Clarence U. Liggit's business trip ex- tended as far south as Richmond. He was cordially received. Phil. BOSTON. The Market. From the growers' point of view, Thanksgiving business was satisfactory. Prices were high on all flowers and practically everything sold up clean. Ketailers were in a less fortunate posi- tion, as the extrejncly high prices mili- tated against good business and, while they had large sales, they would have been much larger if flowers had been less costly. Roses made higher prices than ever before known here for Thanks- giving. Current quotations were at the rate of $1 per inch of stem per hun- dred. Carnations sold splendidly. All the best flowers averaged $8 per hun- dred, with some specials higher. The lowest average of other grades was $6 per hundred. There was a shortage of violets, good singles easily realizing $2 per hundred and doubles $ to $2. Chrysanthemums never sold so well and they brought double last year's prices, Bonnaffon being the greatest seller. Yellow marguerites sold at from $1 to $4 per hundred and there was an ex- cellent call for pansies, snapdragon, callas, lilies, stevia and other flowers. Among the choicer offerings, cattleyas were plentiful and sold up to $75 per hundred. There was a moderate call for plants. Since Thanksgiving prices have de- clined, but there is little surplus stock arriving. Roses sell for the most part at $4 to $16 per hundred; carnations, $4 to $6. Violets continue scarce and singles have made as high as $ per hundred. Chrysanthemums are becom- ing fewer and some of the blooms show signs of old age. Prices continue good, however. A few sweet p?as are seen and pansies are of excellent quality. Stevia is abundant and a few Paper Whites are seen. Callas are selling re- markably well. Some fine bouvar
