degrees with a boiler having a grate 

 three feet in diameter. Considering the 

 number of returns, we would prefer to 

 run a 3%-inch flow pipe to each house, 

 but if it is not convenient to do this 

 it will answer if one 4-inch main flow 

 pipe is used to supply both houses, 

 and from this a 3-inch flow pipe may 

 be run to each house. The returns 

 should be of the same size as the flows. 

 For each of the houses about 100 linear 

 feet of 21^-inch pipe and 600 feet of 

 2-inch pipe will be required. 



THE COAL MARKET. 



Among recent developments in the 

 coal trade, the event that surpassed 

 all others in interest and importance 

 was the signing, March 9, of the new 

 wage contract between the operators 

 and miners in the bituminous districts. 

 The new agreement is to take effect 

 April 1 and continue for two years. It 

 will add, according to the estimates of 

 the operators, between 7 and 9 cents a 

 ton to the cost of mining the fuel. This 

 peace treaty at the mines was instan- 

 taneous in its results, causing an un- 

 mistakable lull in activities by stopping 

 a large part of the buying for storage, 

 a kind of precautionary buying that

 Aside from the closing of the bituminous 

 conference, the only influential factor 

 in the control of the business is the con- 

 gestion of railroad traffic in the Atlan- 

 tic states, with the slight stimulus or 

 false strength thus imparted to the 

 eastern market.
