SPLENDID HOLIDAY TRADE IN FORCE.— GOOD PRICES ALL ALONG THE LINE.— ROSES A BIT OFF IN STOCK.—NOTES OF THE TRADE. A change has come over the situation, the demand for everything, except prob- ably chrysanthemums, being greater than the supply. It looked like old times to see the buyers flocking in and out of the commission houses, looking up stock for the Thanksgiving day trade. Prices jumped, of course, and in some instances almost doubled. Beauties, which had to be packed to move at $3 per dozen last week, brought as high as $6, and no specials were offered below $5, and were scarce even at that. Carnations were in good demand and all the choice stock was sold at sight. Many of the rose growers appear to have their houses off crop at present, and this, coupled with a cool spell which shortened the crop as well, cut the usual supply almost in half There were plenty of chrysanthemums, however, and they were moved at fairly good prices, although a trifle lower than last year. In the case of some fine Chad- wicks and Batons, which brought $3 last year, the best price was $2. Both varieties are now very fine, as is also Maud Dean and Golden Wedding. Vio- lets are in good demand, all the best stock being ordered in advance. The chrysanthemum plants were in good demand and many wagon loads were disposed of. Pennock Brothers had a handsome Thanksgiving decoration in their win- dows the past week. Wheat and corn, as it came from the field, formed a back- ground, with vases of fine chrysanthe- mums in front. Two football games played on Thursday gave them a chance to use the college ribbons. The whole was very effective, and was a great credit to their artist, Baxter. S. S. Pennock is handling boxes of assorted orchids sold just as they come from the growers in the original package
