The Market. 



September 30 being cool, business re- 

 sponded quickly and trade was fairly 

 good. October 2 brought rain and duU- 

 ness. Generally speaking, business is 

 on the mend. A lot of old stock has 

 been' cleaned up, and the market being 

 free of it, the new arrivals are meet- 

 ing better conditions. Prices are stif- 

 fening, but are not yet good. The 

 prospects, however, are distinctly en- 

 couraging. Roses are improving in 

 quality and the market for them is in 

 a generally livelier condition. Prices, 

 as yet, are scarcely higher, but they are 

 noticeably firmer. Lilies are in rather 

 better demand and prices are stiffen- 

 ing. The first October Frost and Hal- 

 liday mums are added to the list and 

 it is remarked that it is unusually early 

 for Hallidays, which seldom arrive here 

 before the end of October. 



Various Notes. 



C. JE^ Meehan, of the Pe^i^ck-Mee^- 

 han "Co., was here last We^ looking 

 over the situation. 



Henry Pftster.has given up growing 

 his own stock and has sold his green- 

 houses at Chevy Chase. After trying 

 the plan of buying everything for some 

 time, he pronounces it more satisfactory 

 than trying to wholesale and retail at 

 the same time. Mr. Pfister finds busi- 

 ness rather better than it was last 

 year, although he is located where he 

 must depend on the best class of trade 

 — people who go away from the city 

 early and stily late. .After spending 

 tweftty-seven years in the government 

 service, Mr. Pfiater says he regrets that 

 he did not set up for himself many 

 years sooner than he did. ; . v 



W. B. Shaw is making a great success 

 of 1^ aquatics. He h&» eight acres at 

 KenlWiBrth, where he raises, all kinds;
