The Market. 



Business has been quiet, but this is a 

 condition which prevails at this time 

 during election years. There is plenty 

 of stock of all kinds, more than can 

 reasonably be used, with the possible 

 exception of carnations. Toward the 

 close of last week these were quite 

 scarce, especially reds. There has been 

 a decided drop in temperature, which 

 has killed off practically all outdoor 

 stock and leaves the market open for 

 the indoor flowers. 



Violets, both single and double, are 

 in much better shape, but there is as 

 yet little demand for them, even at 25 

 and 50 cents per hundred. Chrysanthe- 

 mums are, of course, all the rage at 

 present, and these are bringing from 

 $4 to $20 per hundred, the average 

 prices being from $10 to $12. Eoses of 

 all colors are running from $4 to $6 

 per hundred; American Beauty roses, of 

 which there are enough to supply all

demands, run from $1.50 to $4 per 

 dozen. Irish Fire Flame, a beautiful 

 single introduced in this city about two 

 weeks ago, is taking well. Lady Hill- 

 ingdon also is meeting with a fairly 

 good sale, and the Richmonds of local 

 growth have improved immensely. Car- 

 nations are bringing from $1.50 to $3 

 per hundred. There are plenty of or- 

 chids in the market, and, while the 

 price per dozen is being held at $6, this 

 figure is shaded when a large sale is 

 impending. Gardenias are being of- 

 fered at from $1.50 to $3 per dozen.

Various Notes. 



The S. S. Pennock-Meehan Co. has 

 taken possession of its new building at 

 1216 H street, N. W. Well fitted up 

 throughout, it makes an appearance 

 that can hardly be beaten. Entrance 

 to the store is from beneath a marquee 

 of wrought iron set with glass, to the 

 left of which is the large display win- 

 dow, with its tiled floor. The flooring 

 of the store is of concrete, while the 

 ceiling is of art metal work, from which 

 hang suspended by gilt chains several
