cent more heat units than a good quality 

 of Pittsburg coal, and this, in turn, 

 will be found to be worth about ten per 

 cent more than a good grade of Ohio 

 coal. As a rule, the Pocahontas coal 

 requires a considerably larger grate than 

 a quick burning Pittsburg coal, and 

 both will require more frequent attention 

 than the furnace size of hard coal. For 

 a small plant, under ordinary circum- 

 stances, it is generally found advisable 

 to use hard coal, even though it may not 

 contain more heat units. Even at the 

 prices mentioned, the hard coal should 

 probably be chosen where one does not 

 have more than 3,000 to 5,000 feet of 

 glass and the houses are heated by hot 

 water. Gas coke would be found even 

 more expensive than the coals mentioned.

The Market. 



The cut flower business showed little 

 improvement last week, some saying that 

 it was quite dull the greater part of the 

 week. There was a great improvement 

 in the wholesale market as far as stock 

 was concerned. Everything was plenti- 

 ful and a great deal of stock in roses, 

 carnations, small inumH and violets was 

 dumped, as the demand, both local and 

 shipping, was small. 



Tlie uptown florists bought consider- 

 able of the first-class stock for show 

 work in mums. Beauties and carnations. 

 The downtown florists bought a lot of 

 the second and short stem stock, which 

 sold at low prices, such as, roses 25 

 cents per dozen, carnations 15 cents, and 

 violets at 5 cents per bunch. 



There is now some fine stock on sale, 

 of all the seasonable flowers and plants, 

 and at prices within reach of anyone; 

 still few buyers were seen. There are 

 some nice chrysanthemum blooms of 

 Bonnaffon, both white and yellow; 

 plenty of all kinds of roses, with extra 

 long stems in Beauties, more than 

 enough carnations, and a glut of vio-
