 diculously low figures. One lot of 6-inch 

 Carterville lump has been offered as low 

 as $2.15 in Chicago, some of the cars of- 

 fered being in transit. "We quote f. o. b. 

 the mines for Chicago delivery: Mine- 

 run, 90 cents to $1; 1^4 -inch screenings, 

 40 cents to 50 cents; lump or egg, $1.50

 Its work without trouble and annoy-

USE OF CEMENT BLOCKS. 



Cement blocks make the very best 

 greenhouse wall, beirlg warm, dry and 

 strong. They require no paint or repairs, 

 very little grout for foundation, and will 

 last a lifetime if well made. As com- 

 pared to the ordinary board wall of two 



thicknesses of 1-inch lumber, with paper 

 between, the cost of the block wall is 

 about three times as much, but after the 

 wood wall has been Replaced by a new 

 one and both painted several times the 

 cost is nearly as much, and more or less 

 repairs will always be needed. The blocks 

 also make excellent sheds, boiler-houses 

 and office buildings, and at less cost than 

 lumber or brick for such purposes.
