Arrivals of stock are inordinately light, and the de- mand is much less than usual for Jan- uary. So many reasons have of late been advanced fo' the small demand that it is hard to put forward a new one, but the real fact is that the public is not buying flowers. It may be fortunate rather than otherwise that the supply is not up to the mark, and this opinion is reflected in the prices of flowers, which are not unduly inflated. Roses are in exceedingly light supply, and while local demands are sufficiently covered, shipping orders are hard to fill. It seems ridiculous that when an order comes in by wire late in an afternoon for a couple of hundred or so roses, considerable shopping is necessary to turn them up, but such is the case in this great New York market. American Beauty is in sufficient supply to meet demands, but sales drag, with prices ad- vanced to $125 per hundred for best spe- cials. Hybrid teas are rather short in supply, but price increases are mainly confined to the higher grades of stock. Carnations are in fairly good supply, but move slowly. Cattleyas are in somewhat larger sup- ply than the demand will cover; conse- quently, prices have gone down to a range of $35 to $75 per hundred for cat- tleyas, with hybrids bringing $100. White lilies are plentiful, but move slowly. Lily of the valley is some what in oversupply, and top grades with difficulty are forced to the $6 per hun- dred mark. Bubrum lilies are in in- creased supply, but move fairly well at $8 to $15 per hundred. Violets are plentiful, but not in great demand. A good supply of fine quality sweet peas checks violet sales. Miscellaneous flowers are quite plenti- ful, and the list is augmented by the arrival of acacia, which moves at about $2 to $5 per bunch. Other items are iris, heliotrope, myosotis, gladioli, cal- en
