w HEN a man sUrts out lo put up a new range, there are manj serious things to consider. The most senous of them .s per- haps just how much of your various fnenils advnce to take. Most of it is contradictory. Some say Iron Frame houses are the on°y thing to build. Others, that our Half Iron Frame houses .s jus aseood for the ,nonev.

The Christmas spirit is in the air and everywhere one sees preparations for the great holiday. As is usually the case at this time, business has been rather quiet for the last week. In fact it is acknowledged by some of the oldest dealers that if business was good there would be a scarcity of stock, for stock is not over-plentiful. Gardenias are scarce and good ones are whole- saling at $5 per dozen and upward. Orchids of the Cattleya trianae variety wholesale at from $7 to $!> a dozen. While rose prices have been creepmg up, they have not yet reached a very high figure, since 40 and HO cents each is but a reasonable price for American Beauties at this season. Some fine stock of Mrs. Taft and Milady is on the market and wholesales at from $io to $25 for Taft and $25 to $35 for Milady. Short and medium rose stock moves faster than the specials. Car- nations are moving fairly well at an average of $5. There is a fair supply of liUes and lily of the valley and the prices are not high. Violets are moving fairly well, as they should, for the past week was emphatically "vio- let weather." That is, it was mild enough to wear them. However, vio- lets are used up in various ways and orchids, valley, gardenias and sweet peas are supplanting them in corsage bouquets. Monday. December IG.—There is a hopeful feeling in the wholesale dis- trict today. The supply of stock is not heavy and is cleaning up well. Weather conditions are ideal, clear and bracing. Carnations, which are not over plenti- ful, show an upward tendency for spe- cial and fancy stock, the fancies touch- ing 8 cents. Although as previously stated, there has been an upward ten- dency in gardenias and orchids, it does not now appear that they will go higher. NOTES.
