The month of July, from the stand- 

 point of receipts, has been one of the 

 poorest in the history of the local trade. 

 Flowers of all kinds, with the exception 

 of fancy roses, continue to be a glut on 

 the market, and as far as prices are con- 

 cerned, it seems to be ridiculous to quote 

 them. The month of July is usually our 

 poorest time, but this year has proven 

 to be a "corker" in the amount of busi- 

 ness that did not materialize. 



In a general way, the depression which 

 lias affected all lines of trade is to blame, 

 but to be more specific, the badly divided 

 neighborhoods devoted to retail shop- 

 ping have so demoralized the old land- 

 marks that the florists have not as yet 

 been able to direct any appreciable flow 

 of trade to any particular locality. We 

 are in the midst of San Francisco's re- 

 building, and new dividing lines will 

 have to be drawn before the best loca- 

 tions can be assured. All the principal 

 stores are now located well down in the 

 newer parts of town, in the immediate 

 vicinity of the larger dry goods houses. 

 As this has all happened within the past 

 few months, and at that time of the year 

 when business is very quiet anyhow, it is 

 but to be expected it will be some time 

 before the flower buying public will get 

 well acquainted with the new locations 

 md act accordingly. 



The retailers have shown an unbounded 

 faith in the revival of trade, and a ma- 

 jority have secured long leases at big 

 rentals. It is held by many that the 

 business done for a long time to come 

 will not justify the prices asked for the 

 flififerent locations, and the gameness of 

 the store men has been at once the ad- 

 miration and surprise of wholesalers and 

 others. 



At none of the principal stores is there 

 any lack of enthusiasm nor any idea that 

 the coming of the fall trade will not 

 fully justify the expenditures spoken of.
