The attempted assassination of President McKinley has had a disquieting effect on business in general and has reduced the attendance at the exposition, but now that there is every certainity of Mr. McKinlcy's speedy recovery, the attend- ance is again increasing. During the week there has been about as little trade as at any time during the summer. The weather is cool and stock is limited, except of asters. Gladioli are about the only thing seen in the florists' windows and they are largely used in funeral work, of which there has not been as much as usual lately. The grow- ers are busy, however, making active preparation for the fall. Colonel Cody, who is better known, perhaps, as Buffalo Bill, gave a luncheon to General Miles, at Alt Nurnberg. on the Midway, last week and Adams had the order for the decoration, a feature of which was an immense flag made of red and white gladioli. Smilax, roses and asparagus were used for the table. Wm. F. Kasting is at present receiving some very fine gladioli and asters.
