The Market. 



There seems to be some slight im- 

 provement in trade. Stock of all kinds is 

 moving better and the general feeling 

 is that it indicates the beginning of 

 better times. There has been quite a 

 good deal of funeral work during the 

 week, which also helped to clean up con- 

 siderable of the surplus stock. Some fine 

 asters are still coming in, but with 

 them are immense quantities which are 

 not worth shipping. 



Various Notes. 



There was a severe storm on the 

 night of September 14, in fact a cloud 

 burst, which caused considerable incon- 

 venience to the growers, as the tracks 

 of the B. & O. railroad and the Butler 

 trolley lines were both washed out and 

 no trains were run until Sunday, caus- 

 ing the growers to drive over a round- 

 about road to get to 'the city with their 

 stock. 



The Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. was 

 compelled to haul its flowers to the store 

 in wagons last week, on account of the 

 wash-out on the railroad, giving them 

 a 22-mile drive. Some of the other 

 wholesale houses had to disappoint 

 customers, as they could not ship over 

 the railroad Friday or Saturday on ac- 

 count of the flood. 



The Schenley Park Conservatories 

 are beginning to rearrange their house 

 for the fall chrysanthemum show. 

 They expect to surpass anything they 

 have ever done, but if they do they wiU 

 have to go some, as their standard is 

 high. 



Joseph Byerly, one of the office force 

 with Randolph & McClements, was 

 married Thursday, September 14, the 

 bride being Mrs. Lillian Amelia Nied- 

 hammer, o? this city. They left imme- 

 diately for an eastern wedding trip and 

 after October 15 will be at home at 161 

 Mayflower street. Hoo-Hoo.
