The Market. 



February went out "like a lion," 

 with frost and bitter winds, after a 

 week of spring. The 80-year-young 

 head of J. M. Thorburn & Co. reminded 

 me February 27 of tire~great blizzard- of 

 March, 1888, and said, "Plenty of time 

 yet for cold weather." But he antici- 

 pates an early spring. 



Business braced up generally at the 

 end of last week, after a characteristic 

 week of Lent, during most of which 

 dullness prevailed. The holiday Feb- 

 ruary 22 gave the week a bad start, 

 from which it was slow in recovering. 



American Beauties are down to $25 

 and $30 per hundred for the selected, 

 and have carried all varieties of roses 

 with them. Hadley and a few others 

 of the novelties hold well, but of the 

 lower grades and older varieties the 

 break has been, in quantities, as low 

 as $20 per thousand. 



Carnations are in large supply, and 

 prices are falling. But few sold at over 

 $2 per hundred, except the noVelties, 

 and $10 per thousand was the quotation 

 for the commoner stock, and even less, 

 to the big buyers. 



Lilies are lower, few selling above $6 

 per hundred, and in large lots are of- 

 fered at $5 and less. Valley seldom 

 sells above $2.50 per hundred for the 

 selects. Gardenias do not vary from 

 last week's quotations. _ All kinds of 

 bulbous stock are still in great profu- 

 sion, and prices are at rock-bottom. 

 Southern daffodils are expected shortly. 



Of spring flowers there is no end. 

 Acacia pubescens, lilac, pansies, stocks, 

 tulips, sweet peas — of these there are 

 enough and to spare. Violets seldom 

 sell above 25 cents per hundred, and 

 orchids seldom over 25 cents each; the 

 latter are gradually decreasing in ship- 

 ments.
