CHICAGO. 



The Great Cenfa'al Market. 



There were three days of good busi- 

 ness at the end of last week. The All 

 Saints' day demand for chrysanthemums 

 for shipment to the far south cleaned up 

 a large quantity of stock and, as had 

 been expected, sent white chrysan- 

 themums to a premium, compared to 

 yellow, reversing the condition which 

 had maintained earlier in the week. The 

 market was in a normal state October 30 

 and 31, better prices being realized be 

 cause of decreased supply and increased 

 demand. But it has been noticeable for 

 weeks that the shipping trade is better, 

 comparatively speaking, than local trade. 

 In spite of the fact that the week closed 

 with fair business, it was not up to a 

 year ago, when October closed with 

 things on the boom. 



The current week opened with de- 

 creased supplies of chrysanthemums, 

 hardly so many carnations as the week 

 before, with a shortage of Beauties, but 



with increased supplies of other roses. 

 Trade was light the first of the week, be- 

 cause of election. It appears that we are 

 just between crops of mums. The mid- 

 season stock crowded in early, and the 

 late varieties are not coming on as rap- 

 idly as was expected. The result has 

 been a few days of comparatively light 

 receipts and a noticeable shortage of 

 really good stock. There is an abund- 

 ance of small, soft, weak stuft that 

 nobody wants, but really fine flowers are 

 hard to find and have been selling well. 

 There is so much of the smaller stock 

 that it pulls down the price of the 

 medium grades and there is an unusually 

 wide difference between the top and the 

 bottom. This same difference is appar- 

 ent in other lines. There is more dis- 

 crepancy than usual between the price 

 of the top grade and the prices which are 

 necessary to clean up the left-overs of 

 both roses and carnations. Killarney 

 continues most in demand among roses, 

 but there has been an improvement in 

 the quality of Maid and it is selling bet- 

 ter. Richmond is abundant, but red 



seems not in demand at present. White 

 roses are not in large supply. 



While the supply of carnations has 

 not increased to any great extent, the 

 quality has improved and better business 

 may now be anticipated on that account. 



Violets are selling well, but at low 

 prices. The supply has increased and 

 the quality now is all that could be ex- 

 pected at this date. Prices are so low 

 that retailers are using violets in quan- 

 tity. Valley also is abundant and there 

 are increased supplies of Easter lilies. 



There is a good market for wild 

 smilax, but other greens are not in spe- 

 cial demand. It is noticeable that when 

 cut flowers are scarce and high, galax, 

 boxwood and other greens sell well, but 

 when cut flowers are plentiful and cheap 

 funeral work is made of them and the 

 sale for greens is slow.
