CHICAGO. 



The Great Central Market. 



After ten days of depression the mar- 

 ket began to take on life November 21 

 and by November 2.3 things had assumed 

 their accustomed activity. Saturday night 

 found the market well' cleaned up and, 

 in fact, late orders, received in rather 

 greater number tnan usual Saturday aft- 

 ernoon, were cut in many instances.* This 

 was particularly true of Beauties and 

 carnations. The prices on roses had not 

 advanced, but it liad become possible to 

 move the receipts, which had been accu- 

 Miulating all tin; week. Violets, too, felt 

 the .seasonable demand and the market 

 was not only cleaned out, but prices ad- 

 vanced. The wholesalers all wore a cheer- 

 ful air liome with them Saturdav night 

 and returned to duty this week with en 

 fhusiasin. 



The Thanksgiving Market. 



Miinday i)i»ened with a rush in all the 

 houses which cater to the sliipping de- 

 mand. It a|)pears that chrvsanthemums 

 are approa.-hing an en.l with" all the coun- 

 try grow.Ms who look to Chicago for sup- 

 jdies when their owu houses are eni]>ty. 

 and this brought renewed (leniand. too' 

 tor roN.-s and carnations. Mondav regu-

larly is a busy shipping day in this mar- 

 ket, but November 25 was better than 

 usual. Prices on Beauties even exceeded 

 quoted rates and special fancy carna- 

 tions in a few cases went to 6 cents, for 

 it was not possible to fill all orders. In 

 fact, the big orders were savagely cut 

 and buyers who had wired for thousand 

 lots were forced to be content with 300 

 to 500. 



Tuesday brought the bulk of the 

 Thanksgiving shipping orders. Writing 

 before the completion of the day's work, 

 it is impossible to form a very accurate 

 idea of the volume of business, except 

 that it was large and orders for Beauties 

 and carnations were not all filled. The 

 receipts of carnations were heavy, but the 

 <lemand also was great and }»rices in 

 some instances above quoted rates. The 

 receipts of roses were not as great as a 

 week ago, when the big cut of Bride and 

 Maid was at its height. C'hrysanthennims 

 are i)retty well cut out with many grow- 

 ers, but there are on the market thou- 

 sands of medium to poor quality, the fag 

 end of the cro]). Fancv stock was not 

 overabundant. The bulk of the violets 

 Hell locally and it cannot now be told 

 how they fared, there not having been 

 many advance orders and receipts being 

 heavy. The market is well supplied with 



lilies, valley, stevia, Romans, Paper 

 Whites and other seasonable items. 



Green goods are in large supply and 

 equal to all requirements. 



Variotjs Notes. 



There has been much complaint from 

 the Khinebeck shippers as to the prices 

 realized for violets in the week of No- 

 vember 10 to 16, and no greatly better 

 checks were sent for the week following, 

 but it is hoped this week will make a 

 nuich better showing. While prices have 

 not been as high as last year at this sea- 

 son, it is felt by the wholesalers that the 

 returns from this market at least com- 

 pare favorably with what is had from 

 New York. 



.1. ('. Bruchner. on Sixty-ninth street, 

 jiut in a stock of goldfish bought of the 

 E. F. Winterson Co. and says he is more 

 tlian pleased with the business it has 

 brought him. He and ^frs. Bruchner run 

 the store without hired help and their 

 expenses are light, so that Mr. Bruchner 

 says the profits on sjiles of goldfish paid 

 the running expenses last week. 



Thomas McAllister has left the posi- 

 ti«m of gardener for Mrs. Ely. at When- 

 ton, held during the sumnu'r. and is look- 

 ing for a i)lace to start growing outdoor 

 cut flowers for the market.
