The Market. 



After ihe nice weather of the holi- 

 days, January started to make things 

 interesting. It brought out a tempera- 

 ture of 9 degrees below zero, with a 

 30-mile wind to help it through the 

 cracks and help keep the firemen busy. 

 The local gas company had a break- 

 down, and the gas pressure all over the 

 city dropped to nil. The greenhouses 

 using gas for fuel had a job of quick 

 changing on their hands, tearing out 

 the burners and steaming up with coal 

 in time to save the stock in the houses, 

 which had not warmed up any during 

 the change. No serious freeze-ups were 

 reported, although the wind at that 

 temperature found a few unprotected 

 corners and nipped some stock at the 

 ends of some of the houses. 



The month has shown an unusual 

 amount of cloudy weather, and this 

 has made a great difference in the 

 quantity of stock cut from local plants. 

 Conditions outside of this city do not 

 seem to have been much better; so it 

 has been hard to buy extra stock to 

 fill in the shortage. The demand has 

 been much accelerated by both local 

 and out-of-town funeral work, and for 

 several days the stores have had to 

 "scrape bottom" early in the day to 

 fill orders. The handling of the extra 

 business was not helped by the fact 

 that the gas shortage caused an epi- 

 demic of grip that got into the florists' 

 forces as well as all other lines of work 

 in the city. The stores were run short- 

 handed, with some on duty who felt 

 more like putting in time at a hospital. 



The general run of stock has been 

 quite good, and prices have not been 

 much higher than usual, although roses 

 have run fairly stiff. At present it 

 looks almost like an even break as to 

 whether conditions will come back to 

 normal or prices will take a soar. The 

 steady call for funeral arrangements 

 has caused a shortage in white stock 

 that extends even to bulbous stock, 

 which is usually equal to all demands. 

 Violets, sweet peas and valley are com- 

 ing in just enough to be tantalizing.
