WASHINGTON. 



The Market. 



Things are moving along considerably 

 better, on account of the number of 

 ■dinners, afternoon teas and other social 

 functions. There has been a marked 

 increase in the demand for stock and 

 prices are slightly higher. There are 

 plenty of flowers in nearly all season- 

 able varieties. More carnations are 

 making their appearance, but the sup- 

 ply is not heavy enough to fill all or- 

 ders. Chrysanthemums are at an end 

 and their place is being filled by roses. 

 Narcissi are exceptionally plentiful and 

 are a little in excess of the demand. 

 Azaleas, Lorraine begonias, poinsettias, 

 cyclamens and other potted plants have 

 made their appearance in the stores in 

 goodly numbers. There will be enough 

 cut flowers, with the possible exception 

 of some few novelties, for Christmas, 

 and the dealers are looking for a satis- 

 factory business. 



The early coming of Lent may have 

 some little ill effect on the trade, 

 though society can l)e dej)ended upon 

 to endeavor to cram into the next few 

 weeks nearly everything in the way of 

 entertainment that would have been 

 scheduled to take place if the inter- 

 vening time were longer. This will 

 bulk the amount of business done con- 

 siderably and would normally cause the 

 season of dullness to be much longer 

 th^p it would otherwise be, but, this 

 being the inaugural year, it is hard to 

 tell what will happen after Easter. 

 Should Congress be convened by Presi- 

 dent-elect "Wilson just after his induc- 

 tion^ into office, the social season will 

 be prolonged considerably. There is a 

 plan on foot to extend the inaugural 

 "ceremonies to cover a whole week, with
