The Market. 



The wheels of improvement in the 

 market move slowly, but on Saturday, 

 October 1, the atmosphere in the whole- 

 sale section had changed; one could, if 

 at all sensitive, feel the vibrations of 

 new life. Everything that had merit 

 sold rapidly, and, while prices did not 

 advance so as to merit special mention, 

 the general tone was firm and the se- 

 lected stock of every kind found imme- 

 diate demand. Violets are cdming fast. 

 There were some seventy-five boxes Oc- 

 tober 1. From now on the supply will 

 increase daily. Of the quality, it is best 

 not to speak. A few extra bunches 

 touched 50 cents per hundred, but that 

 was high water mark and the tide 

 turned quickly. 



It is remarkable how many orchids 

 are arriving and how many wholesalers 

 are handling them. Fortunately, the 

 demand is increasing steadily. Much of 

 the rose stock is small and short- 

 stemmed. Some of it is mildewed. 

 Only the best brings satisfactory prices. 

 Tremendous arrivals of the short- 

 stemmed stock go at the buyer's offer. 



Carnations are improving rapidly in 

 size of flower and length of stem, but 

 seldom can over 2 cents be obtained for 

 them. Chrysanthemums are beginning 

 to arrive from the specialists, and for 

 the finest specimens $4 per dozen and 

 upward was the figure. These find their 

 way to the centers of the retail display 

 windows and sell rapidly to the return- 

 ing Four Hundred, who are trooping 

 eitvward in droves as the leaves begin 

 to fall. 



Gardenias improve in size and stem 

 daily. The sources of supply seem un- 

 abated. Lilies have fallen again from 

 their high estate, as low as $6 per hun- 

 dred at the end of the week being ac- 

 cepted willingly. Dahlias are abundant. 

 Many of the new varieties are superb. 

 They have been largely utilized in bas- 

 ket work and window decoration.

 of the vear was seen last week at the
