prise of his life, for a possum took 

 the earliest chance of escape. It has

The Market 



The cut flower business has been 

 about all that was expected for the 

 past week; while some complain that 

 it was rather slow others were quite 

 busy, among them Randolph & Mc- 

 Clenients, who had a big week and 

 wound it up Saturday night with an 

 elaborate decoration for the Carnegie 

 Steel Co., at the Duquesne Club. 



Roses are still short and high-priced 

 but there was quite a drop in carna- 

 tions, which became very plentiful and 

 where one wanted them in thousand 

 lots they could be bought down. With 

 the snow and predicted zero weather 

 no doubt they will brace up this week. 

 Sprengeri continues scarce in this mar- 

 ket, but all other greens are in abun- 

 dance.
