ONCINNATL 



The Market 



We have been obliged to live through 

 another week of bad buainess, and bad 

 is a mild word to use in expressing it. 

 The demand for stock of all kinds went 

 down to about nothing. The wholesale 

 men did their best to move the stock at 

 some price and offered it at gift prices, 

 with no takers. The buyers that did vis- 

 it the wholesale district said there was no 

 business, and they just picked up a little 

 here and there to take care of what few 

 orders they had. Thousands of flowers 

 were sacrificed at starvation prices. 



The only busy people were the plants- 

 men. The warm weather following the 

 late cold spell has stimulated the demand 

 for bedding stock and all of the grow- 

 ers report a heavy demand. Especially 

 was this true in the flower market, where 

 several of the growers report selling out 

 clean for the first time this season. 



Eoses, carnations, in fact, all the flow- 

 ers which are in season, were coming in 

 much more heavily than the demand re- 

 quired and, from prospects, this week 

 will be a repetition of last. We have 

 to fall back upon Decoration day to bal- 

 ance things up. We ought to have a 

 good supply of stock then and also a 

 good demand, which ought to mean good 

 business. Let us hope! 



New ferns from the south are with 

 us, but they are soft and the buyers pre- 

 fer to pay the difference and get the 

 cold storage stock, of which there is quite 

 a lot still on the hands of the dealers, 

 but it will doubtless all be used up by 

 Decoration day. 



Various Notes. 



A sad occurrence was the running over 

 and killing of a little girl by Julius 

 Baer's automobile delivery wagon. The 

 wagon was operated by Harry Baer and 

 he was driving along Brehman street 

 when the child ran right into the ma- 

 chine. It was one of those accidents 

 which could in no way be prevented and 

 Harry Baer has been in every way ex- 

 onerated in the matter. 



H. L. Lauscher, formerly employed 

 here by W. K. Partridge, is visiting in 

 this city, accompanied by his wife. They 

 are on their way to Winona Lake, Ind., 

 where they will spend the summer. 



John Walt and wife have both been 

 sick with severe colds. Both are able to 

 be about again. C. J. Ohmer. 



New Castle, Ind. — The Coatsworth 

 property here has been sold to satisfy 

 a mortgage against Lewis and Helen 

 Coatsworth, held by the Citizens' State 

 Bank. It was bid in by Weiland & 

 Olinger for $10,262.35.
