FLOWER SELLERS

SATISFIED.

• GOOD BUSINESS DONE IN D'AGUILAR STREET.

OLD TRADE RETURNS.

The flower sellers who formerly had their stands at the bottom of Wyndham Street but had to move to a new site which proved unsuit- able in On Lan Street, express aatisfaction with their latest pitch in D'Aguilar Street,

They moved to the latter place when it became apparent that On Lan Street was not a suitable site for the flower market: The stall holders complained of poor business owing to the fact that the stalls could not be seen from the central thoroughfare. The shopkeepers on On Lan Street also objected to the proximity of the stalls..

Talking with some of the flower sellers this morning a Telegraph reporter gathered that they had been agreeably surprised at the volume of business they transacted in D'Aguilar Street. They stated that there had only been a slight falling off in the demand as ex- perienced In Wyndham Street and they expect that trade will reach the former level when the new site of the lower market is more widely

known.

The flower stalls can now be seen from Queen's Road and this is a fact which gives the sellers no Bttle satisfaction.

Up to the present shopkeepers in D'Aguilar Street have not com- plained about the presence of the flower stalls. In fact, the shop- keepers prefer the latter to the vegetable and fruit stalls which formerly stood in the street but which have now been moved brigher up. There are twenty-four flower sellers at the new pitch, the same number as formerly in Wyndham Street.
