The Market. 



Business last week was nothing to 

 'boast of. While there was a little fu- 

 neral work, trade is not what it should 

 'be for this time of the year. Stock is 

 'not overplentiful and the prices will be 

 stiff for Thanksgiving. Roses, Beau- 

 ties and carnations are scarce. There 

 lis a fair supply of mums, but the prices 

 will be firm. The pompon varieties have 

 been in fair demand, but the prices have 

 not been as high as heretofore. East- 

 ern double violets are being shipped in 

 daily and have been selling well. 



Various Notes. 



Bertermann Bros. Co. has the new 

 conservatory completed and ready for 

 business. This is a modern greenhouse, 

 with an elegant entrance on Delaware 

 street. There is a cellar under the en- 

 tire house and, with the additional room 

 and conveniences, this should add ma- 

 terially to the facilities for handling 

 the ever increasing business. 



Ernest Fisher, with A. Wiegand & 

 Sons, has a new baby girl at his house. 

 Jay Lytle, with the same firm, spent a 

 couple of days in Brown county hunt- 

 ing last week. He says there is noth- 

 ing to it, as four rabbits were the ex- 

 tent of his bag. 



W. W. Coles, of Kokomo, was in the 

 city last week, attending the ceremonial 

 of the Mystic Shrine. 



Robert Fohl, with the Indianapolis 

 Flower & Plant Co., is the proud father 

 of a baby girl. 



J. J. Karins, with Henry A. Dreer, 

 and C. B. Knickman, with McHutchison 

 & Co., called on the traiB here last 

 week. 



George Wiegand spent a few days 

 with Harry Jones, of the Jones-Russell 

 Co., in Cleveland this week. 



Frank Hasselman, who has been 

 spending a mjonth in the west, reports 

 that he bagged a deer on one of his 

 hunting trips. 



George Gause, of Richmond, attended 

 the convocation of the Scottish Rite 

 last week. 



Oliver Steinkamp visited his brother 

 i* St. Louis last week.
