 by Dr. Darwin Pond as satisfactory. 

 He entered the hospital Sunday after- 

 noon. 



George Stollery lacked some of the 

 votes necessary to land the republican 

 nomination for alderman in the Twenty- 

 fifth ward. It was a big field of can- 

 didates.

The Market. 



The general dullness reported last 

 week still prevails, with a possible ex- 

 ception in favor of violets, which, prob- 

 ably under the impetus of the Lenten 

 demands for sober colors, have been 

 fairly active. The Fifth avenue re- 

 tailers report business as fairly good 

 for the season, though a lull is to be ex- 

 pected during Lent. Plants seem to be 

 coming forward rather earlier than 

 usual, no doubt because of the generally 

 mild and sunny weather. 



Beauties continue weak, the quality be- 

 ing unsatisfactory to the more exacting 

 buvers. Bride, Maid, the Killarneys and 

 reds all show weakness. The supply of 

 the yellow and of specialties generally, 

 such as Chatenay, Mrs. Ward and Lady 

 Hillingdon, is becoming more plentiful, 

 with a resulting shading of prices. Cat- 

 tleyas are in abundant supply and, even 

 at 30 cents, they drag. In fact, some 

 fair orchids have sold at a price con- 

 siderably under that figure. Valley is 

 plentiful at 2 to 3 cents. Gardenias 

 hold their own at .$1 to $3. Sweet peas 

 are plentiful and the demand does not 

 clean up the supplies as they come in. 

 Callas are in fair demand, but there is 

 no lack in the supply. Bulbous flowers 

 are plentiful and -mostly of good qual- 

 ity; daffodils, in particular, are so abun- 

 dant that quotations have sagged to 

 $1 and $2.

from the south, the mild weather hav- 

 ing made its shipment feasible. The 

 result is that the local growers are be- 

 ing crowded out to some extent, as 



they find it difficult to compete with 

 the southern growers in such mild 

 weather as has prevailed for the 

 greater part of the winter.
