Ba-sswood is in vefy active demand, as 

 is also maple, and a serious shortage in 

 suppl.v of Iioth kinds. Birch has shown 

 some yircater activity of late, particularly 

 ill lirsts anil seconds. There is a fair suji- 

 ply of common and cull grades in the mar- 

 ket, anil only a moderate demand. 



Other woods have chan,i.'ed but little ami 

 all are in good reipiest. 



NEW YOKK. 



There are saving clauses to everything, 

 .■mi' the I'.ililical quotation of the wind be- 

 ing tempered to the shorn lamb is so 

 often illustrated that it seems trivial to 

 point out how hardly any of the various 

 woods — or. rather, the sales of them — are 

 lieing seriously affected by the lack of 

 building in the metropolis. 



With regard to such lumber as short- 

 leaf pine, spruce, etc., instead of .going into 

 th( construction of buildings just now. 

 they are being used for trestle work, the 

 lireliminary work about new tunnels and 

 SI wers. (>tc.. while as for hardwood, there 

 is such a demand for it in the manufac- 

 ture of furniture, pianos, etc., that its ab- 

 sence for moldings, etc., while noticeable 

 naturally, is not nearly as fatal to the in- 

 dustry of disposing of it around tlie metro- 

 politan district as it might otherwise have 



llf (U. 



In fact. althou.gh hardwood dealers, both 

 wholesale and retail, report something of 

 a falling off in the demand from wliat it 

 has been, still the best season for that 

 kind of stock is yet to come. As for prices, 

 everybody knows how light the stock is at 

 tin sources of supply and how strongly it 

 will continue to l)e held for that reason. 



The sensational rise in poplar surprised 

 Ucal dealers, and it is lield that it was 

 hardly warranted here in the East. Still, 

 the new prices will probably be religiously 

 lived up to. 



For (piartered oak there is still a very 

 good demand to be noted at prices ranging 

 from .'J.SO to !f.S.j. 



Inch plain oak at ?43 to .S4.j is in fair 

 call, with the .supply only of reasonable 

 proportions. 



Ash is strong at $42 to $45: hasswood is 

 (luoted at .$42 to $44, and chestnut is in 

 good demand at $44 to $4(i. 



PHILADELPHIA. 



The high price of bimber and other 

 building materials and the fear that a 

 clash between labor and capital is immi- 

 nent has almost caused a total suspension 

 of Iniilding operations throughout the city. 

 As a result of the depression, liundreds of 

 draughtsmen, carpenters and laborers have 

 been thrown out of work, with little pros- 

 pect of a resnmplion. As a result of this 

 stagnation, there has been a decided slump 

 in the lumber market and the usual fall 

 boom has not yet materialized. The effect 

 has been felt by all of the dealers and 

 they do not see where the trouble is going 

 lo end. Despite this fact, the prices of 

 the various stocks have not wavered. Had 

 the suspension of business occurred at an.v 

 other time there might have been a decline 

 of i)rices. but as few of the dealers have 

 mucli wood in their yards, tlie stocks have 

 remained linn, lousiness is at a low ebb 

 and both the supply of and demand for 

 lumber is exceedingly light. 



A prominent dealer said recently in 

 sijeaking of the situation: "All material 

 has soared high in price with the demands 

 of labor, which has gradtiall.v become 

 almost jirohibitive. The present condition 

 has long been developing. No building 

 operations of importance were planned this 

 year. The contracts have been exhausted
