hit the local nail on its head. "The 

 article is decidedly sensible and well 

 written, according to my view," he 

 says. "I tried to get the florists in 

 my neighborhood to close on Sunday, 

 but without success. Last year two of 

 us closed on the Sabbath during July 

 and August, but this year I am doing 

 it alone, as far as I know. I have al- 

 ways advocated closing on Sunday and 

 would like to see it done the year 

 around. It is a shame that the florists, 

 saloonkeepers and Greek fruit dealers 

 are the only business men who cannot 

 make a living in six days a week. 

 Keep up the good work and push Sun- 

 day closing." 



Jnly Weather. 



July was an unusually favorable 



month for those who work under glass 

 and good for most field stock. For the 

 third consecutive month the weather 

 was cool and moist. The month, with 

 an average temperature of 70.2 degrees, 

 was the coldest July since 1895, and it 

 averaged 2.2 degrees below the normal. 

 No daily temperature reached 90 de- 

 grees, the highest being 88 degrees 

 July 15. The lowest temperature was 

 53 degrees. An appreciable amount of 

 rain fell,, on fourteen days, well dis- 

 tributed throughout the month. The 

 total was 5.57 inches, which is an ex- 

 cess of 1.93 inches. Much cloudy 

 weather, of course, was a natural ac- 

 companiment of the frequent precipi- 

 tation and only fifty per cent of sun- 

 shine was noted, the lowest for July 



within the history of the local weather 

 office. 



Varions Notes. 



An indication of the condition of 

 other markets is to be seen in the fact 

 that W. H. GuUett & Sons, [Lincoln, 

 111., who have consigned their cut to 

 St. Louis, now are sending part of it 

 to Chicago, and that Holton & Hunkel 

 Co., which has its own wholesale store 

 in Milwaukee, is consigning a part of 

 its cut to the John Kruchten Co., in 

 this city. 



N. J. Wietor ran his Haynes car 

 18,000 miles in a year; then he bought 

 a Locomobile and has driven it 22,000 

 miles in two seasons. With 40,000 

 miles behind him, Mr. Wietor says he 

 is becoming satiated and his friends
