The Market. 



Last week was very quiet for the trade 

 as compared with the earlier part of the 

 season. The usual spring epidemic of 

 price cutting has struck the town and 

 has demoralized the market. 



It would be a hard matter to say what 

 the retail market price is on any line of 

 flowers, as they are being sold at all 

 kinds of prices. The department stores 

 on last Saturday sold carnations as low, 

 in some cases, as 1 cent each and violets 

 for 7 cents a bunch. Eoses are selling 

 from $3 to $6 at wholesale. Bulbous 

 stock is holding its own and there is no 

 trouble in disposing of it. In fact, all 

 kinds of bulb stock has sold better this 

 season than for several years. The 

 prospect for a plentiful supply of stock 

 for Easter is very good. 



Various Notes. 



Among the growers who intend to 

 build this summer is Ed A. Humfeld. 

 He will erect a house 25x90 to be used 

 principally as a forcing house for lilies 

 and bulbous stock. Mr. Humfeld 's busi- 

 ness has increased to such an extent that 

 he finds his present area of glass en- 

 tirely too small. 



The Western Cut Flower Commission 

 Co. has gone out of business, after a 

 very brief existence. 



W. A. Bastian has opened a commis- 

 sion house of his own at Thirteenth 

 street and Baltimore avenue. He will 

 be the sole owner, and as he has been 

 assured the support of practically all 

 the leading dealers of the city, we see 

 no reason why he should not succeed. 



Miss M. Dalley reports business as 

 being very good with her, considering 

 the season. Kay-See. 



Bellevue, O. — I. Husbands has had 

 experience with primula poisoning and 

 recommends the following as an effec- 

 tive remedy: Bathe the hands for two 

 dressings, one each evening, in a strong 

 solution of saleratus. 



Cleveland, O.— William H. Gaffney, 

 at 2505 Superior street, and Ernest 

 Call, chauffeur for William H. Board- 

 man, of 950 Euclid avenue, indulged in 

 fisticuffs near the Superior arcade. The 

 two men were taken to Central police 

 station. Gaffney charged Call with at- 

 tempting to run him down with an elec- 

 tric brougham, and a battle of words 

 quickly became a physical encounter. No 

 damage was done.
