Greenhouse Heating. 



Subscribers are invited to write the 

 Editor of thia Department with regard to 

 any details of greenhouse heating that 

 are not understood. But please do not 

 ask The Review to make a choice of ap- 

 paratus for you. The greenhouse heating 

 equipment advertised in this paper is, we 

 lielieve, the best for the trade to buy, 

 and eflch article the best in the special 

 field of its adaptation. 



THE COAL MARKET. 



The week 's rej)orts from the coal trade 

 may be summarized by the paradoxical 

 statement that the market is both weak 

 and strong; it is weak in spot business, 

 but strong in the closing of contracts. 

 On the whole, the situation is considered 

 encouraging to the coal dealers, for the 

 reason that the dullness in spot trade at 

 this season is an annual condition au-l 

 is decidedly temporary, being usually 

 limited to about six weeks, while the 

 prices si>ecified in the contracts are in 

 Tnost instances appreciably higher than 

 they were a year ago. Of course the 

 .cost of operating the mines has been in- 

 ci eased by the concessions to the miners 

 in the new wage agreement, but this 

 extra cost seems to be amply provided 

 for — and "then some" — in fixing tlie 

 prices of fuel. It is stated, also, that 

 present contract prices are the lowest 

 that are likely to be known this year; 

 Die entire current of events, we are told, 

 has a tendency to force prices upward. 



As to the florists' favorite fuel, smoke- 

 less coal, the situation is descrilied as 

 "somewhat mixed." While the new cir- 

 cular price of mine-run. .tl..'?") f. o. b. the 

 mines and $M.40 f. o. b. Chicago, is gen- 

 erally maintained, a surplus of lump coal 

 has had the efTect in some cases of de- 

 pressing the price of mine-run. Perhaps 

 these circumstances provide a fleeting 

 opportunity for florists. 



The discouraging status of the anthra- 

 cite conference in New York, at this 

 writing, has a strong indirect influence 

 on bituminous conditions. "Apparent- 

 ly, ' ' says a report, ' ' a deadlock in the 

 controversy has been reached, and a 

 strike May 1 seems to be imminent."

The Market. 



The long looked for Piaster rush has 

 come and gone, leaving behind it mem- 

 ories that are not easily forgotten. The 

 uptown stores worked practically night 

 and day the whole of last week in prep-

aration for the event, which was highly 

 successful. It had been hinted that 

 stock would be scarce, but there was 

 enough for all and the quality was ex- 

 tremely good. A large business was 

 done in corsages, and sweet peas, vio- 

 lets and roses were used extensively in 

 these. A mammoth business was done 

 in plants of all descriptions, and the 

 baskets this year were artistic and at- 

 tractive. Each store was ablaze with 

 a mass of color. 



The weather during the latter part 

 of the week was not bright and Satur- 

 day was somewhat stormy. Neverthe- 

 less, deliveries were gotten out nicely 

 and in good shape. Sunday was gloomy. 

 In cut flowers daily shipments were 

 quite heavy and in good condition. 

 Roses were fine and sold well, especially 

 the long-stemmed ones. Carnations were 

 good and sold well at Easter prices.
