that buyers are reluctant to pay the 

 usual Easter values. 



Have the growers ceased to hold 

 back carnations? In ye^rs gone by 

 there would be a pronounced scarcity a 

 few days before Easter. This year 

 there has been plenty of stock for all 

 demands. Some of the wholesalers have 

 been wondering about the lily crop. 

 Usually there is a lot of early stock 

 that comes onto the market just before 

 Easter, but in the last few days the re- 

 ceipts have been light. Some argue 

 that this means that quite a few grow- 

 ers must be late with their lilies, but 

 another explanation is that they have 

 moved them into cold quarters to await 

 the end of the week. Much nice, clean 

 stock is seen with short stems. 



The miscellaneous items never are in 

 great request at a holiday until after 

 the big staples have been well cleaned 

 up. Of the bulbous and miscellaneous 

 flowers ther«' has been enough for all, 

 with the prospect that the supply will 

 be adequate through the week. 



Sniilax is scarce, but asparagus 

 strings are more jdentiful than they 

 have been. Tlie price of ferns is going 

 up, for eastern holders advanced their 

 prices again April 1 and report that 

 their waste tliis season is heavier than 

 usual. 



Amling Is Bank President. 



At a meeting of some sixty Oak Park 

 business men who are the stockholders 

 in the new Oak Park State Bank, April 

 ], E. (;. Aniling was elected president. 

 Mr. Aniling is president of the whole-

 bears his name. Mis residence is in Oak 

 Park. The new bank starts out with 

 a capital of .$100,000 and .$20,000 sur- 

 plus, the oversubscription having been 

 over fifty per cent. It is understood 

 that Mr. Amling is considerably the 

 largest stockholder. The bank will put 

 up a handsome building at Marion and 

 Lake streets in Oak Park,

The Trade in the Council. 



Our trade lost its representation in 

 the city council at the election April 2, 

 Peter Reinberg being defeated by a re- 

 publican named Pretzel, who received 

 1,043 votes more than the wholesale 

 florist. The ward is strongly republican, 

 but three times Mr. Reinberg, a demo- 

 crat, succeeded in carrying it. Mr. 

 Reinberg was a close friend of Mayor 

 Harrison and the opposition to Harri-
