NEW YORK. 



The Market. ; ^ 



"We have not had so hot,jp'oi'««d^ond- 

 ing week as the last in twenty nine 

 years. From September 21 to 25 the 

 temperature was at times 95 degrees 

 in the shade. In thirty years New 

 York has not had so long a period of 

 drought; not a drop of rain has fallen 

 for twenty-eight days. 



Business has not been encouraging, 

 therefore, during the last week and 

 the expected improvement has so far 

 failed to materialize. Tremendous quan- 

 tities of roses have been received, most 

 of them short-stemmed and light- 

 beaded. But mixed boxes, with all 

 ffrades included, have been cleared at 

 bargain rates. American Beauties, 

 which were selling at $20 ])er hundred 

 when the week opened, fell to less thnn 



half and are still away below their real 

 value. Hillingdon seems to have lost 

 its popularity. Sunburst has totally 

 eclipsed it. There is a flood of yellow 

 roses. The new varieties are all grow- 

 ing in popularity. There is no doubt 

 as to the general demand for these this 

 season. 



, Orchids disappointed everybody by 

 their weakness, prices for fine Cattleya 

 labiata falling to $25 per hundred. There 

 seems to be an unlimited supply, also, 

 of oncidiums. Valley is no longer climb- 

 ing. No lilies could be bought under $5 

 per hundred during the week, and at its 

 end $6 was the average quotation. 

 Choice stock went even higher. The 

 days of 2-cent lilies are over. Carna- 

 tions are improving every day, and 

 prices are rising as the stems grow 

 longer. Wards and Beacon are worthy 

 of special mention. 



There are still plenty of asters and 

 gladioli, but another week will elimi- 

 nate them as a market factor. The ttium 

 stream is commencing and it will soon 

 ho M mighty river. Some fine Mon- 



rovia, Smith's Advance and pink seed^ 

 lings are already on view in many of 

 the wholesale windows. The dahlia sup- 

 ply to date is not inspiring as to qual- 

 ity, but the dahlia show is over and 

 finer stock is now expected. They will 

 be scarcer than usual, owing to the Ion? 

 drought. There are plenty of cosmos, 

 tuberoses, "tritomas and celosias for *■" 

 demands. '
