Greenhouse Heating. 



SuBSCRiBEBS are invited to write the 

 Editor of this Department with regard 

 to smj details of greenhouse heating that 

 are not understood. But please do not. 

 ask The Review to make a choice of 

 apparatus for you. The greenhouse 

 beating equipment advertised in this 

 paper is, we believe, the best for the 

 rrade to buy, and each article the best 

 in the special field of its adaptation. 



THE COAL MARKET. 



Although it is generally agreed that 

 the European war, if it continues as 

 long as is expected, will sooner or 

 later create a heavy demand for Amer- 

 ican coal and even open entirely new 

 markets for it, the present effects of 

 the war are the reverse of beneficial, 

 on account of the disturbance or com- 

 plete interruption of transportation. 

 ' ' Regardless of improved prospects, ' ' 

 says a leading authority in the coal 

 trade, "our export trade has been com- 

 pletely demoralized. At one eastern 

 port 200,000 tons of coal have accumu- 

 lated and other coal is in transit. Car- 

 rying capacity sufficient to take this 

 coal is en route to these ports, but 

 vessels are under instructions to tie up 

 until greater safety of navigation is 

 assured. ' ' 



On the other hand, it is stated that 

 South America "is sending inquiries 

 for enough coal to tide it over the pe- 

 riod of the European war. A volume 

 of business estimated at more than 

 5,000,000 tons per year is definitely 

 headed toward this country. Purchas- 

 ers who have an option of buying either 

 from the United States or from Aus- 

 tralia and Japan are electing to buy 

 in the United States. If they bought 

 from Australia or Japan the coal would 

 be subject to seizure, because both are 

 allied with England. It is said that 

 .ships will «tart at once from Rio de

.Janeiro for the United States to carry 

 back" coal. ' ' 



Speaking particularly of the florists' 

 staple fuel, smokeless coal, a Chicago 

 writer for a prominent coal journal 

 says: "Interest in the war has cen- 

 tered in the smokeless coal field. West 

 Virginia has a large percentage of for- 

 eign workers, most of whom have but 

 recently arrived. If transportation 

 conditions are restored to anything like 

 normal, a considerable percentage of 

 these workers will leave for Europe. 



There is grave doubt, however, that 

 transportation facilities will be avail- 

 able to carry these men home. On the 

 other hand, there has been a likelihood 

 of the sale of smokeless coal to foreign 

 navies. Some inquiries have been re- 

 ceived in the east, but the absence of 

 transportation prevented sales. This 

 latter situation is naturally expected 

 to be overcome before long. Mean- 

 while there is uncertainty in the west- 

 ern territory as to how much coal will 

 be available. It might easily happen
