To show something of the. varying conditions in this marl^et, it may be stated that on Saturday, September 20, tliere was more stock than could be used, nearly every stock was a drug on the market. On Saturday, October 3, in the wholesale district, when boxes were opened, the buyers were grouped around them like flies around a sugar box. As one veteran buyer expressed It: "Some of these fellows would fight, lie and steal to get stock this morn- ; This situation was brought about by unusual conditions. As men- tioned in previous notes, there were several days of unseasonable heat, which in the greenhouses, brought out prematurely a great amount of stock. With a sudden change to very cool weather there was a consequent re- action, and the supply of greenhouse stock greatly fell oif. The heat and dry weather has practically put dahlias and other outdoor stock out of the run- ning. It was for the cheaper grades that there was the heaviest demand, but buyers had to take what they could get, and as a consequence near- ly every salable stock advanced in price. Special American Beauty roses sold up to $ per 100; special teas to. .$8 and in some instances .$10 per 100; lilies £b $8 and $10 per 100; carnations to $3 and .$4 per 100; chrysanthemums, which were not plentiful, to $ and $ per dozen. This is but the record of a day and may not continue, but it does not appear that calamity is bearing very heavily on this city. Octobe
