The Market 



The market opened this week with 

 steady prices, about on a par with those 

 of Saturday, and with a general tone of 

 encouragement for all departments of 

 the cut flower trade. Growers begin to 

 wear their accustomed fall smiles, whole- 

 salers are clearing out daily at some

 a splendid Thanksgiving and Christmaa 

 trade.
