Prompt ehipment. E. F. WINTERSON CO^ L. D. Phone Central 6004, 166 N. Wabash Ave^ Chicago, IlL BOSTON. The Market. There is an improvea tone in the mar- ket this week. Summer is waning, vaca- tionists are coming home, nights are growing cooler, outdoor flowers are grad- ually passing and we need but a good rain storm or a light frost to cause a decided boom in prices for indoor flow- ers. Already there is a noticeable im- provement in retail trade and sales are fully as good as they were a year ago. Factories are gradually getting back to normal production, money rates are easier and the general outlook for fall trade is encouraging. Gladioli, which have for many weeks glutted the markets, are rapidly pass- ing. Supplies are much reduced and spikes are smaller. Prices show an im- provement over a week ago. There are still too many asters, especially of the inferior type, and they also are nearing the end of their tether. Good flowers bring $2 to $3 per hundred, others $3 to $4 per thousand. The present month will see the passing of most of the aster crop. Other outdoor flowers, like cos- mos, larkspur, zinnias, hunnemannias, everlastings, bachelor's buttons, etc., are a slow sale. Dahlias are good and sell in a moderate way. Clematis panicu- lata is offered, but is only good when freshly cut. For wedding decorations it proves popular. Chrysanthemums are mainly yellow. They sell well. Carnations continue short-stemmed and small and buyers are not eager for them. Their time is com- ing soon, however. Roses have stiffened a little, and, thanks to the cooler nights, are of improved quality. Columbia re- mains the leader. There are a few longi- florum lilies, for which $20 to $25 is asked. Buyers are scarce. A few col- ored spcciosums also come in. A few Cattleya labiata
