. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. 66 The American Florist. Aug. b. New York. TRADE FAIXINO 0F1\ Mai-kot comUtioiis for the past -week were not (piite as good as those of the previous one. The long drought is now becomiiiK a serious menace in tliis sec- tion, all outdoor stock is suffering se- verelv and if we do not get rain pretty soon "there will be little stock left to ship to the city. Roses are coming in lighter every day and in very poor con- dition, and although scarcer than last week, are not bringing as much money, there being no demand for them. A few carnations are coming in, but so poor they are hardly wortli mention- ing. Asters can be had at buyers' prices and are very poor, while gladioli aj;e bringinr from 50 cents to ^2 per 100. A few chrysanthemums have been noticed already but are quite small yet. American Beauties, like other roses, are arriving in smaller quantities every day, while prices are not as high as the previous week. Orchids remain about the same, bringing from 35 to 05 cents each and in rare cases for exceptionally good ones 75 cents, The Intense heat and long drought seems to have caused a general stagna- tion in the market particularly the last few days which is even worse than is to be expected at this season of the year.

R. with a stop of about one hour at Glen Summit Springs, ?where as guests of the transportation committee a full course dinner will be served at the hotel.
