Febbdart lU, 1014. 



^ 



cold weather came. There had been a 

 let-up in demand all over the country 

 and for the first time m ^ year the pro- 

 du<if rs were facing a nWt' market gener- 

 alljjrf' ♦Heretofore when demand fell off 

 in the west there was a market in the 

 east, and vice versa. Lately there has 

 been no demand in either direction and 

 even with production on half time it 

 was impossible to avoid an accumula- 

 tion of uMold coal. A great deal of 

 this was in Chicago. There were some 

 sharp concessions in prices. The last few 

 days of cold weather have done much 

 to clean up the accumulation and to re- 

 store prices to circular, but still $1.15 

 and $1.25 on mine run coal is a common 

 quotation, the circular being $1.40. The 

 situation with regard to Illinois and 

 Indiana bituminous and the eastern an- 

 thracite also has been strengthened by 

 the winter weather.

St. Valentine's Day Trade. 



During the last week we have been 

 having some genuine winter weather. 

 St. Valentine's day we were in the 

 midst of a snow storm, which left us a 

 foot of snow and severe weather. Trade 

 (, for St. Valentine's day was good. The 

 •window arrangements of B. F. Barr & 

 Co., H. A. Schroyer, W. A. Hammond, 

 Geo. Goldbach and the Rosery never 

 showed a finer or more varied display 

 of spring flowers. Fancy sweet peas, 

 yellow marguerites and forget-me-nots 

 were in extra demand. Our local daily 

 papers carried some good advertising 

 matter relative to using flowers more 

 freely for valentines, which brought 

 good results to the trade in general. 



Club Meeting.

 is issuing membership cards to its mem- 

 bers, with which they can secure a dis-

 carnations. We shall also have a report
