Greenhouse Heating. 



Subscribers are invited to write the 

 Editor of this Department with regard to 

 any details of greenhouse heating that 

 are not understood. But please do not 

 ask The Review to make a choice of ap- 

 paratus for you. The greenhouse heating 

 equipment advertised in this paper is, we 

 believe, the best for the trade to buy, 

 and each article the best in the special 

 field of its adaptation. 



THE FUEL MARKET. 



The principal subject of conversation 

 in the coal trade is the strength of the 

 market for bituminous fuel; season 

 considered, it is unprecedented in re- 

 cent years, setting aside, of course, 

 periods of artificial strength resulting 

 from labor troubles. May having 

 passed without the usual irregularity in 

 prices, producers are taking a firmer 

 stand, so that, if no general advance 

 has occurred, it can be said that the 

 general tendency is upward. The trade 

 m general now looks for a fairly firm 

 market all summer, with the possibility 

 of an advance in contract prices should 

 the market for coal on track fail to 

 develop the usual summer chills and 

 fevers. At Chicago the offerings of 

 "West Virginia smokeless coals, New 

 Eiver and Pocahontas continue at $1.25 

 at the mouth of the mine, for mine 

 run, plus the freight, which is $2.10 to 

 Chicago. 



In the east, where anthracite is used 

 in quantity, in the steam sizes buck- 

 wheat is easy, rice is scarce and barley 

 is hard to buy, except for mine ship-

NOTICE THIS— We will write you a "positive Kuarantee" that Panther 

 Coal has every alngle desirable feature 

 of the very best Pocabontas.except that It 

 makes a little more smoke. It looks like 

 Pocahontas, but Is not so soft. Burns 

 like it; just as little ash; no clinkers: 

 lasts as long; Just as Intense beat.

ment. No low prices are heard of ex- 

 cept in the case of some poor buck- 

 wheat, and in general it can be said 

 that the steam trade is good. Pea is 

 easy, but is not being shipped in ex- 

 cessive quantities. 



WAVINO THE RED FLAG. 



One of the coal trade papers that 

 usually is quoted as an authority is 



greatly perturbed because the trade is 

 not sufiiciently alarmed over the poS' 

 sibilities of a labor war in the New 

 Eiver field in West Virginia. The con- 

 clusion of one of its editorials on the 

 subject may be of interest to green- 

 house owners who depend on the smoke- 

 less coals:

 River operators retired completely from
