Feb. 22^ St. A week of continuous cold weather has kept the market in a healthy state, and as a result stock has been selling well right along. Shipping orders have been more numerous also, and have helped to keep things going. Lilac has made its appearance in fair quantity, and seems to take fairly well; quite a number of tulips also have been on the market,but arenot selling any too freely. The last meeting of the bowling teams was well attendedand wasquiteexciting; the high record of 23S for this series was twice broken, Mr. Beyer rolling 248. and afterwards Jules Benecke made 257. From present indications it appears as though Mr. Benecke will capture both the medal for highest individual score, and also for highest average. Dr. Helwig, captain of team No. 2, electrified the bojs by making a score of 87 for a full game, and it will be some time before he hears the last of the matter. Team No. 2 in its third game rolled a total of 1274 pins which is the record to date. R. F. T. Baltimore.

Trade in flowers and house plants con- tinues fair. To be sure, the heaviest de- mand in flowers is for funeral work, as people die right along in I^nt as well as at other seasons, but a very nice little percentage comes from our Jewish citi- zens, who marry and arc given in mar- riage regardless of Chiistian fast days, and who, with all their supposed close- ness, are very fond of flowers. .Mr. M. A. Hantske's new store. No. 1414 North Charles, near Union Depot, is a great improvement on the old one. Mr. John Wiedcy is reported as being finite scrioiislv ill. Mack. For Sale. •
