merce Commission have failed to regulate the difficulty and it Is feared 

 that more of them will have to be given. 



Taylor & Crate have filed buildlnK plans for an office structure to be 

 erected at their new yard on Elmwood avenue at a cost of ?16,000. This 

 will probably be the most complete office building at any of the Buffalo 

 yards. It will have a restaurant in connection for use of the employes. 

 Preparations are now being made for receiving lumber at the yard and a 

 good deal of grading is being done and the numerous teams and steam 

 rollers at work give the place a decidedly busy appearance. 



The will of Marcus M. Darr, a prominent liimborman of this city and 

 Tonawanda, left .? J 5,000 to the First Presbyterian Church of BulTalo and 

 $10,000 to the Homeopathic hospital. The Uahnemann medical college 

 and hospital at Philadelphia receive $40,000.

 purchases of hardwoods for next season for T. Sullivan & Co. The yard

 the lake district and finds It necessary to ship it by rail on account of 

 the high lake freight rates.

 report a fairly good demand for building lumber, though hardwood trade 

 has fallen off from some weeks ago. 



The Hugh McLean Lumber Company reports that quartered oak and 

 ash are among the leading woods at present. Plain oak Is doing fairly 

 well, but is not as active as formerly. 



Blakeslec, Perrin & Darling state that the supply of labor is a little 

 more plentiful at present, though not up to normal. The hardwood mar- 

 ket is showing an advancing tendency. 



K. D. McLean is back from a western trip of about three weeks. The 

 McLean Mahogany and Cedar Company reports mahogany holding firm. 



The Standard Hardwood Lumber Company is selling a pood stock of 

 gum this month, though oak and chestnut are the leaders. Some scarcity 

 of labor is experienced and lumber comes in slowly because of car short- 

 age.

 steady demand. Not much difficulty has been experienced in getting 

 cars as yet in this market.

 hardwoods, though it is stated that business has not been up to expec- 

 tations during the past few weeks, after a busy summer season. 



The National Lumber Company finds a pretty good flooring trade, 

 mostly In maple, this month. Shipments arc reported coming in very 

 slowly from the mills and prices are strong. 



The Buffalo Hardwood Lumber Company states that trade has shown 

 improvement recently. The yard is making a specialty of birch, which 

 is in about normal denmnci at this time.
