 dotniuate llie market. I'lio projihccy is, 

 no liijj;li prices for tlu'in tliis season. 



'J'he street is lie<;innin;f to talk \iolets. 

 Some of the wliolesale nabobs are visit- 

 inj^ a score of tlieir j^rowers by auto in a 

 'lay, where formerly a week was consid- 

 ered none too short a time for tlie animal 

 missionary work. There will be mncii 

 -^lri\inir for supr(>macy this year. There 

 seems to be a prospi'ct of the survival of 

 I lie fittest. ''I'hiiif^s are seefhinjf here in 

 wliidesaledom, and plans and methods 

 .iiid farsifjhtedness are worthy of a llar- 

 riniaii. It may be years before we shall 

 see such conditions ayain. It needs a 

 -iieady hand to jjiiide the ships this year 

 into smooth waters.
