The Market. 



The week opens with rain and heavy 

 fogs, after many days of clear, cold 

 weather that has added enormously to 

 the cut flower shipments. There is enough 

 of everything and to spare and the re- 

 maining days of Lent probably must 

 pass before any encouraging life can 

 be infused into the situation. Lent it- 

 self does not seem to affect the gayety 

 of the four hundred; dinners and re- 

 ceptions are numerous and will be while 

 the winter lasts. Great gatherings of 

 the country's most eminent men cele- 

 brated in banquets here the birthday of 

 Lincoln, and other groups the natal day 

 of the father of his country. These 

 depleted the Beauty surplus at any rate, 

 though the flood of other roses seems 

 interminable. Especially may this be 

 said of Maid and Killarney. The street 

 men are again in evidence whenever the 

 weather permits and last week were han- 

 dling great quantities of valley, violets 

 and carnations, somewhat relieving the 

 situation. 



The market has never been so over- 

 whelmed with carnations and, while the 

 quality is perfect, prices at this date 

 have never been so low. The buyer is 

 now the autocrat and what he offers is 

 seldom refused. Lilies are down to about 

 half last week's figure, 6 cents buying 

 the best of them February 19. Gar- 

 denias and orchids share in the general 

 depression and violets, the best of them, 

 never rise above 50 cents, while the 

 overflow goes at any price one can get 

 for them. The prices on bulbous stock, 

 especially tulips, are unquotable and only 

 the long-stemmed new varieties of sweet 

 peas seem to be desired. It is hard to 

 conceive of any uplift to the market 

 before Easter and in the meantime 

 everybody seems to be cheerfully making
