Tuesday found the market more 

 heavily supplied again, especially in 

 roses, and prices weaker. 



Express Bates Qo Down. 



It has been reported that the express 

 companies would take legal steps to 

 contest the order of the State Railroad 

 and Warehouse Commission in the mat- 

 ter of reducing express rates in Illinois 

 and an appeal was filed September 26 

 with the Circuit Court at Springfield, 

 but nevertheless the rates went down 

 October 1 — if one insisted on it. Whole- 

 salers found that some of the ship- 

 ments heretofore billed at 50 cents per 

 hundred pounds came billed at 40 cents 

 per hundred, while others were tilled at 

 the old rate. John Poehlmann got into 

 touch by telephone with the chief clerk 

 of the Wells Fargo and insisted on hav- 

 ing all shipments billed at the reduc- 

 tion, and the wagon man was instructed 

 over the 'phone to change the billing. 

 The reduced rate applies only on ship- 

 ments wholly within the state of Illi- 

 nois, but it reduces to 40 cents the 

 rate within a radius of thirty miles 

 from Chicago.

Growers, Attention!

 the Chicago market and space 

 enough to accommodate sev- 

 eral growers selling their own 

 stock.

for September as ahead of those for 

 last year. With minor exceptions, the 

 report is that September fell behind 

 the record of a year ago. Demand was 

 so inactive that prices averaged much 

 below those of last September. It 

 should be taken into consideration, how- 



ever, that September, 1910, was an ex- 

 ceptionally good September. 



September Weather. 



September was an unusual month, 

 meteorologically speaking. There were 

 only nine clear days and rain fell on
