The Market. 



Stock of every description, with the 

 exception of white roses, is scarce. 

 Chrysanthemums are about on their last 

 legs. Carnations are almost unheard 

 of and according to present indications 

 this flower will be scarce for Christmas. 

 Roses are also short and not equal to 

 the local demand, although trade has 

 fallen off somewhat since Thanksgiving. 

 Valley is not any too plentiful and 

 lilies are scarce. Monday morning, De- 

 cember 9, found the market almost void 

 of stock and the coolers at all the stores 

 more or less empty. Many novelties in 

 Christmas greens are available at the 

 wholesalers'. The outlook is exception- 

 ally bright for a good Christmas trade. 

 Prosperity is the word all about town. 



Various Notes. 



John Breitmeyer's Sons had the deco- 

 rations for the Assembly ball, in the 

 Hotel Ponchartrain. Mr. Danzer, their 

 decorator, fairly outdid himself. 



A limousine, running into the rear of 

 E. A. Fetter's fine new delivery car, 

 damaged it to the extent of about $50. 

 Fortunately, no one was hurt in the 

 accident. 



Robert Jean was considerably wor- 

 ried December 8 over the loss of a large 

 shipment of roses and other stock from 

 Kalamazoo. 



Every available auto in the 

 convertible into a delivery car, has bee! 

 already engaged for the holidays. Re- 

 tailers who left this to the last minute 

 arc now decidedly up against it. 



There is a rumor to the effect that a
