CHICAGO. 



The Great Central Market. 



It is the general report that the de- 

 mand slackened to a considerable extent 

 last week but that various conditions 

 combined to make a decidedly active 

 market beginning October 28. As usual, 

 the growers cut lightly Sunday, so that 

 Monday 's receipts were lighter than in 

 the preceding days. A change to cold, 

 cloudy weather also had its effect on the 

 cuts of the following days. Local de- 

 mand being fair, shipping up to its usual 

 standard, and the All Saints' day de- 

 mand from the south heavier than ever, 

 served to create a strong pressure upon 

 the available supply. Monday is regu- 

 larly crowding Fnday for first place as 

 the heaviest shipping day in this mar- 

 ket. This week Monday's demand was 

 strengthened by a number of orders for 

 chrysanthemums for New Orleans. Tues- 

 day the bulk of the All Saints' day ship- 



ments went out and the market was 

 cleaned. Wednesday there were further 

 heavy shipments for the south for All 

 Souls' day and it made three days of 

 especially heavy shipping. 



The pressure of chrysanthemums is 

 not quite so strong as a week ago. Prob- 

 ably the reason is that the growers have 

 learned to refrain from crowding a weak 

 market and are not cutting all that they 

 might if the demand were stronger. All 

 the good mid-season sorts are now to be 

 had in quantity and the late varieties 

 are coming on. The rose growers con- 

 gratulate themselves that the chrysanthe- 

 mums will be out of the way earlier this 

 year than usual. Prices were decidedly 

 weak last week, but have been quite 

 satisfactory for the first three days of 

 the present period. 



There are no special supplies of Beau- 

 ties, but enough to satisfy the demand. 

 Bichmond is in fine form with nearly all 

 growers, stems up to three feet long 



being cut. Bride and Maid also have 

 improved materially. The other varie- 

 ties are in less active demand but clean- 

 ing out well. 



The prices on carnations weakened 

 last week, but Monday inaugurated an- 

 other period of stiffening rates. The 

 supply does not increase rapidly, but 

 the quality is excellent. Violets are sell- 

 ing better than at any time this season, 

 but the supply is so large that prices are 

 held down. Quality is fine. Those grow- 

 ers who are cutting Easter lilies find 

 them cleaning out well. Valley is abun- 

 dant but in good demand. 



There are all sorts of green goods, 

 except bronze galas, which brings $2 per 

 thousand. 



Retailen' Premitmu. 



Since publishing the final premium list 

 the executive committee of the Horticul- 

 tural Society has decided to offer $750 in 

 cash and one silver medal for the best 

 booth by a retail florist, to be main-
