The Market. 



The florists were quite busy last 

 week, several early weddings, with a 

 number of -ante-nuptial functions, cre- 

 ating a brisk demand, which was well 

 met by the increased supply of early 

 chrysanthemums, whites and yellows 

 moving quickly. Carnations are a trifle 

 more plentiful and bring 2 and 3 cents. 

 Roses are quoted at 3 cents up; violets 

 are 50 cents per hundred and mums 

 range from 75 cents to $2 per dozen.
