Society of America and judge at the 

 Chicago shows on several occasions, pass- 

 ed through the city January 8 en route to 

 Denver. Henry and Paul Dailledouze, 

 of Flatbush, N. Y., have been here this 

 week. Other visitors were Wm. Hage- 

 niann and C. B. Knickman, New York; 

 Edw. Amerpohl, Janesville, Wis.; Geo. S. 

 Crabb, Grand Rapids; I. L. Pillsbury 

 and son, Galesburg, 111.; P. J. Walker, 

 Danville, 111. 



H. N. Bruns reports that he has just 

 received his third carload of valley pips, 

 making his importation for this season 

 about 900 cases, and close to two million 

 P'ps. This stock was, as usual, all pick- 

 ffl out by Mr. Bruns' brother, who is 

 located in the valley-growing district 

 of Germany. While Mr. Bruns will sell 

 a part of these pips, he intends to force 

 most of them for the Chicago market. 



Mrs Herman Keller, of Granton, Wis., 

 is visiting her sister, Mrs. Henry Born- 

 ^op.U, on West Monroe street. 



B. Eschner, of M. Rice & Co., Philadel- 

 phia, announces he will be in Chicago 

 January 17 to 21.

NEW YORK. 



The Market. 



Winter has been side-tracked again 

 and the wholesale cut flower market has 

 followed in its train. Ever since January 

 6 the tendency has been to lower prices. 

 Quotations of a week ago look high to 

 the man who scans the average of Jan- 

 uary 11. Sunday we had rain, thunder 

 and hail. Monday was sunshine, warmth, 

 and all the earmarks of spring. If April 

 19 can furnish as lovely a day, look out 

 for a banner Easter. But in the mean- 

 time we must face present conditions as 

 cheerfully as possible. If the money 

 mart, as they call Wall street, is an in- 

 dicator, then good times are ahead, pub- 

 lic confidence is restored and all is well. 

 The depression, therefore, will be but 

 temporary. 



Supplies are light, or prices would 

 have had no bottom. Beauties are down 

 to 35 cents for the finest, and 25 cents 

 would be a fairer average. The Beauty 

 quotations indicate the pulse of the en- 



tire market, and so it is not difficult to 

 arrive at a just estimate of the whole. 

 Bride, Maid, Chatenay, KillaYney, and 

 even Richmond seldom rise above 10 

 cents. Carnations, which should lift 

 their heads on the eve of the great car- 

 nation convention at Washington, if 

 ever, have been split in two in price 

 since Christmas, and even worse, for the 

 novelties sold as low as 3 cents and 4 

 cents last week, and the older varieties 

 fell down to 1 cent and 2 cents. 



Orchids and gardenias stay about on 

 an even keel, weddings, society dinners, 

 grand operas, and the coming-out par- 

 ties taking about all that come to town, 

 at regular winter prices. 



Green goods of all kinds are abundant 

 and go off slowly. Lilies have fallen 

 about thirty per cent and valley has been 

 selling below its value, even the best of 

 it. Some fine long stock has been coming 

 from Canada. Tulips, hyacinths and 

 Paper Whites are doing nothing to make 

 a profit for the growers. Callas are 

 cheap, $1 a dozen securing the best of 

 them. There was not a violet in the mar-
