The Market. 



Conditions in the wholesale market 

 last week were splendid in every re- 

 spect, especially in the latter part of 

 the week, when the demand became so 

 large that the markets were cleaned 

 up early in the day. The prices also 

 stiffened. This was caused by the 

 large demand for St. Valentine's day, 

 which becomes more profitable each 

 year. A few years ago violets only 

 were sold for this day, but now all 

 kinds of flowers are in demand. There 

 was a heavy cut of single violets, with 

 only a few doubles. The best of these 

 brought $1 per hundred and com- 

 mon, short-stemmed stock brought 

 50 cents per hundred. Next in 

 demand came sweet peas, of which 

 a large cut was sent in. Fancy 

 Spencers sold at $1.50 per hundred and 

 common varieties at 75 cents per hun- 

 dred. The market was cleaned up 

 nicely at these prices. Roses are in- 

 creasing in supply and a few more 

 bright, warm days will bring on a 

 large production. Beauties and all 

 other roses sold well. Carnations met 

 with a large demand. These, too, will 

 soon be in full crop. Tulips sold well, 

 as also did valley and daffodils. Of 

 lilies, Romans and Paper Whites there 

 is a good supply daily. Asparagus and 

 ferns are in great demand. Smilax has 

 been dragging badly of late.
