The Market. 



Thanksgiving vras almost spoiled by 

 two days of rain and sleet, the first pre- 

 monition of winter. Everything was ad- 

 vancing to legitimate values at this sea- 

 son, but the storm interfered and the holi- 

 day turned out no better than a good 

 Saturday. The business of Saturday, No- 

 vember 27, was generally satisfactory 

 and the outlook now is cheerful. The 

 best Beauties sold at 35 cents to 40 

 cents and the best of the other roses at 

 6 cents to 8 cents. Violets sold at from 

 75 cents down, and carnations at 4 cents, 

 for the novelties and the selected, down 

 to 1 cent, following the lead of No. 2 

 roses to this bottom. There were many 

 thousands of violets left over from the 

 holiday that suffered a painful shock and 

 fall. One wholesaler received over fifty 

 boxes of them on one train Wednesday, 

 November 24. 



There was some pickling for Thanks- 

 giving. Those who held their Monday 

 and Tuesday cuts for higher prices made 

 the usual mistake. It does not pay to 

 pickle. 



Bose stock of all kinds is perfect and 

 the market from now on should consume 

 the whole of it, even though some of 

 the large growers average many thou- 

 sands daily. There never has been so 

 tremendous a showing of chrysanthemums 

 :.t this time of the year, and in quality 

 I have never seen anytMng to compare 

 with them. The enormous shipments have 

 kept the price down, even the best not 

 advancing over $3 per dozen. Stock well 

 worth 25 cents other years has been sold 

 at 10 cents and 12 cents. Thousands of 

 good flowers were closed out at $5 per 

 hundred. It was discouraging while it 

 lasted. Fortunately the growers have 

 had a sure outlet, even in these floods, for 

 the wholesale street was never in better 

 shape to handle stock to the mutual ad- 

 vantage of all concerned.
