CINONNATL 



The Market 



After figuring up the general business 

 for October, we are pleased to find that 

 it was greater than last year; while not 

 80 very much, still enough to show that 

 the business at large is on the increase, 

 and will be even better for the remaining 

 months of the year. Everything points 

 to a prosperous season 's business. 1 low- 

 ers are not coming so much in crops as 

 is usually the case. Since mums have 

 come in, this fact is especially plain, as 

 ' thev have been coming in a steady cut, 

 which gives every evidence of continuing 

 through the season. This being the case, 

 the average price of mums this year will 

 be good. 



Business last week was nothing start- 

 ling, but averaged up first-class, and 

 everyone reports a steady demand. The 

 wholesale houses were, as a rule, sold out 

 by noon every day. There was not a 

 heavv supply, though, and had there been, 

 things might have been different. Roses 

 are in good crop, especially white and 

 pink. Eed is in only moderate supply, 

 with the exception of short Liberty. Car- 

 nations are coming in more heavily and 

 some fine stock is seen. The best sell 

 along as high as $4 per hundred. Violets 

 are a little more plentiful and sell at 

 sight. The best single and double bring 

 $1 per hundred. Mums are about equal 

 to the demand and are bringing gooa 

 prices. Some extra good varieties go at 

 $3 per dozen and are sold out clean. 

 Small white are much in- demand, and 

 bring good prices for this grade. A good 

 many Ivory are coming in and this va- 

 riety is the best seller. When it gets 

 down to dollars and cents it is still evi- 

 dent that the medium varieties are the 

 ones that bring the money. 



Qub Meetine. 



On Saturday, November 10, at 8 p, m., 

 the next regular meeting of the Florists' 

 Society will be held. There are many 

 things* of interest to be brought up, and 

 a well attended meeting is looked for- 

 ward to. Several applications for mem- 

 bership will be acted upon. 



Al. Heckman has opened up a retail 

 store on Central avenue near Laurel 

 street. He has, until last week, been with
