They are a very (Kit plant at this season. K. New York. DEMANO CONTINUES IJUIET. Business continued quiet in the wholesale district during the past week, with a light demand and. as a rule, low prices. American Beauty roses were not plentiful, and the best specials brought the rate of $50 per 100, but the special tea roses were very slow. Orchids, too. though not plenti- ful, were slow. The supply of carna- tions was not heavy and prices for gix)d stock kept around .$5 per 100. with $0—for some good Wards. Sweet peas continue to arrive in large quan- tities, but the bulk of the stock is short stemmed, and while there is al- ways a movement, it has been hard to clean up. Quantities of cut pansies are on the market, and to a consider- able extent, they are replacing violets in palls and other funeral work. There is a normal demand for lilies and callas for the same purpose. There have been quite a number of weddings since Easter, and although but few of the decorations have been very elaborate, they have helped to hold the market together. Busiress was fairly active May :i. The weather was springlike, and being with many a half holiday, conditions were favorable to counter trade.

In sweet peas, .stocks, snapdragons and various minor items, there is a heavy supply, everything moving slowly. The supply of carnations continues rather light, but is likely to be on the in- crease for the lemainder of the week. NOTES. J. H. Small & Sons had the deco- ration and bouquets for t
