THE COAL MABKET. 



Becent "reports from the coal men 

 have been increasingly cheerful, and 

 the cheerfulness is now based, they 

 say, not on future prospects or any 

 other vague uncertainties, but on ac- 

 tual, present conditions. They assert 

 positively that prices are stronger and 

 the volume of business larger. A 

 writer in the Black Diamond remarks 

 naively that "heretofore the reports 

 have been hopeful enough, but they 

 have not been quite convincing. This 

 week they are all quite genuine." The 

 heaviest demand is for screenings and 

 steam sizes, but the acceleration is 

 gradually spreading through all grades 

 of fuel. The increase in the sales, of 

 course, is believed to be due princi- 

 pally to the improvement in general 

 business. Industrial activity is no 

 longer limited mostly to the munition 

 factories, but is becoming evident in 

 nearly all departments of trade. 



It is stated, too, that the much dis- 

 cussed car shortage, predicted for the 

 last two months but scarcely believed 

 possible, has now assumed a real ex- 

 istence and is interfering particularly 

 "with the movement of the florists' fuel, 

 smokeless coal. Indeed, the journal al- 

 ready quoted says that "in smokeless 

 coal the car situation is the principal 

 factor. Keports from "West Virginia 

 are that the leading railroads there are 

 able to supply only fifty per cent of 

 the cars demanded. This is making a 

 definite shortage of coal in the east, 

 but especially in the west. If the de- 

 mand should by reason of a change in 

 the weather become normal for this 

 time of year, the coal would quickly 

 go to premium prices. ' ' At present, how- 

 ever, there is not much divergence 

 from the previously quoted prices at 

 the mines, $1.40 for mine-run and $2.25 

 for lump and egg. 



WASTEFUL OF HEAT. 



I shall be thankful if your expert on 

 heating will answer the following 

 queries: We have erected, from rem- 

 nants, a greenhouse 20x110, as shown 

 on the enclosed sketch. The house 

 runs east and west. The north wall is 

 brick and is three and one-half feet 

 high. The south side is three feet high 

 to the eave, with continuous sashes be- 

 tween the uprights. The east gable is 

 glass to within a foot of the ground; 

 the west gable is protected by a shed. 

 West from the greenhouse, a distance 

 of 188 feet from the east gable, is a
