John Sinner states tliat the owners of 

 the building in which the Flower Grow- 

 ers' Market is located are anxious to be- 

 gin the alterations referred to in last 

 week 's Review ; all that remains is to 

 get the market 's consent to beginning 

 work at once. The changes contemplate 

 moving the elevators and changing the 

 location of the stairway, giving the mar- 

 ket more space in the center of the room, 

 and taking something away from the cor- 

 ners to provide for new stairways. It 

 is understood that the refreshment es- 

 tablishment which occupies a portion of 

 the ground floor is also to take. May 1, 

 that part occupied by the Chicago Rose 

 Co., the latter concern being provided 

 for in the basement, next to Vaughan & 

 Sperry, where there may also be room 

 for one or two others.
