purchases of a precautionary character. 

 A large percentage of the buying, how- 

 ever, is due entirely to desire of, or to 

 current n^eds for steam making, which 

 in itself reflects intensified activity of 

 business. 



The clear indication in the sale of 

 coal, both for immediate shipment and 

 on contract, is that this is going to be 

 a year of extraordinary business activ- 

 ity, influenced only by the crop markot 

 reports. 



WASHINGTON NOTES.

devised by him for use on railroad 

 trains, on which he is seeking a patent. 



Florists and others located in Ana- 

 costia are receiving their water bills 

 for the coming year, due July 1. The 

 old minimum rate has been raised from 

 $4,50 to $5. Water meters are soon to 

 be supplied to this section of the city 

 and this will probably result in a high-w 

 er cost to the florists. 



William F. Gude spent several days 

 last week at Barnegat Bay, N. Y., as 

 the guest of John Westcott. 



Washington merchants are again fac- 

 ing an eight-hour work day for women, 

 a bill having been introduced into the 

 House. There is little doubt that some 

 such bill will be passed eventually. 

 Florists employ but few girls and they 

 will be replaced by men. 



A movement is now on foot to secure 

 the closing of all business houses from 

 the evening of July 3 to the follow- 

 ing Monday morning. It is hardly 

 probable that the florists will join in 

 the movement, because of the nature of 

 their business. C. L. L. 



Camden, N. Y. — Brow»-Bro8., who 

 purchased the florists' and nursery 

 business of Harvey B. Snow last month, 

 have already made a name for them- 

 selves in this town. Their decorj||||^(M|B 

 at the Klossner- Paddock wedding oBb 

 of the largest affairs of the season, won 

 much praise.
