There is nothing especially active about the market as yet, although there was some extra work for Thanksgiving. Pinks and violets are still scarce and the shortage on the latter flower is quite marked. Considerable comment has been occa- sioned over the action of a prominent local florist in selling flowers, at low rates to a big butcher shop in town, which persists in antagonizing the florists. M. M. Washington. GOOD SUPPLIES OF STOCK FOR THE THANKSGIVING DEMAND.—A GOOD DECO- RATION. Most of the store windows were very attractively decorated for Thanksgiving, for everyone anticipated a fine trade. Roses and carnations were very good, and plentiful. Some oi the finer chrysan- themums are coming in. Violets are very scarce and poor. A. Gnde & Bro. are bringing in a number of fine poinset- tias. Z. D. Biackistone had a fine deco- ration for the Masonic visitation at the Temple. The large hall was decorated with southern smilax, the stage banked with palms and ferns and a number of vases and stands of fine chrysanthemums were used. From the center of the stage was suspended a large design of cape flowers in shaoe of a keystone and studded with electric lights. In the win- dows were suspended large plaques of chrysanthemums. P.
