The Southwestern Market. 



The market was rather dull as far as 

 business was concerned last week. The 

 weather was fine and stock of all kinds 

 was abundant. Prices fell lower than 

 ip ver for this year. The retailers surely 

 had no complaint to make in regard 

 to the supply and prices, especially 

 those who bought in big lots. 

 ' Roses were received in large con- 

 signments at all of the wholesale 

 houses, and in all varieties. Long 

 Beauties were quite plentiful, with the 

 price at $4 per dozen for the best. 

 Other roses sold well, but the demand 

 was not enough to consume the supply. 

 All the standard varieties, such as 

 Richmond, the Killarneys, Bride and 

 Maid, are of extra good quality. Car- 

 nations are in great supply, with the 

 price at $10 in thousand lots. The 

 quality is extra fine. Sweet peas, too, 

 were too many for the wholesalers to 

 dispose of at anything like a fair 

 price. The extra fancy held their own, 

 but the shorts sold as low as $1.50 per 

 thousand. A quantity of fine single 

 and double lilacs were disposed of dur- 

 ing the week. Violets are over for 

 this season. Lilies and callas are more 

 than the demand calls for. Valley was 

 in quite heavy demand all through the 

 week. Other bulbous stock is over for 

 the season. Some fine yellow daisies 

 are coming in and sell well at $2 per 

 hundred for the fancy. 



In greens the market had a busy 

 week, as the demand was large.
