NEW YOEK. 



The Market. 



The market is hardly worthy of the 

 name. The summer heat and the ad- 

 vancing season together have left it 

 without life or foundation. If there 

 be any changes in values, the ten- 

 dency is downward. Much of the rose 

 stock arriving is mildewed, open and 

 unsalable. At times last week the tem- 

 perature hugged 100 degrees in the 

 shade. 



The present week opens with exces- 

 sive humidity and nothing of impor- 

 tance is occurring to give it extra life, 

 except the steamer and funeral work, 

 which seems to be the only relief to 



the congested market. Some of the re- 

 tailers say the orders for steamer flow- 

 ers from out of town are numerous. All 

 the outgoing steamers are crowded. So- 

 ciety has departed to the summer re- 

 sorts and Newport is already doing a 

 large business through the New York 

 branches of the city's leading stores. 



Apart from the best Beauties and 

 other roses, no prices can be quoted. 

 Beauties, when selected, bring good 

 figures, but the quantity is so small the 

 large stores contract for them before 

 arrival. Killamey is still abundant and 

 is demonstrating its worth as an all-the- 

 year-around rose to the satisfaction of 

 the growers. Asters are here from many 

 sources^ the first arriTald reaching the 

 New Y4JTk market Saturday, June 25. 



Carnations seldom sell above $1 per 

 hundred, and great quantities are dis- 

 posed of by the street merchants at less
