NEVYORK. 



The Market 



The creditors of J. Stem & Co. have 

 been called to meet July 2, at 10 a. m., 

 at the oflBce of Alfred Driver, referee in 

 bankruptcy, 505 Chestnut street. 



Dover, N. H. — C. L. Howe's green- 

 houses, at Garrison Hill, are noticeable 

 as being among the busiest places in 

 town. Mr. Howe's shipping trade is 

 steadily increasing. 



The veterans declare this to be one of 

 the most trying Junes on record. Even 

 the outlet by the commencement route is 

 badly blocked. Over in Jersey City 

 flowers are entirely prohibited, and even 

 in New York and Brooklyn at many 

 schools the sweet girl graduates must 

 yield to the senseless edict of the au- 

 thorities and go without their flowers into 

 the cold world of intellectual competi- 

 tion. 



There is an abundance of everything. 

 Beauties touch 15 cents for a few se- 

 lected, but before night the same grades 

 will go for 8 cents. Last year it is in- 

 teresting to note that June 21 Beauties 

 were scarce at 25 cents. At the same 

 date Brides and Maids advanced to 5 

 cents and carnations were selling at 2 



cents. Now straight slips of roses go as 

 low as $15 per thousand and carnations 

 as low as $10, the best of them included. 

 Lilies were never so low since time be- 

 gan. A -big lot went to a Brooklyn 

 plunger of the department store brigade 

 at 1 cent each, several thousands of them 

 Saturday, June 19. This is the limit 

 and will make bulb exporters and im- 

 porters sit up and take notice. 



Last year supplies lessened at this 

 date. Now the flood is at its height, ow- 

 ing to the delayed summer, which has 

 only just arrived. Peonies are late. At 

 this date last year they had vanished 

 from the market. Now they are at their 

 best in quality, with prices low and un- 

 satisfactory. 



Seldom have orchids exceeded the 

 legitimate demand, but there are too 

 many at present for even their widening 

 field.
