The scores made Iriday evening, May 

 8, do not indicate a large outlay for 

 club transportation purposes by the gen- 

 erous president of the S. A. F. An aver- 

 age of 155 looks like a safe bet on his 

 part and maintains his reputation for 

 careful winner picking. Several of the 

 big average men have already fallen by 

 the wayside with cold feet. The first 

 two games count in the contest:

The Market 



Though last week was one of the most 

 disagreeable as to weather, it was yet 

 one to be thankful for. In the first 

 place, it caused a shortening in the 

 supply of stock; the bad weather kept 

 many people at home and the phone order 

 business of the stores was therefore 

 greatly increased. There was quite a 

 demand for funeral work, which used 

 up the cheaper grades of flowers. Then 

 the great May festival, the big society 

 event, which takes place in this city 

 every two years, brought out a demand 

 for a high grade of goods and used up 

 the better quality of stock. So, taken

Mention The Review when you write. 



all in all, we have had a pretty good 

 week, one in which all of us were able 

 to do a little business, if not make a 

 little money. It was a decided relief 

 to see the buyers really anxious to get 

 stock and, when the morning's rush was 

 over, to find that you had about sold 

 out. 



The business seems to be gaining a 

 better footing. The demand is picking 

 up. There is not an oversupply, but just 

 about enough stock to take good care 

 of all orders. Should this condition con- 

 tinue, as it gives every promise of do- 

 ing, perhaps we shall have a chance to 

 make up a little of what we have lost 

 in the last two months. I suppose, 

 though, that we should be satisfied if 

 the business is able to get back on a 

 paying basis, as it will then be doing 



more than many other kinds of business. 

 It does seem that there is a tendency 

 toward better things in all lines of 

 business. 



Carnations, for a change, are not equal 

 to the demand. Especially is this true 

 of white. Red ones are just about equal 

 to it. Some growers say that they will 

 stay this way till the end of the sea- 

 son; others, that a few days of bright 

 weather will bring out a heavy supply 

 again, so you can take your choice. 



Roses continue in good supply, but 

 the demand was heavy enough to keep the 

 price up on all stock that was at all 

 good. Should they continue as dur- 

 ing the last week, no one will have any 

 kick coming. 



In other stock, sweet peas are going 

 first-class. Outdoor valley is also selling
