.\ccording to statistics collected by the Nashville Lumbermen's Club, 

 the hardwood business of this city holds up well to the mark of past 

 years. The committee of business men working to secure one of the 

 regional reserve banks for Nashville under the new currency law has 

 been gathering general data as to the financial and commercial affairs of 

 Nashville, and requested the Lumbermen's Club to furnish an estimate 

 of the volume of hardwood lumber business handled annually. The 

 statistics committee of the club reported estimating the annual business 

 at .$10,000,000, divided as follows: Pennsylvania, twenty per cent; New 

 York, thirty per cent; New England, twenty per cent; Illinois, ten per 

 cent ; west and south, twenty per cent. 



Charles M. Morford, president of the Nashville Lumbermen's Club, 

 Capt. Wm. Farris and T. A. Washington have been named delegates to

 Dealers' Association at Buffalo, March 4-5. 



Liberal shipments of cedar posts have been arriving from points on 

 the upper Cumberland river, being moved by water. Capt. Oeo. Doubleday. 

 a local steamboat man, said the supply of cedar in the upper Cumberland 

 river is surprising. Middle Tennessee has been famous in the production 

 of red cedar, and it has been feared that operations would clean up the 

 supply. Reports that have been received from important cedar sections 

 show that there is a second growth of cedar in some fifteen or twenty 

 years that is very gratifying. 



The Nashville Boar<i of Trade and (;ommercial Club, leading business 

 organizations, will soon be consolidated. The plans for consolidation are 

 being perfected. Up to last week 1.900 members had been enrolled for the 

 consolidation, and it is expected that several hundred more members 

 will be secured. The final plans are to bring all of the commercial or- 

 ganizations in the city into afflli.ttion. The Nashville Lumbermen's Club 

 has voted in favor of alBllation. It is believed that ultimately all of 

 the commercial bodies will have erected a modern skyscraper in the central 

 part of the city, and get under one roof. 



The Tellico River Lumber Company announces plans to have rebuilt 

 its big plant at Tellico. Tenn. The plant was destroyed by fire some 

 time ago, causing a loss of about $150,000. The new plant of the com- 

 pany will have a daily capacity of 130.000 feet of lumber. The company 

 is one of the biggest lumber concerns in east Tennessee.

 stock of $50,000. has been granted charter by the secretary of state,
