The fore part of last week was only a rontinuation of what we have been hav- ins for several weeks past—stock in over- supply, demand poor and prices low. Wednesday saw a perceptible change in the atmosphere, Thursday we had a cold, drizzling rain; after that the weather turned cold, and Saturday the firet snow- flakes fell. Great was the gratitude ex- pressed by the growers for this hoped-for change. The one wish now is that the cold weather will continue. These conditions had a noticeable effect on the flower market, especially on roseg and carnations. In the first place, it shortened the rose crop, which was much appreciated by the wholesalers; the color of Bridesmaid is also much improved and the flowers bring better prices. Rich- mond is coming very plentifully but good. American Beauty shows a tendency to go oft" crop, but since chrysanthemums are the predominating flower now we shall not mind this in the least. Carnations, too, have dropped off considerably, and this caused a sharp advance in prices. Lady Bountifu
