The Market 



Business last week was just about as 

 poor as you can imagine it. There was 

 scarcely anything doing and the stock 

 piled up day after day until the whole- 

 sale houses were well crowded. On Sat- 

 urday some demand began to be felt 

 and what stock was fit was closed out at 

 a low price; the balance found its way 

 into the dump, and in that manner the 

 wholesale houses were cleaned out. 



Sunday's cut sold out in good order 

 and Monday also saw some fairly good 

 business, with the market well cleared 

 out, especially in carnations. It begins 

 to look as if a turn for the better had 

 arrived, but we have had our hopes bol- 

 stered up 80 many times recently by like 

 indications, only to have them shattered, 

 that we are in no hurry to make cheer- 

 ful predictions. Still, when one takes 

 into consideration the bad growing weath- 

 er we have been having recently, it 

 would look as if we were right in think- 

 ing that there is going to be a short- 

 age for a week or so at least, and dur- 

 ing that time we will be able to get 

 prices back to somewhere near what 

 they ought to be. The next few days 

 will tell the story, and with a continua- 

 tion of the dark, cloudy and chilly weath- 

 er, we can look for a continued short- 

 age all along the line. 



Various Notes. 



April 28 we had quite a snow storm 

 and the temperature went to about 28 

 degrees. Little damage is reported, how- 

 ever. Perhaps cherries and early straw- 

 berries will be pretty well used up, 

 but it is doubtful if anything else is 

 hurt. 



Ben George is receiving congratula- 

 tions. It is a IQi^-pound girl, and it 

 arrived May 2. This young lady will 

 make the eighth addition to Mr. George 's 

 family, there being three girls and five 

 boys. 



E. 6. Gillett is handling some fine 

 outdoor valley and it is coming in by 

 the thousand. It sells fairly well, but at 

 a low price. 



Wm. Murphy is handling a large num- 

 ber of blooming and vegetable plants 

 at his Main street store. He has them 

 in many varieties and reports a good 

 demand. 



Ernst Mack, of Price Hill, is busy 

 superintending the erection of a new 

 home. It will be completed soon. He 

 then intends to tear down his old home. 



Myer Heller was a visitor, and B. F. 

 Hensley, accompanied by his wife, spent 

 several days visiting friends here.
