ties of Alabama smilax and other green 

 goods were used. 



The Gust Rusch Co. says that last 

 week many of the consignments re- 

 ceived were more or less frosted. 



The automobile of the C. C. Poll- 

 worth Co. caught fire January 12, while 

 bringing in the morning's stock, and 

 there was great excitement in the 

 neighborhood of Thirty-fifth street and 

 Grand avenue. Most of the stock that 

 was not burned was frozen. E. O.

The Rising Eastern Market. 



The zero weather that prevailed 

 during the first half of this week 

 affected supply and demand. The sup- 

 ply was reduced and the demand almost 

 annihilated, excepting in the fashion- 

 able shops, which were busy sometimes 

 but not always. Such cold weather 

 has rarely been known in this city, 

 the thermometer registering unheard-of 

 numbers of degrees below zero on three 

 successive mornings, January 12 to 14. 

 Prices have changed but little, only 

 the dull condition of the market makes 

 the average returns less than they have 

 been. The corsage flowers have suf- 

 fered more than any other; next to 

 them the poor grades, usually jobbed 

 off to the street merchants. Street 

 merchants don't do business in arctic 

 weather, so the culls accumulated. 

 There are no other special features in 

 the market, barring a reduction in sup- 

 ply and generally unsatisfactory cona- 

 tions in every department of flowerdom.

PHILADELPHIA, PA. 



Mention Tbe Review when 70a writ*. 



Philadelphia rose growers at the na- 

 tional convention of the American Rose 

 Society in Detroit last week is the 

 subject of much comment in trade cir- 

 cles here. It is generally known that 

 Philadelphia produces good roses, but 

 it is not generally known that the roses 

 grown in the neighborhood of this city 

 are of such excellence as to rival all 

 other sections of the country combined. 

 Following is a list of the prize-winning 

 exhibitors and the varieties for which 

 they received prizes: 



John R. Andre, Doylestown, first on twenty- 

 five White Klllarnpy. 



Adolph Farenwald, Hillside, second on 200 

 square feet of cut roses. 



.Toseph Heacock Co., Wyncote and Roelofs, first 

 on fifty Klllamey; second on twenty -five Kil- 

 iarney. 



Myers & Samtman, Wyndmoor, first on fifty 

 Double Pink KlUarney; first on twenty-flve Double 

 Pink KlUarney; first on fifty Hilda; second on 

 twenty-five Maryland; second on twenty-five 

 Beauties; third on fifty Beauties. 



Stocfcton & Howe, Princeton, N. J., Montgomery 

 cup foir best American rose not yet In commerce, 

 also $25 cash pri^e, on Rose Princeton, scoring 

 eighty- seTen points. , 



The Fuel Market. 



Smith, Lineaweaver & Co. say that 

 owing to the extraordinarily cold 

 weatber that has prevailed throughout 

 the country for the last ten days or 

 more, the demand for anthracite coal 

 is fax beyond the supply. Prices are 

 at full circular, and on many sizes at a 

 premium. The steam sizes are hard to 

 get and prices are high. It is with 

 great difficulty that deliveries of any 

 conse quence are made. The bitterly cold 

 weatiaer has reduced the output at all 

 the naines to less than half of what is 

 ordin arily shipped, and it is probably 

 safe to assume that all consumers of 

 coal are using about twice as much as 

 they ordinarily do. Taking the reduced 

 outpat, together with the increased con-
