CHICAGO. 



Tile Market 



The receipts of asters have very ma-' 

 terially increased in the last few days, 

 with a more or less depressing effect on 

 the market. There are not so many 

 really good asters and these bring fair 

 prices, but the ordinary stuff has been 

 sold as low as 5 cents a bunch and it 

 has naturally hurt the sale of all other 

 stock, except the best grades, which con- 

 tinue to be actively sought for. There 

 are very few carnations which will serve 

 ordinary purposes and those which are 

 at all good are still selling well. Outdoor 

 stuff is not wanted. Gladioli are very 

 abundant and dahlias are coming. 



Beauty prices continue considerably 

 above the average summer level. Quali- 

 ties are good. The rose market shows 

 little change, but probably no advance 

 can be looked for until the quality of 

 the new crop has had a chance to im- 

 prove. Lilies are quite plentiful, includ- 

 ing Harrisii, auratum, rubrum and album 

 and a few speciosum lilies are seen, but 

 are hard to sell. Green goods continue 

 to be received in quantity beyond the 

 possibility of selling out clean. 



The market is probably now at its low- 

 est ebb for the summer. City trade is 

 very light. Demand from New Orleans 

 has been curtailed by the embargo placed 

 on business by the yellow fever scare. 



'Wholesale Funeral Work. 



For nearly a year E. C. Amling has 

 had a note in the price list which he 

 mails to his trade, informing out-of- 

 town florists that he will make up any 

 kind of cut flower work and deliver in 



Chicago or ship as directed. The re- 

 sult has been that he has added a profit- 

 able department to his business, A 

 great many of his customers send him 

 orders for delivery in Chicago and many 

 more, instead of sending for materials 

 for a funeral piece, order the piece 

 shipped completed. 



Various Notes. 



G. L. Grant reached Chicago July 27, 

 on his way to the S. A. F. convention, 

 but was met by word that his son, Wal- 

 ter, was among those killed by the ex- 

 plosion on the Bennington, which had oc- 

 curred after Mr. Grant left home. He 

 started on the return journey at once. 

 Walter Grant joined the Bennington only 

 the day before the accident. 



The Catholic Order of Foresters and 

 twenty-four persons and corporations are 

 named as defendants in a bill filed in 

 the United States District Court by 

 Trustee Edwin C. Day, who is in charge 

 of the estate of Michael Winandy. Sev- 

 eral thousands of dollars' worth of real 

 estate and debts amounting to $23,340 

 are involved in the suit and it is asked 

 that the transfer of the property to the 

 Catholic organization and to other credi- 

 tors of the bankrupt be declared void, 

 as well as the issuance of an injunction 

 restraining all of the defendants from 

 further interference with the property. 



E. B. Washburn, son of C. L, Wash- 

 burn, won the members' cup and gold 

 medal in the Hinsdale golf tournament. 

 He also captured the month's handicap 

 trophy. Young Mr. Washburn is to go 

 into the business of Bassett & Washburn 

 after a course at the Agricultural Col- 

 lege at Madison.
