The Market. 



While July was a satisfactory month 

 up to last week, it is to be hoped the 

 finish was not a sample of the kind of 

 trade we can expect the remainder of 

 the summer, for apparently business 

 died last week and was buried. 



Stock of all kinds was plentiful, and 

 some kinds were more than plentiful, 

 especially gladioli and asters. The 

 market has been badly overstocked 

 with both, and the best the wholesalers 

 can do is to sell a few of the best and 

 get rid of the others by way of the 

 back door. 



Boses are plentiful and some of the 

 stock is quite good. Carnations are 

 holding on, but must go now that we 

 have asters. Beauties, lilies and valley' 

 make up the rest of the supply. Sweet 

 peas will not stand shipping on account 

 of too much wet weather, as we are 

 still averaging almost one rain every 

 twenty-four hours.
