The Market. 



There is a perceptible change in the 

 flowers coming into the market this 

 w^eek, a change that is due to the cool 

 nights and to the long drought. The 

 outdoor flowers that have dominated 

 the market 'for the last two months are 

 on the down grade, while the indoor 

 flowers are improving, and to their 

 nuiyber has' 1)een added the gardenia 

 and several choice orchids. There are 

 fine asters in the, market and the 

 dahlias are good and will be much bet- 

 ter when it rains, but there are also 

 lots of poor asters and the general run 

 of outdoor stock is retrograding, while 

 the gladioli are fast disappearing. 

 (Josinos is an exception, as its season is 

 just commencing. 



The wealth of choice stock now com- 

 ing in hardly finds a suitable response 

 in the demand. While there is more 

 business than a fortnight ago, it is not 

 nearly so much more as the supply war- 

 rants, and prices are low except on
