same time there is no pressure from 

 packers to sell either spot or future 

 goods. In fact, it is reported that 

 stock remaining unsold out of the 1910 

 pack in the hands of canners is much 

 lighter than in any previous year at 

 this time. In future Maryland tomatoes 

 the movement is light. Future western 

 peas have sold freely until recently at 

 tile opening prices and there is a fur- 

 ther demand, but packers have sold 

 about all they care to in advance of 

 the pack. The movement in Maine fu- 

 ture corn is somewhat disappointing to 

 packers and it is rumored that some of 

 them are making a lower price to get 

 business. Western corn is not freely 

 offered on the spot or for future de- 

 livery and prices are firmly main- 

 tained."

The weather man certainly is most 

 unkind. One day he gives us bright, 

 sunny weather that pushes the mercury 

 up to 72 degrees, but the next day he 

 hands out rain and the third day ho 

 serves hail and snow. At the end of 

 last week most orders were again being 

 filled in full. This week, if the first 

 day is an accurate criterion, they will 

 be more than filled, for February 20, 

 the day of all days for the retailers to 

 replenish their stock, the buying was 

 light, while the receipts were heavy. 

 A brisk shipping demand has served to 

 take many flowers out of the market 

 and, judging from advance orders for 

 the week, this will continue. The auto 

 show and consequent social functions 

 should take up many flowers. 



White roses come in splendidly, while 

 pink are less in number. Killarney, 

 White Killarney, Richmond and Rhea 

 Reid are all off crop. Carnations ar- 

 rive stronger every day and until this 

 week found a splendid market. Bulb- 

 . ous stock and callas arrive in larger 

 quantities. Of the former the good 

 flowers sell readily, while the poorer 

 ones drag considerably. Longiflorums 

 have slackened temporarily. Valley 

 finds few buyers. Marguerites and 

 sweet peas are good stock. 



Single violets increased in supply 

 last week. They move correspondingly 

 slow. Saturday evening, at the close
