CINCINNATI. 



The Market 



We had every reason to predict that 

 the Thanksgiving business this year would 

 be the best we had ever known, but a 

 couple of days of almost summer weather 

 changed all this. Thousands of roses 

 were on hand that had seen better days, 

 and carnations were not much better. 

 The salvation of the business was the fact 

 that there were plenty of fresh mums. 

 These sold out clean at prices which were 

 satisfactory. But there were plenty of 

 salted mums that had to be sold at job 

 lot prices if sold at all. The market 

 was stocked with thousands of fine lilies, 

 but there was no demand for them. 



As can be seen from the above, great 

 quantities of stock had been salted in 

 anticipation of a large demand. We 

 looked for good business and were not 

 disappointed. But there are two sides to 

 the story. There is the growers' side. 

 Business was certainly bad for the grow- 

 ers. The retailers, on the other hand, 

 were able to pick up enough really good 

 stock to take care of their trade, and 

 the general report from them is that 

 business was fine. The wholesaler, being 

 between the two, has both sidfes of the 

 story impressed upon him. 



Business since Thanksgiving has been 

 quiet. Mums are selling out clean and 

 at good prices. Violets also are in good 

 demand. Eoses sell slowly. Carnations 

 do a little better. With colder weather 

 in view, we can expect satisfactory busi- 

 ness from now till the holidays. 



Various Notes. 



J. Chas. McCullough has moved his 

 oflBices and cleaning department from Sec- 

 ond and Walnut streets to Fifth and Lock 

 streets and Eggleston avenue, where he 

 occupies an immense seven-story building 

 which has been remodeled for his use. 

 The building is located on the railroad 

 and this makes the shipping facilities of 

 the best. 



Miss Tillie Garges has been on the sick 

 list, but is much improved and will soon 

 be about the same as ever. 



C. J. Ohmxb. 



FiNWiAT, O. — J. J. Waaland has com- 

 pleted the new boiler house at his green- 

 houses on East Front street and has in- 

 stalled a new forty horse-power boiler.
