PACIFIC COAST. 



Snohomish, Wash. — Fred Gall, who 

 came here from Chicago five years ago, 

 now has about 5,000 feet of glass and is 

 carrying on a very prosperous business. 



PORTLAND, ORE. 



State of Trade. 



The city is feeling the effects of the 

 financial quiver which is visiting the 

 whole country, and, as three banking 

 institutions have already suspended, nat- 

 urally we are apprehensive of the out- 

 come. We experfenced a few extremely 

 quiet days early in the month, and every 

 means of economy was rigidly enforced, 

 lunches consisting of coffee and sinkers 

 being one principal dish and a nickel 

 cigar our only luxury. However, we are 

 not pessimistic, and trade has averaged 

 well. Social events are of minor impor- 

 tance and counter trade is suggestive 

 of the depression. It is the big funeral 

 orders that keep us occupied and relieve 

 the market of the surplus. The bright 

 days are still with us, and all kinds of 

 stock are a]>undanf and of the finest. 

 Xever have we seen more beautiful chrys- 

 anthemums than the blooms now offered 

 to the Portland public. Timothy Eaton 

 and Appleton are giants and have all 

 the qualifications for strong competi- 

 tion. Yet we have to admit that they 

 have suffered, like all other matured 

 stock, for present prices will not warrant 

 growing so many of them tinother year. 

 Even the great horse show last week did 

 not stimulate the sale of them, violets 

 being the general favorite for that oc- 

 casion. 



Carnations are maintaining good qual- 

 ity, and we notice some excellent blooms 

 of late addition to this staple flower. 



Boses are good, only a trifle off crop, 

 which is as it should be while the mum 

 is supreme. H. J. M. 



SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



Business, although not equal in vol- 

 ame to that done at this time one year 

 ago, is in comparison with that of other 

 trades, very fair. There is a surplus of out- 

 door mums, and violets are overplentiful, 

 bnt outside of these two articles every- 

 thing is well bought up. Eoses continue 

 to be scarce, especially fancy stock, 

 and there are not more than enough 

 carnations to supply the demand. 



Valley is in good supply and is be-

ing better cleaned up than it was a 

 couple of weeks ago. Indoor mums are 

 getting scarce and only a few of the 

 later varieties of white and yellow are 

 seen. Narcissi have made their appear- 

 ance in fair supply and Koman hya- 

 cinths are seen, but move slowly.. 



Sweet peas are showing the results 

 of the cooler nights and all kinds of 

 outside stock, with the exceptions I 

 have named, are becoming scarcer and 

 of poorer quality. 



Smilax has at last become cheap 

 enough to be used in any place where 

 green goods are required. Good, long- 

 stemmed maidenhair seems to be off 

 crop with a majority of the growers. 

 There is plenty of shorter stuff, but this 

 is not of a desirable quality. 



Business in Oakland continues to be 

 as good as can be expected, although 

 not up to the standard of one year ago. 

 The best trade at present seems to be 

 in the line of funeral orders.
