many contingencies to which the onions 

 already in the ground may be sub- 

 jected. 



It would not be surprising if Teneriffe 

 exporters could not deliver the quanti- 

 ties required by American buyers, and 

 those who have not already contracted 

 for certain quantities at stated prices 

 may find that they will have to pay 

 higher prices for any stock not engaged. 



Outside growers are fast disappearing 

 and the trade is carried now on better 

 grounds, so that American buyers will 

 not have any more complaints. In fact, 

 this business is taking a different* aspect, 

 more satisfactory to the principal Ten- 

 eriffe exporters and to everybody con- 

 cerned in the United States. The stocks 

 are also being improved more and more 

 every year. 



The weather is much against us. Not 

 one drop of rain has fallen yet (Novem- 

 ber 11), and if the rainy season sets in 

 all of a sudden after the warm weather 

 we are experiencing, the lands would be 

 too much soaked and the onions would 

 suffer accordingly.

The Market. 



Business last week was better than for 

 some time. Stock of all kinds is shorten- 

 ing up, which is quite a reUef after what 

 we have been having. Carnations have 

 taken a jump in price. Boses are scarce 

 at present. Violets have been unusually 

 good sellers so far this season.

 on a remedy for red spider for some

 the nature of the remedy is he will not 

 disclose at present. A visit by the writer 

 and others to his place found the stock 

 in excellent condition. No spraying of 

 any kind whatever had been done since 

 planting in the houses, and the plants 

 were comparatively free from spider.

 matter up for discussion and further in-
