PHILADELPHIA. 



The Market. 



The Rev. Billy Sunday has been draw- 

 ing immense crowds to the Tabernacle 

 daily. His plans, down to the num- 

 ber of exits and of stoves, was so 

 thoroughly advertised that everybody 

 knew all about them when he arrived. 

 The success of the meetings has been ex- 

 traordinary, a wonderful tribute to his 

 marvelous ability and to advertising. 

 Perhaps this may seem a digression 

 from the subject in hand, but were you 

 to attempt to report the wholesale cut 

 flower market this week you would have 

 doubts whether that were so, particu- 

 larly as the market is aa dull as the 

 reverend gentleman is full of life. 

 There has been little doing in flowers; 

 conditions are bad. The supply is 

 smaller than it has been, the demand 

 much smaller. (Jarnations have suffered 

 more than any other flower; it was 

 quite impossible to sell them all at 

 any price, despite their fine quality. 

 Orchids have been cheap. The little 

 Percivaliana and small flowers of 

 Trianaj have depressed the price even 

 on the finer stock. The same is true in 

 some measure of gardenias; the best 

 sell at listed prices, the others far be- 

 low. Valley is having a hard time, 

 while violets and even the newly ar- 

 rived daffodils and freesia have fallen 

 in price. Roses have done a little bet- 

 ter, except the Beauties, which are in

bad shape. While yellow, red and 

 white roses are scarce, there is not 

 enough demand to advance the price. 

 Calla lilies and snapdragon are in de- 

 mand, with Easter lilies and sweet peas 

 following, perhaps because there are 

 more of them. There is plenty of white 

 lilac and an abundance of green. 



System. 



Visitors to the store of the Henry 

 F. Michell Co., who brave the turmoil 



and cock-a-doodledooiiig ot tlie poultry 

 show, this week, miss the genial floor 

 manager, Fred Cowpertliwaite. Inquiry 

 reveals the fact that a new department 

 has been quietly and thoroughly or- 

 ganized on the balcony overhead. Here 

 Mr. Cowperthwaite was found installed 

 on the eastern side witli half dozen as- 

 sistants charged with running the new 

 order department. It is the duty of 

 this department to receive, record, dis- 

 patch and follow up every order. Ten
