 any of the houses. The stack has been 

 rebuilt and all is well. 



Carl Beyer reports heavy plant decora- 

 tion orders. The Western Rowing Club 

 ball and the Concordia Turners' ball are 

 on for this week. Mr. Beyer is still on 

 the crippled list, having hurt his knee- 

 cap recently. 



According to the reports of pur four 

 wholesale houses, there were consigned to 

 them 300,000 California violets Thurs- 

 day, February 13, and nearly 200,000 

 the next day. Thursday they brought 75 

 cents per hundred and Friday 50 cents. 

 Many large advance orders were booked 

 lor St. Valentine's day.

 our city members would take as much 

 interest, the club would have large meet-

The Market. 



"What shall I say of the cut flower 

 market and the outlook?" was the gen- 

 eral query which I put to the men who 

 determine values, the wholesale mer- 

 chants of the street. And the consensus 

 of reply is, "There is no strength to 

 the market, and the outlook is anything 

 but cheerful. ' ' Low as were the quota- 

 tions of a week ago, the actual bottom 

 was beneath them. In fact, for some 



stock there was no bottom and a good 

 deal was unsalable at any price. The 

 only sustaining happenings were the hol- 

 idays, Lincoln's birthday, which was of 

 little avail, and the lift of St. Valen- 

 tine's, which was more effective than 

 usual in the popularity of gifts of flow- 

 ers. The Kruger funeral was the most 

 remarkable demonstration of public grief 

 and sympathy New York has seen in 

 years, and the many brilliant dinners 

 and weddings have kept the retailers 

 busy and saved the wholesale marts from 

 complete stagnation. 



The Shonts wedding, the most elabo-

 of Beauties and orchids and was a most 

 artistic affair, doing M. A. Bowe great
