ST. LOUIS. 



The Market. 



Summer conditions still prevail. Judg- 

 ing from reports of the large retailers, 

 business is very quiet in everything ex- 

 cept funeral work, of which there seems 

 to have been plenty last week, and one 

 can see from the buyers at the commis- 

 sion houses that all the lighter shades 

 in everything are bought up and the 

 colored stock is generally dumped. 



TTie roses that are coming in are poor, 

 especially Bride and Maid. Some good 

 Kaiserin and Carnot were seen last Mon- 

 day morning from Miss Bell Miller, of 

 Springfield, 111. Good long Beauties are 

 out of the question. Fairly good shorts 

 are coming, but not many. Carnations 

 are a poor lot. Few good flowers can 

 be found at any of our commission 

 houses. Of the outdoor stock, tuberoses, 

 asters, gladioli, hollyhocks and hydran- 

 geas are selling fairly well, but only the 

 light colors. The wholesalers promise us 

 better stock by the end of the month, 

 from the young plants. Everything in 

 greens is to be had. Good smilax is 

 quite plentiful and in good demand.
