PITTSBURG. 



The Market. 



Trade has been somewhat irregular the 

 last week. The cold and rain shortened 

 op stock, however, and the supply just 

 about equaled the demand, so things were 

 easy with the wholesalers and they were 

 not complaining. 



The retailers, however, seemed to find 

 cause for complaint, not only from the 

 fact that trade was unusually quiet, but 

 the fact that the first warm days they 

 looked for a grand rush among their 

 plant customers, each one wanting their 

 orders for bedding plants and window 

 and porch boxes filled at once. Plantsmen 

 are getting impatient about the continued 

 cold, which is holding everything back. 

 The first of April vegetation was at 

 least one month ahead, and now the mid- 

 dle of May finds it about a week later 

 than usual, with no better weather in 

 sight, and the weather man predicting 

 frost every night. 



Various Notes, 



H. L. Blind & Bros, have their new car 

 on the street and, as they have good 

 streets and roads between their east end 

 store and the greenhouses, they expect to 

 make good use of it for the next couple 

 of months. 



A couple of inebriates on the evening 

 of Friday, May 13, took a header through 

 the big plate glass window of Breit- 

 enstein 's store. One was reported in jail, 

 the other in the hospital. 



E. C. Reineman writes from Antwerp 

 that they had a delightful voyage, the 

 ocean being as smooth as a mill pond and 

 none of the party being seasick. 



The Pittsburg Credit Men's Associa- 

 tion has established a credit exchange 

 bureau, which will be invaluable to our 

 local people if they will all get in. Those 

 who have already joined are: W. C. 

 Beckert. A. W. Smith Co. and the Pitts- 

 burg Ciit Flower Co. It is hoped all 

 others in the trade will come in, as "in 

 unity there is strength." 



E. C. Ludwig, Julius Ludwig and 

 Charles Erhardt took part Thursday 

 night. May 2, in initiating the sheriff into 

 the B. P. O. E. at Ambridge, Pa. They 

 had a delightful time and got home the 

 following morning. 



Fred Burki, who went to Mt. Clemens a 

 week ago, is reported improving and it is 

 expected he will have entirely recovered
