Tbe Market. 



Several large funerals, a few small re- 

 ceptions and teas, and a general im- 

 provement in demand for cut flowers 

 made a busier week for the florists than 

 has been the case since the early part 

 of Jane. There has also been a per- 

 ceptible improvement in the quality and 

 quantity of stock reaching the market,

 in bettoT, and rosea aj:e plentiful and 

 good. Mums will hold the center of the 

 stage for the next six weeks and it is

 good stocks. The blooms last week 

 brought from $2.50 to $5 per dozen, 

 retail.
