The coal market continues easy, but from the principal cities comes the word that cars on tracks are not so burden- some as they were a few weeks ago and that prices are, as a consequence, a little firmer. The coal trade is one of which "you never can tell" may well be said; the opposite of what is generally ex- pected frequently happens. Last autumn there was every indication of an ap- proaching fuel famine, but except for a sharp flurry at the time fires were started there has been exactly the re- verse of the conditions that were antici- pated. Look out for the year when it looks like an easy winter market; that will be the year everybody will get pinched. A PENNSYLVANIA KANOE. I have recently come into possession of a greenhouse or houses, 75x120 feet, with five ridges or gables. It is heated by steam, with one sixty horse-power boiler and one twenty-five horse-power boiler. The twenty-five horse-power one will heat the house except on a few of the coldest nights, when the ther- mometer is 20 or '6) degrees below zero. Now I am asking for advice on the heating of this bouse. It now has for piping one 2*^-'n*'h bead or feed pipe running the vidth ot the house, and 2-inch" flows rjnnin;^ the length of the house in each ridg'' and then re- duced to 1-inch coils and a 2-inch re- turn to the boiler. In several places in the coils the piping is reduced to %-inch, I suppose to save the cost in throttles or shut-off s. The system does ifOt heat satisfactorily. The larger boiler takes too touch fuel to run it and I am thinking of throwing put the whole system and putting in low pres-
