The Market. 



Trade has been rather quiet here for 

 the last two weeks. There have been a 

 few weddings and several funerals, how- 

 ever, that used up a good quantity of 

 stock. There is not a great deal of stock 

 coming in at present. Carnations are 

 showing the effects of warm weather, and 

 not many are coming in, but good stock is 

 generally cleaned up daily. There are 

 some good roses coming in now, mostly 

 Maids from stock that was dried off early 



in the season. Sweet peas are plentiful, 

 and not much in demand. There are still 

 some longiflorum lilies coming in, and 

 they find a ready sale. There are quan- 

 tities of snapdragons, but the demand is 

 light for that kind of stock in this mar- 

 ket.
