The Market 



Indian summer has been experienced 

 in this city and vicinity with a vengeance 

 during the last week. November 13 the 

 thermometer broke the record for this 

 season of the year, going up to 78. 

 There is almost a glut of chrysanthe- 

 mums, and they are soft and do not 

 stand up as well as usual. Prices are 

 low and stock moves with an apathy 

 that is discouraging. With a fall in 

 temperature prices will harden, blooms 

 will be better and by Thanksgiving it 

 is expected that conditions will be nor- 

 mal. 



Roses, carnations and violets hold well, 

 but there is a growing demand for nov- 

 elties, although local growers seem loath 

 to branch out, and few appear to take 

 kindly to going into anything except the 

 standard stock.
