The Market. 



It is too early at this writing to sum 

 up exactly the results of the Christmas 

 trade here, but it is quite certain that 

 the weather, for unruliness and untoward 

 conditions previous to and during the 

 week of December 21, was the worst 

 brand dispensed by the weather bureau. 

 For nearly three weeks it has been 

 cloudy, with heavy fogs and only a 

 glimpse of sunshine for an hour or two. 



On Tuesday, December 22, we were vis- 

 ited with a heavy snow storm with se- 

 verely cold weather, which paralyzed 

 traffic. The snow measured twelve inches 

 in depth. This crippled the market, as 

 the snow was piled four feet high around 

 the market stands, and put a damper on 

 cemetery trade. Slippery pavements and 

 cold blasts of wind combined to the dis- 

 comfort of those whom business, pleasure 

 or duty compelled to go on the street. 

 Notwithstanding, there seems to have 

 been a fairly good business done. 



Naturally flowers were scarce. This is 

 expected for some days before the holi- 

 days, many growers holding on till the 

 last moments in the expectation of bet- 

 ter prices. Tuesday the market was 

 practically bare of carnations. Roses, 

 which are not so easily held back, were 

 scarce by reason of unfavorable weather. 



The Baltimore Florists' Exchange did 

 a business considerably in excess in vol- 

 ume of any preceding Christmas season. 

 Manager J. J. Perry had an extra force 

 of efficient helpers and the transactions 

 of the day were smoothly and expeditious- 

 ly forwarded, including considerable 

 shipments to out-of-town customers. By 

 the closing hour nearly everything was 

 cleaned up. Pot plants were in heavy de- 

 mand, especially ferns, poinsettias and 

 cyclamens, of which there were heavy 

 shipments. 



A curious feature of the occasion was 

 the revived trade in violets. For several 

 years the demand for these has been light 

 at this season, whether due to their 

 scarcity or the high prices at which they 

 were held. But this year, as by one con- 

 sent, everybody wanted Christmas violets 

 and good ones were hard to find. 



There was an oversupply of holly and 

 mistletoe. The finest holly could have 

 been bought at $1 per crate and mistle- 

 toe at $1 per barrel, and hundreds of 

 crates and barrels were never removed 

 from the wholesale houses. Q.
