the lean-to are six feet in length, I 

 should run a 2V^-inch flow-pipe on the 

 outer wall of the greenhouse, and con- 

 nect it at the south end of the pit 

 with two 2-inch returns, to be carried 

 on the east wall. 



In case the bed is to be used for 

 the rooting of cuttings, for which bot- 

 tom heat would be needed, I should 

 place one of the above mentioned re- 

 turns six inches under the surface and 

 two feet from the east wall of the pit, 

 and run an additional return between 

 the first return and the back wall. 



THE COAL MABEET. 



If the correct impression is conveyed 

 by the latest reports, Opportunity is 

 DOW knocking at the door of the florist 

 who has any empty coal bins — knock- 

 ing loudly and peremptorily, and mut- 

 tering to himself, "This is my last call 

 for the season," That is to say. Op- 

 portunity appears to be knocking while 

 this is being written, but, being a hasty 

 and impatient old fellow, he may be 

 off in a huff before these words reach 

 the reader. Ue says that there is a 

 mysterious break or tumble in the price 

 of 'smokeless coal, though the prices of 

 other classes of coal are fairly firm and 

 in some cases are tending upward. 



The Black Diamond describes the sit- 

 uation thus: "The gossip in the Chi- 

 <:ago trade for this week has concerned 

 itself mainly with the status of smoke- 

 less coal prices. It became common 

 knowledge early in the week that quite 

 A lot of mine-run was being sold for 

 $1.25 and that some lump and egg was 

 being sold for $1.75, while quite a lot 

 of it was going at $2.00. Those who 

 are interested in this market are trying 

 to find the cause. ♦ • * Whatever 

 may be the cause, the fact remains that 

 «m^keless prices are off in Chicago for 

 the time being." The same authority 

 •ays again: "Smokeless coal has been 

 far from satisfactory. Whether it is 

 the result of a low price made on a big 

 tonnage in the east, or whether it is 

 the result of a local situation in Chi- 

 cago in August, it is now a fact that 

 the market is soft."
