BUSINESS IS BRISK IN THE TENNESSEE TOWN.—WEDDINGS NUMEROUS. —STATE OF SUPPLY.—JOYS LOSE A STREET EXHIBIT BY FIRE. The early fall days have produced a marked improvement both in the volume of trade and in the quality of flowers.

Bridesmaids, Brides and Kaiserins are much larger in size than a few weeks ago and many good Beauties are being cut. The latter are only bring ?ing medium prices, hardly up to the quality given.

The little granddaughter of Mrs C. A. Birn, who has a flower store on Church street, captured first prize in the children's flower parade at the street fair. M. C. DORRIS. Portland, Mb.—Jas.
