do not compensate the mine operators 

 for the increased cost of getting the 

 coal to the surface of the ground and 

 that there is no chance for lower prices 

 except at a loss; it would be better to 

 shut down, for selling at a loss means 

 bankruptcy in the end. With the buy- 

 ers holding off, the coal trade looks for 

 a boom as soon as cold weather arrives 

 and a probable shortage of supply. It 

 is said by some that the certainty of 

 strong demand a little later is enough 

 to prevent any material break in prices 

 during the next few weeks. 



FORT WAYNE, IND. 



The Market. 



The characteristics of summer time 

 have become apparent in the cut flower 

 market. The general exodus to the 

 lakes has begun, and few affairs of a 

 social nature are being planned in the 

 city. During the last week or two in 

 June there were many wedding orders, 

 but these have given place in early 

 July to a few parties for out-of-town 

 guests. 



Summer stock is plentiful. Kaiserin, 

 Killarney and Eichmond are the stand- 

 ards in roses. There are quantities of 

 Easter lilies on the market. Sweet peas 

 are small, due to the exceedingly hot 

 weather of the last few weeks. Out- 

 door varieties are now making their ap- 

 pearance. Other outdoor flowers, such 

 as coreopsis, Japanese iris, hydrangea, 

 etc., are now to be seen in great pro- 

 fusion. Carnations are fine for July, 

 and quantities are on the market daily. 

 Some good snapdragons are also in. 

 Greens of all kinds are scarce. The 

 shipping business is good. 



Various Notes. 



Frank Knecht's new range of green- 

 h(>use3 was quite extensively damaged 

 by a wind storm recently. His houses, 

 which are in course of construction, 

 were attacked at a critical time, and 

 much reglazing was necessary. How- 

 ever, they are now well on their way 

 to completion. 



An automobile accident, which would 

 have terminated fatally but for the 

 presence of mind of the chauffeur, oc- 

 curred here a few weeks ago, when the 

 Auburn touring car of the Flick Floral 

 Co., driven by A. Shive, manager of the 

 Flick greenhouses, with Mrs. G. W. 

 Flick in the tonneau, was struck at a 

 Wabash grade crossing on Fairfield ave- 

 nue by a backing freight train of five 

 cars. The gates were up and the right 

 of way apparently free when the auto 

 started across the track. When the car 

 reached the middle of the crossing, Mr. 

 Shive saw the backing freight, with no 

 rear light, four feet away. With rare 

 presence of mind, he turned the auto 

 in the direction the freight was run- 

 ning, turned off the^eogin^-aixd jumped 

 from the car, rescuing the omer pas- 

 senger. The auto was pushed 150 feet 

 / and was badly mutilated. Aside from 

 the shock, the occupants were not seri- 

 ously injured. The escape was deemed 

 a miraculous one.
