The Great Central Market 



The market held remarkably firm last 

 week. After the busy horse show period 

 a slump seemed almost certain, but dark 

 weather tended toward light receipts 

 and demand continued active, with the 

 result that there was little change in 

 the market up to Saturday. Since then 

 demand has fallen off to a considerable 

 extent, especially for the lower grades 

 of stock, and the market is weaker. 

 The demand now is for the very best 

 material and top prices are holding 

 steady, but low grades are on the bar- 

 gain counter. 



The chrysanthemum has at last be- 

 come the predominant factor which it 

 usually is at this season. We have had 

 a remarkable period of strong demand 

 and excellent prices for chrysanthe- 

 mums, but this week supplies are con- 

 siderably ahead of demand. This is 

 particularly true of the poorer qual- 

 ities. There are thousands of flowers 

 which axe well sold at from $5 to $10 

 per hundred, and enough of all the 

 other grades. It is noticed that a great 



many of the flowers drop their petals 

 on very slight provocation. 



American Beauties are once more 

 equal to all demands. Quality in gen- 

 eral is very good, size of bud, color, 

 stem and foliage being all that the 

 most critical could ask. Bed roses con- 

 tinue more abundant than pink or white. 

 In previous years red roses have usu- 

 ally been worth more money than any 

 other color. It is not so this season. 

 Some very flne Brides and Maids are 

 seen, but crops are only at a beginning 

 with most growers, and the supply will 

 very largely increase with a few days 

 of sun. 



Last week up to Friday it was al- 

 most impossible to find white carna- 

 tions, so quickly were they taken up 

 upon arrival. This week there are 

 enough of all colors, and prices have 

 weakened except upon extra fancy 

 stock. 



Harrisii and callas are to be had 

 for all funeral requirements and valley 

 is abundant. On Sattirday there was 

 a flurry in violets, but the demand has 

 subsided, and the best goods are well 

 sold at $1 per hundred. A few Eoman 

 hyacinths and Paper White narcissi ap- 



peared on Monday. Daisies are abund- 

 ant. A few sweet peas are coming in, 

 but not enough to have a place in 

 price lists. 



There has been an active call for 

 green stock this week. The demand 

 has turned from smilax since prices 

 stiffened and asparagus strings are be- 

 ing used in quantity for decorations. 



The Winandy Matter. 



The trustees in the Winandy bank- 

 ruptcy matter have things now in pretty 

 fair shape. They find liabilities of 

 practically $86,000, $22,000 being se- 

 cured by mortgage. There are other 

 mortgages included in the remaining 

 $64,000, which action has been taken to 

 set aside on the ground that they were 

 given for the purpose of preferring cer- 

 tain creditors. In the few weeks of the 

 receivership a loss of $1,600 was made, 

 the receiver was allowed $1,000 in fees 

 and $1,000 for his attorneys, with the 

 result that the court now has a claim 

 for $3,600. Since the appointment of 

 the trustees, Messrs. Day, Beinberg and 

 Ekas, the plant has about met expenses, 

 but there seems not much in sight for 

 the unsecured creditors.
