The Market. 



Trade has been fairly good for the 

 last two weeks, with enough stock to go 

 around. There has been a good supply 

 of roses and carnations, with quality up 

 to the standard. Paper Whites, Komans 

 and callas are now added to the list of 

 cut stock. 



The stores are taking on their Christ- 

 mas garb of decorating material, etc. 

 Azaleas, poinsettias, cyclamens, prim- 

 roses and other Christmas plants are 

 looking fine and there will be a good sup- 

 ply in the market, which no doubt will 

 help out the store men in good shape. 



Several of the large dry goods and 

 clothing houses have put up elaborate 

 decorations, which used a big lot of holly 

 and festooning. There have been a num- 

 ber of weddings lately that have made 

 •quite a demand for decorative material. 

 Mums are getting decidedly scarce and 

 there will be only a few left for Christ- 

 mas.
