The market last week took a decided slump, there being an abundance in most items of stock, but a very slow demand. American Beauty roses and carnations were the two exceptions to this, the for- mer being very scarce and hard to get and the latter none too plentiful. Tea roses, on the other hand, were in full crop and few buyers appeared. Chrysan- themums, too, were a glut; not that they were coming in any faster than formerly, but they seemed to move very slowly. The violet situation was one that was felt as keenly as any, growers being for- tunate indeed if they received any re- turn whatever for their shipments. Business, according to some of the wholesale dealers, started out Monday morning comparatively brisk, but, ac- cording to others, the market seemed even duller than last week. But, how- ever this may be, the season is much behind what it should be for a normal year, and it is the general consensus of opinion that there has been a fall- ing off in the total value of sales ap- proximating 33 1-3 per cent from the corresponding period last year. The money situation is probably largely to blame. However the coming holiday is looked forward to for some improve- ment in trade conditions. American Beauty roses are the most active item in the list, holding up stiffly in price. Choice, extra long stems have advanced to $5 per dozen. Bride and Bridesmaid roses are in the midst of a big crop which will probably hold out until Thanksgiving. Richmond roses are in very fair supply and excellent in quali- ty. Kaiserin and Carnot are about through this season and growers mak- ing a specialty of them are beginning to dry them off preparatory to carry- ing them through the winter in a dor- mant condition.
