CreenhoBse Heating. 



Subscribers 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 ap- 

 paratus 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 OOAL MABKET. 



Reporters of conditions in the fuel 

 market are announcing, fn prominent 

 headlines, that there is a likelihood of 

 both a coal shortage and a car shortage 

 in the near future, because the neces- 

 sary purchasing by American users 

 has been long delayed and exports are 

 increasing. From this it naturally fol- 

 lows, they say, that * ' the profl|icers are 

 in control and will soon be able to dic- 

 tate prices." 



The mine operators, throughout the 

 season, have been restricting the out- 

 put in order to control the market. The 

 buyers meanwhile have postponed or- 

 dering, in the hope that the situation 

 would change and prices would tumble. 

 In the west, it is said, not more than 

 twenty-five per cent of the normal quan- 

 tity of coal has been placed in storage. 

 Exports at present are estimated to be 

 more than 100 per cent above normal. 

 It is predicted, therefore, that before 

 long the burden imposed upon both 

 mines and railroads will be heavier 

 than can be borne. 



Such is the coal men's view of the 

 general situation throughout the coun- 

 try. The Chicago correspondent for 

 the Black Diamond expresses similar 

 opinions. "Technically the market is 

 strong," he says, "though actual buy- 

 ing is still below normal. As one of 

 the operators expressed it, about the 

 only domestic business that has been 

 done this summer has been the selling 

 of coal to schools and the public utili- 

 ties companies. Naturally, with the 

 storage movement and the regular fall 

 buying to be taken care of in the next 

 two and a half months, and with trans- 

 portation difficulties disturbing, the 

 market is exceptionally strong, with the 

 operators in command of the situation. 



"The smokeless situation has not 

 changed much in the last week. Some 

 differences, mainly among the oper- 

 ators, over the question of policy, have 

 disturbed prices a little in Chicago on

The Market. 



Business last week was quiet. There 

 were a number of funerals and wed- 

 dings that provided work for some of 

 the florists. Sweet peas are plentiful, 

 and can be had for 20 and 25 cents per 

 hundred. Dahlias are beginning to ar- 

 rive, and they are good. Roses are 

 abundant. 



Various Notes. 



John W. Beagle has bought two lots 

 and a greenhouse from the receivers of 

 Ira G. Marvin, of Wilkes-Barre, Pa.,
