twenty-five to thirty horse-power

CINCINNATI. 



The Market. 



Summing up last week, it can 

 scarcely be called an ordinary one. 

 Practically all the offerings were of 

 the best quality, but even that did not 

 induce buying as it should have done. 

 The rainy weather of the first part of 

 the week seemed to put an effective 

 damper on business. The people did 

 not come out and buy from the retail- 

 ers except when absolutely necessary, 

 and the latter seemed to forget to buy 

 frtfm the wholesaler. January 10, how- 

 ever, things were much brighter and 

 by the close of the week almost every- 

 thing was cleaning up nicely, although 

 the prices realized were hardly normal 

 for the time of the year. 



The demand seemed to be mostly for 

 roses, carnations and the like. There 

 seems to be a decided falling off in the 

 call for small flowers for corsages, due 

 to the small number of receptions and 

 balls. Single violets, all Princess of 

 Wales, are of elegant quality. A few 

 tulips and snapdragons are seen. Plu- 

 mosus, which was short in supply last 

 week, is back to normal, while smilax 

 and Sprengeri continue to arrive in 

 quantities. 



Various Notes. 



E. G. Gillett received some boxes of 

 Keizerskroon tulips this week that 

 found a good sale. 



Al. Heckman has been confined to his 

 home since January 10, by a severe 

 attack of neuralgia. During his ab- 

 sence Alex Ostendarp is having to do 

 some tall hustling at the Cincinnati Cut 

 Flower Exchange. 



Frank Farney, of the M. Rice Co., 

 and Sam Seligman, of Wertheimer Bros., 

 are in town. 



The increase in Miss Mae Carroll's 

 business reminds one of the old adage, 

 "Great oaks from little acorns grow." 



R. Witterstaetter has taken a jaunt 

 to Panama to have a look at the "big 

 ditch." 



January 11 the deal was closed 

 whereby Al. Forder acquired Miss Shan- 

 ahan's store in Avondale. 



Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Conger spent the 

 latter part of the holidays with Mr. 

 Conger's mother at Chicago. 



Martin Reukauf, of H. Bayersdorfer 

 & Co., was a caller last week.

OMAHA. 



Trade has been good following one 

 of the greatest of holidays. The weather 

 has been fine and flowers plentiful. 

 Prices have kept up well and we have 

 no kick coming.

 meeting January 9 and elected officers
