There cannot be said to be any ma- terial increase in the volume of busi- ness, but the cool weather of the past week was a great relief and created a better feeling- in the trade. While there is an abundance of stock on the market that is in quality below the average, igood stock is scarce.

Asters were arriv- ing in considerable volume and of fair quality when the violent storms of July 31, cut and beat down much of the crop intended for this market. There is a fair supply of gladioli, but for funeral work, now the main asset, they are not as useful as the asters. The supply of orchids, lilies and lily of the valley continues light. Zinnias, cut hydrangeas and other minor stocks continue to arrive in fair quantity, but are not particularly useful.

Short roses that two weeks ago went begging at . cents and .$1 per 100 are now selling at $3 per lOQ and in some wholesale stores the selling price is $1.
