The Market. 



Market conditions last week remained 

 unchanged. There was small move- 

 ment, and stock of every description 

 was plentiful. Several large funerals 

 kept a few of the florists busy. 



Flowers are being sold at ridiculous- 

 ly low prices. When asters and gladi- 

 oli sell at 25 cents per dozen, one be- 

 gins to wonder how growers can con- 

 tinue to build steel houses.
