MXLWAUKEi:. 



/ The Market. 



Business in general remains quiet. 

 There is not much of anything doing 

 and funeral work was again the main- 

 stay of the business last week. The 

 weather has been warm and the rain 

 has not been as frequent as heretofore. 

 It does not seem probable that there 

 will be any material increase until after 

 the first killing frost, when it is to be 

 expected there will be a sharp influx 

 of life into the market. 



Soses are sufficiently plentiful to 

 handle all orders, but there is no sur- 

 plus that has to be moved at cheap 

 prices. The stock is in fine condition 

 and is well worth what it is bringing. 

 The demand remains strong and this 

 stock is moving readily. Carnations 

 are coming in more heavily every day. 

 The stock is in fine shape and is clean- 

 ing up easily. Colored stock is more 

 easily obtainable than white, which is 

 still quite scarce. Prices are fair and 

 there is nothing held over from day to 

 day. There is still a good quantity of 

 asters in the market, but since carna- 

 tions are to be had they are not selling 

 well. The quality has deteriorated to 

 a great extent and this fact also helps 

 to keep this stock from moving readily. 

 Gladioli have not been much of a 

 money-maker this year, as the stock 

 was disposed of for next to nothing 

 most of the time. They are still with 

 us, but the quality is steadily becoming 

 poorer and the quantity is much smaller 

 than it has been. Valley has been 

 somewhat scarce and last week the en- 

 tire crop was sold in a hurry each day. 

 The quality is fine and the trade is 

 taking everything in sight. Lilies and 

 nibrums are in good supply, but are 

 moving slowly. 



Various Notes. 



William Currie, of Currie .Bros. Co., 

 384 East Water street, has been ill for 

 several days with ptomaine poisoning. 

 Both Mr. and Mrs. Currie were ill for 

 a time and are still weak, although Mr. 

 Currie is again at the store. 



Saturday, September 18, was cele- 

 brated in fine style by the flower buy- 

 ing public of Jewish extraction, as it 

 was the Jewish New Year. Florists 

 catering to this trade were exception- 

 ally busy, and N. W. Perstein reported 

 good business for that occasion. A 

 large variety of stock was disposed of 

 at this firm 's new store, opened less 

 than a year ago. They report that they 

 have been kept quite busy during the 

 last few days by the opening displays 

 of millinery shops in their locality. 

 This firm 's delivery car, a new acquisi- 

 tion, seems to be somewhat unruly and 

 is not as yet thoroughly domesticated. 

 Recently it demolished a fence and 

 then used its best efforts on a telegraph 

 pole, with results that were not entirely 

 to its advantage. It is able to be about, 

 however, as cars of its make seem to 

 have tremendous vitality. 



Among the visitors last week were R. 

 O. Haentze, of Fond du Lac, Wis., and 

 Edwin J. Fancourt, of S. S. Pennock- 

 Meehan Co., Philadelphia. H. J. S. 



Kansas City, Mo. — This city has a 

 new retail flower shop, in the new 

 Hotel Muehlbach. The proprietor is 

 Patrick Larkin, who says that the first 

 month 's receipts proved to be more 

 than just encouraging.
