Greenhouse Heating. 



SUBSCBIBEBS 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 Beview 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. 



A real awakening, a real acceleration 

 of the market! Such is the unwonted, 

 unfamiliar announcement that comes 

 from the coal men now, after weeks of 

 monotonous, unvarying tales of woe 

 and stagnation in trade. Such a re- 

 port is real news, for it is something 

 new. It is not a strong, decided im- 

 provement in business, the authorities 

 say, but it is a genuine improvement 

 as far as it goes. The sort of improve- 

 ment to which we have recently been 

 accustomed has been described as 

 merely "technical" or "sentimental" 

 or "psychological," and has consisted 

 mostly of vague and doubtful signs of 

 possible future betterment. The pres- 

 ent improvement, on the other hand, 

 consists of an actual though only 

 slight increase in sales, with inquiries 

 which betoken a greater increase soon. 

 Even inquiries have lately been few 

 and far between; now they are begin- 

 ning to arrive, the forerunners of the 

 business revival. 



Of course, inquiries are not equiva- 

 lent to orders, but in this case almost 

 every inquiry is an indication that an 

 order will soon be on its way to some 

 dealer — if not to Smith the Coal Man, 

 then to the Jones Coal Co. or some 

 other concern. In the marketing of 

 staple commodities, such as coal, a 

 large proportion of the inquiries ma- 

 terialize in business for somebody; .the

contract that does not go to one firm 

 must inevitably go to some other firm, 

 and so, in any case, the volume of busi- 

 ness is maintained. There is at least 

 room to hope, then, that much of the 

 needed coal will vet be moved before 



winter approaches dangerously near. 

 As to smokeless coal, of course the 

 higher price in August has helped to 

 push business in the last week of July.
