The Market 



Business in the cut flower market 

 showed marked improvement last week. 

 There was no great rush, but consid- 

 erable work was turned out for open- 

 ings and for funerals. Some of the 

 leading retailers say that quite a few 

 good orders have been placed ahead and 

 that the outlook for this month is en- 

 couraging. 



The wholesalers say stock has short- 

 ened up and that prices will go up this 

 week. There are still plenty of good 

 roses to be had, especially in white and 

 pink. Beauties are coming in finely and 

 have the call over other roses. Carna- 

 tions are scarce. Enchantress and Bos- 

 ton Market are among the best. Prices 

 on these have stiffened up to 3 and 4 

 cents for the best. Chrysanthemums are 

 slow in coming in, but more are looked 

 for this week. Cosmos is selling at $1 

 per hundred. Good valley can be had 

 at any time. Smilax is having a good 

 call, and so are other greens. 



Various Notes. 



Budolph Klag, late manager for John 

 Eggleston, Lexington, Mo., was a visitor. 



Charles A. Kuehn visited the Dlinois 

 State Fair at Springfield last week. 



The Michel Plant & Bulb Co. states 

 that it will hold an auction sale of 

 plants the second week of each month, 

 the last sale being successful. 



The decorations by C. Young & Sons 

 Co. at the Merchants' Exchange for the 

 Veiled Phophets ' ball excelled everything 

 ever attempted for this occasion. Will- 

 iam H. Taft, republican candidate for 

 president, was present. 



The Eiessen Floral Co, did a rushing 

 business Sunday, October 4, German day. 

 They had a great many orders ahead for
