ROCHESTER. 



The Market 



Business is fairly active, considering 

 that, at this writing, Christmas is but a 

 week away. As a usual thing, trade is 

 extremely quiet until two or three days 

 before the holiday. From the present 

 outlook, stock will be quite scarce in this 

 market, especially carnations, which are 

 scarce even now, with a brisk demand. 

 They are therefore stiffening in price; 

 they are now bringing 3 cents to 4 cents 

 and will no doubt advance rapidly by 

 next week. With conditions such as these 

 prevailing, it is highly probable that the 

 trade, for once, will be spared having to 

 handle a lot of pickled stock, which, de- 

 spite the protests from time to time 

 against the practice, seems to be still in 

 evidence whenever the opportunity offers 

 for an advance of a cent or two in the 

 price. 



Plants for Christmas trade also seem 

 to be scarce, not being ready in time. 



Ground pine is an unknown quantity, 

 but there is plenty of laurel left, which 

 will probably clean up next week. Holly 

 is in good demand and no surprise will 

 be expressed if it is a scarce article by 

 the end of the week. H. B. S. 



MoNON, Ind.— Mrs. S. H. Myers has 

 conducted the business of S. H. Myers 

 & Co. since the death of her husband last 

 April.
