NEW YOBE. 



The Market. 



, The cold wave has departed, leaving 

 a record of the worst January business 

 New York has ever known. The regu- 

 lar winter temperature seems to have 

 returned and, with no superabundance 

 of arrivals in roses or other cut flowers, 

 there should be satisfactory business 

 during the balance of the season, or at 

 least until Lent arrives. McKinley day 

 should exert its influence, and remind- 

 ers of it are already in all the whole- 

 salers' windows. 



Shipments of all kinds were light 

 last week, but prices did not advance, 

 although Beauties were especially firm 

 and 75 cents was the asking price for 

 the selected ones at the end of the 

 week. There has been no change in the 

 values of other roses. Killarney still 

 leads the procession. The new roses 

 lose none of their attractiveness and 

 popularity. Carnations were disap- 

 pointing to the wholesale distributors 

 and any lift to values seemed a hope- 

 less task. Few sold above 3 cents, even 

 of the novelties. Lilies were firmer, 

 valley abundant and orchids about suf- 

 ficient for the demand. There are m6re 

 callas arriving and a better gradel, 

 some selling up to $2 a dozen. Gar- 

 denias do not go above $4 a dozen for 

 the best. A lot of second-class stock 

 is arriving that the street venders and 

 the department stores must take. There 

 is a great abundance of bulbous stock. 

 Daffodils are no longer limited and of 

 freesia there is no end. Tulips are 

 improving. All the other seasonable 

 stock is in liberal supply. 



The cold interfered with the violet 

 demand, but prices held at 60 cents for 

 the best. There was no outlet for 

 the lower grades. This week should 

 see an increased demand. St. Valen- 

 tine's day and the privileges of leap 

 year should make February an espe- 

 cially good month.
