There bas been several heavy falls of snow with stiff freezing at nights. As a consequence there is a decided short- age in the visible supply of stock. Some stock in the way of cut flowers is arriving from Philadelphia, but much of it shows evidence of being shop-worn. The price of carnations has taken a jump to from 5 to 8 cents, wholesale, and at that many of them are very poor. Any grower who can ship fresh carnations to this city will get good value.
