However, relief came August 3, in the shape of a violent thunder storm accompanied by hail. There practically was no demand for stock of any variety until August 4, when the wholesalers cleaned up fairly well at good prices. The prices of orchids and longiflorum lilies advanced during the week. Good gigas sold for 75 cents and $1 each Saturday. The supply is limited, and so is the demand. Lilies ranged from $3 to $6 per hundred, while some of the selected stock sold at even higher prices. The effects of the heat were shown in the shipments of roses received dur- ing the week. Almost every rose that arrived was open. Thousands were sold at 25 and 50 cents per hundred, and other thousands found no buyers. The few good roses that arrived sold readily at satisfactory prices. American Beau- ties were scarce. Good flowers sold as high as $25 per hundred August 4. Good white roses were in demand, but the supply was short. There were few carnations in the market. Those that did arrive did not bring more than $1 per hundred. Val- ley was scarce and selected stock sold as high as $6 per hundred. The de- mand was light. The market already is flooded with asters, but the best flowers sold at $4 per hundred. The great mass of asters, however, brought only $1 and $ per hundred.
