PITTSBUKGH. 



The Market. 



February waa a satisfactory month 

 as far as Pittsburgh wholesalers were 

 concerned, the volume of business being 

 greater than last year. The prices, 

 while not as high as some other years, 

 were likewise satisfactory. These con- 

 ditions continued until last week, when 

 stock of all kinds arrived in such large 

 quantities that rock bottom prices went 

 into effect. Considerable stock was 

 moved, but I would be ashamed to see 

 some of the prices in print. However, 

 almost everything was sold at some 

 price, and everybody was satisfied Sat- 

 urday night. Some shippers, however, 

 will wonder what happened. For in- 

 stance, sweet peas and violets, which 

 had been selling nicely, died a natural 

 death and could not be moved at any 

 price. Carnations also were a glut and 

 the inferior stock found its way to the 

 dumping grounds. The retailers, while 

 not really busy, do not find the slump 

 which usually arrives with the lenten 

 season. 



Various Notes. 



The Pittsburgh Cut Flower Co. has 

 purchased a large Packard truck, which 

 makes daily trips to the Bakerstown 

 greenhouses, delivering a fresh stock 

 to the market store by seven o'clock 

 each morning. 



The McCallum Co. reports trade good, 

 but also finds more stock than is neces- 

 sary and an effort is needed to move 

 it and keep pace with the constantly 

 arriving consignments. 



A sign of approaching spring was 

 A. W. Smith's advertisement in the 

 street cars: "For Saturday, a Large 

 Box of Eoses for $1." 



Eandolph & McClements are keeping 

 up a fine display of blooming plants in; 

 their Baum street store. 



W. M. Deyoe & Co., Oil City, have 

 decided to open a store and have se- 

 lected what is considered a most prom- 

 ising site. 



L. J. Eowe, of Titusville, will rebuild 

 and enlarge his greenhouses to the ex- 

 tent of about 25,000 feet this summer. 

 He has been putting in his spare time 

 this winter manufacturing concrete 

 benches, which will take the place of 

 wood in all his houses. 



Wm. Schmidt, of Johnston, Pa., is 

 arranging for a trip abroad in the near 

 future. 



John A. Miller opened a new store 

 last Saturday in Tarentum, Pa.
