Greenhouse Heating. 



SxJBSCRraERS are invited to write the 

 Editor of this Department with regard 

 to any details of greenhouse heating that 

 are not understood. But please do not 

 ask The fieview to make a choice of 

 apparatus for you. The greenhouse 

 heating equipment advertised in this 

 paper is, we believe, the best for the 

 trade to buy, and each article the best 

 in the special field of its adaptation. 



THE COAL MABKET. 



During the last three weeks the suc- 

 cessive reports of tlie coal market have 

 been increasingly encouraging, from the 

 coal men 's point of view. Though the 

 improvement from week to -week has 

 been so slight as to be perceptible only 

 on close scrutiny, the improvement after 

 a lapse of several weeks is evident 

 enough. Even now, however, the change 

 for the better is shown chiefly in the 

 increasing brightness of the prospects 

 rather than in an actual increase of 

 business; or, as the reporters tliem- 

 selves express the idea, the market is in 

 a much better "technical" position. 



The improvement of the coal busi- 

 ness, both present and prospective, both 

 actual and "technical," is largely due, 

 of course, to the more hopeful outlook 

 in the iron and steel trades and in other 

 manufacturing industries. "There is 

 definite improvement in general busi- 

 ness," it is said, "in several market 

 centers this week. Pittsburgh notes 

 that a number of iron and steel com- 

 panies are increasing production. Bir- 

 mingham, the secondary , steel center, 

 notes an improvement of about the 

 same kind. Trade development there 

 has been sufficient to warrant coal com- 

 panies in' increasing both production 

 and development work. Indianapolis 

 also savs that agricultural implement 

 works through Indiana intend to start
