PROVIDENCE. 



The Market. 



Business during the last week was 

 on a par with that of previous years 

 for this season, as regards general 

 trade, but two or three large funerals 

 gave an unusual impetus to the aggre- 

 gate for the week. There are practi- 

 cally no carnations in the local market, 

 asters furnishing the major supply. 

 Roses are showing much improvement, 

 both in texture and length of stem. 

 A few Easter lilies are coming in. but 

 the supply is limited, with little de- 

 mand.

 mittee was appointed to consideT the 

 advisability and means .;0(l 'staTting a 

 market association. This committee 

 has failed so far to report anything 

 definite, and on Friday night, August

 in the matter decided to take it into 

 their own hands, with the result that" 

 on Saturday an option was secured on 

 a desirable location in the center of 

 the city. The market will be definitely 

 formed this week.
