THE AMERICAN HARDWOOD CON- 

 TRACT FORM. 



A meeting of the American Hardwood 

 Committee of the Timber Trade Federa- 

 tion was held at the London Chamber of 

 Commerce on Tuesday last, to further con- 

 sider the proposed American hardwood 

 contract form, Mr. E. G. Leary presiding. 

 The committee discussed the draft forms 

 (a) as revised at the meeting of July 12, 

 1904; (b) as further modified by the sub- 

 committee, after considering the solicitors' 

 report thereon; (c) and an alternative 

 form suggested by the National Lumber 

 Exporters' Association of the United 

 States, from which a letter dated August 

 24 was read, asking that before any form 

 •was finally agreed to. the association, as 

 representing shippers in America, should 

 have an opportunity of making its recom- 

 mendations. The three forms having been 

 discussed at considerable length, a re- 

 vised form, embodying the final conclu- 

 sions of the committee, was adopted, for 

 submission to a general meeting of the 

 trade, under the auspices of the Hardwood 

 Section of the Federation. The committee 

 also approved of certain rules of procedure 

 in arbitration arising out of the new con- 

 tract form, which, it was suggested, should 

 be printed on the back of the document 

 for the information of parties concerned. 

 Due notice will be given of the day and 

 hour of the general meeting, at which it 

 is intended to discuss not only the revised 

 contract form, but some suggested modi- 

 fications in the existing rules in force in 

 the London Docks for the measurement 

 of American sawn lumber and sawn ni.v 

 hogany, with the object of bringing them 

 into complete harmony with the practice 

 in the United States; certain proposals as 

 to the measurement of round and wancy 

 edged legs; and a report from the sub- 

 committee on the measurement of teak.—

The whole of the plant of the Mobile

 along with the wharves in front of the 

 company's property.
