The Market. 



The cut flower market became dull 

 •■Juring the latter part of the week as 

 far as demand was concerned, though 

 in other respects the market was at its 

 best. Greatly reduced prices prevailed. 

 The florists in the west end who do 

 most of the social work report that 

 trade has fallen off since Lent began, 

 though considerable funeral work has 

 helped out. 



In the downtown district the store 

 men say transient trade was a big 

 feature last week, though reduced 

 prices prevailed at all the downtown 

 stores. 



The wholesale men had a hard time 

 disposing of their large consignments 

 (luring the week. Violets and sweet 

 peas were sold in large lots at low 

 prices. All bulb stock is now coming 

 in quite heavily and some extra fine 

 tulips, Dutch hyacinths and valley were 

 to be had daily at any of the wholesale 

 markets. All of the above-mentioned 

 tiowers are a glut. 



Itoses have held their own so far, 

 with no glut in sight. Still, a great 

 many are coming in and prices ..have 

 weakened. All are of the best qiiality 

 ■except American Beauties, which are 

 ■of inferior quality and have little de- 

 mand. All grades in these are plenti- 

 ful. The great snow storm on Tues- 

 <lay, I'ebruary 20, did not help the 

 .business any. 



Various Notes. 



The local trade was greatly sur- 

 prised last week when the announce-
