New York is In the grip of one of the worst storms in its history and 

 the lumber business is at a standstill. Thirty-six hours of steady snow 

 have filled the streets and made carting impossible except on the most 

 prominent avenues. All outdoor work is tied up and building operations 

 deserted. Retail yards are busy clearing gangways and removing the 

 snow from the yards with no thought of making deliveries. The whole- 

 sale market is firm and a good number of orders are being placed for 

 future delivery. The trend of prices is upward but no material advances 

 are noted at this time. Prices, however, have been firm considering all' 

 conditions, and no complaint is heard from that score. The spring season 

 is drawing near and greater activity in building is sure to come with it, 

 and a consequent improved condition for hardwoods.

 present at the different business and social sessions held.
