SCHWAKE & New York. MARKET CONDITIONS SHOW IMPROVEMENT. Although the market has been quiet during the past week there was less talk of a surplus than formerly. Saturday, July 24, there was nearer to a scarcity of good stock than had been seen for some time. There had been a falling off in the supply of cattlyea orchids and we believe there were several sales of C. gigas that came near the dollar mark. All good roses, including American Beauties were rather scarce. In many ranges a con- siderable amount of stock has been cut back and dried off and at the best this is not the time of year to expect many- good roses. The gladioli and asters are now prominent features on the market and some very good stock of both has been noted. The asters are now saleable and useful as the carna- tions are out. Lilies and lily of the valley remain at about the same figures. July 26.—The market has opened under fair conditions, for the season. There is no surplus of orchids or roses ?and the tendency is upward, for the best stock, American Beauties, spe- cial, being $25 per 100, with $30 in some instances as an asking price. Cattleya gigas are worth $40 and $50 per 100 with a prospect of higher prices. Gladioli, asters and sweet peas are plentiful and cheap. NOTES.
