The market, which had been on the ragged edge for a fortnight, be- gan to brighten and by Saturday's close everything was cleaned up fairly well. Monday's opening was as good. It is to be hoped that this strong de- mand will prove substantial, instead of being only a spurt. The shipping busi- ness is holding its own, especially on decorative greens. Roses are coming into a full crop. The Brides and Maids are the best seen in the market for some time. Killarney is just coming on crop and all the offer- ings are excellent. Eichmond sells up each day. Beauties are coming in bet- ter and are beginning to be a factor in the market. Carnations, with the exception of white, are in adequate supply. The extra demand for white for coloring purposes has so skinned the plants that it will be several days before the supply gets back to normal.

The Cincinnati Cut Flower Exchange has added a fine line of cut flower boxes to its list of supplies. Hardesty & Co. had quite a run on funeral work the latter part of last week. I regret to tell of the death of Mr
