NEW YOEK. 



The Market. 



The week opens with rain and chill. 

 It is and has been a remarkable sea- 

 son, abnormal and unsolvable. The 

 craft has suffered from the unseason- 

 ableness more than any other business. 

 The last few weeks have approached 

 the dullness of midsummer. An abun- 

 dance of everything floods the market, 

 while the demand is disappointing. 

 Doubtless the end of this week will see 

 a temporary change for the better, and 

 Memorial day should materialize a thor- 

 ough clean-up of the cut flower market. 

 June wedding bookings are a hopeful 

 sign. Every retailer of prominence has 

 his share. Improvement, when it be- 

 gins, should* therefore last until July. 

 With the New York market so stocked 

 with the choicest productions of the 

 expert growers of this section, there 

 should be again materialized a good 

 shipping trade, but so dependent are 

 the growers on this market as an out- 

 let, that great quantities of their sur- 

 plus are reaching us daily from Phila-
