the demand for 

 stock has been limited. This has been 

 an exceptionally good year for chrysan- 

 themums and these were brought into 

 the market in far greater quantities 

 than could be disposed of locally. This 

 condition was offset to quite an extent 

 by the demands of the south, to which 

 large shipments w^ere made. There has 

 been a good sale here for bronze chrys- 

 anthemums, but at low prices. Minnie 

 Bailey and Timothy Eaton are among 

 the new arrivals and these, with Bon- 

 naffon, Engiiehard and Turner, form the 

 staples and sell at prices averaging 

 about $12.50 per hundred. Violets are 

 still scarce, although of good quality. 

 Sweet peas are more plentiful and are 

 selling well at $1 per hundred for the 

 ordinary and $1.50 for the orchid-flow- 

 ering varieties. Orchids are not plen- 

 tiful, but are sufficient for all demands. 



Various Notes. 



Maggie Pooley, a gypsy, is being held 

 under bonds of $2,000 to answer to a 

 charge of robbery of two $100 bills from 

 George A. Comley, florist, 1204 Wis- 

 consin avenue, northwest. Mr. Comley 

 testified that the woman came into his 

 place of business and insisted upon tell- 

 ing his fortune, for which he paid 50 

 cents. After she was gone he discov- 

 ered that the money had been stolen. 

 Money described by him was subse- 

 quently found secreted within a loaf of 

 bread which the woman was carrying. 



Mrs. J. A. Phillips, who operates The 

 Flower Store, at 2820 Fourteenth street, 

 northwest, met with the sad loss of 

 her mother, Mrs. Mary A. Machen, aged 

 73 years. The body was taken to To- 

 ledo, O., for burial. 



Andrew Glorius, 96 years of age, as- 

 sociated for many years with his 

 brother, the late Greorge GloriuSj who 

 was one of the pioneer florists of Wash- 

 ington, died last week at his home in 

 Silver Spring, Md.
