of the market is due. Wliile some of 

 the representatives have contented 

 themselves with advisinj? the trade that 

 their orders have been shipped and that 

 the house cables that it is able to make 

 promi)t shipment on additional orders, 

 others have written the most disturb- 

 ing letters, quoting deep cuts in prices 

 and inviting bids if the quotation is 

 not low enough to be attractive. This 

 refers to bulbs which ordinarily would 

 go to the countries now at war. The 

 disturbing quotations have, of course, 

 gone in many cases to those who have 

 placed orders with other parties at 

 regular rates. The result is that many 

 buyers want to cancel their orders, 

 while not many of those who could use 

 more bulbs at a price care to take hold 

 until conditions become a little more 

 settled. 



The probabilities are that after tho 

 first shock has passed, the Holland 

 gentlemen will recover their nerve and 

 that the market will assume some de- 

 gree of stability. At first there were 

 to be no Dutch bulbs at all, unless one 

 read The Review; then this country 

 would be flooded, but the chance is 

 good that general business conditions 

 in Europe soon will adjust themseh es, 

 that transportation will oi)en and that 

 this country will not be used as a 

 dumping ground for the whole croi) of 

 European bulbs. 



FRENCH BULBS. 



Anxiety in regard to the size of the 

 French bulb imj)orts or as to the proba- 

 bility of a rise in prices on these stocks 

 is now out of the question, for a com- 

 parison of the figures of last season and 

 of the receipts so far this season show 

 that the full season 's supply is in this 

 country. The imports of French bulbs 

 through the port of New York, the port 

 of by far the largest entry, for last sea- 

 son amounted to something over 18,000' 

 cases. The consignments on the steamer 

 Patria, from Marseilles, which arrived at 

 New York August 12, brought the total 

 up to 18,443 cases for this season. 



The consignment of French bulbs come 

 in three or four large batches of several 

 thousand cases each, followed for a 

 month or so by small, occasional ship- 

 ments. The large batches for this sea- 

 son are already here, and the receipts 

 are already as large as those of the whole
