WASHINGTON. 



The condition of the market remains 

 about the same as was reported last 

 week, with the exception of a little stir 

 Wednesday and Thursday, which was 

 confined principally to funeral work. ■ 



Planting has begun in the public parks 

 and the beds are beginning to assume 

 their spring-like appearance. All the 

 growers of bedding plants are doing a 

 splendid business. Many things are al- 

 ready sold out. Geraniums are now in 

 great demand, as also are heliotropes and 

 verbenas.

 Club will be held the first Wednesday in 

 June and it is earnestly requested that 

 all members make a special effort to be 

 present, promptly at eight o'clock.

 last Wednesday night for practice and 

 seme fine scores were made. A good 

 game was rolled between Shaffer and 

 Clark. Shaffer making 222 and Clark 212.

 and this will about take the Bathskeller 's 

 weekly prize of fifty cigars.
