 the Falls from this city is twenty-two miles, which makes the great 

 pleasure resort very accessible. A number of meetings of the committees 

 have been hold and arrangement are gradually being made for the 

 entertainment and reception of visitors, though it is too early yet for 

 announcement of details as to program. From Maj. John S. Noyes, who 

 is a member of the entertainment committee, as well as the dean of 

 Huffalo lumbermen, down to the youngest committeeman, everybody is 

 anticipating a very interesting and profitable convention. The attendance 

 Is expected to reach at least 600 and it Is hoped that it may exceed that 

 number by a hundred or two.

 weeks, looking over the lumber situation and calling at the mills of the 

 Buffalo Hardwood Lumber Company. 



Anthony Miller reports the hardwood trade as a little slow this month. 

 The yard has been selling a fair amount of maple. Poplar is reported

 ness this month, as trade has pi.'iked up considerably within the past two 

 weeks, largely in maple and oak. 



Manager H. L. .\bbott of the .Atlantic Lumber Company, will remove his 

 office on May 1 to the Scatcherd & .Son yard, where he has now about 

 0,000,000 feet of hardwoods.

 amount of stock at St. Bernard, near Cincinnati, and the company's 

 hardwood supply there is about three-fourths as large a.= the BuSfalo 

 stock. 



C. C. Slaght is preparing to start up his sawmill at Genesee, Pa., early 

 this month and at Coudersport a little later on. He has considerable

•< PHILADELPHIA > 



E, M. Bechtel. sales manager for William Whitmer and Sons, Inc., 

 reports a liberal number of inquiries resulting in good orders. In some 

 lines trading is still sluggish but the average business has been good. 

 Hardwoods especially keep in good shape. 



Frederick S. Underbill of Wistar, Underbill & Nixon, does not com- 

 plain of greatly relaxed trading. Some lines are fairly active, others a 

 little slow, but the total averages up very well. He does not see any 

 obstacle to a near substantial livening up of business. R. Wyatt Wistar 

 is on a tour of the southern lumber fields. 



Daniel B. Curll of the D. B. Curll Lumber Company, reports satis- 

 factory trading. The portable mills are busy getting out stuff, and so far 

 the company has been able to keep its stock from accumulating. 



A. J. Levy of the Forest Lumber Company, says inquiries have been 

 multiplying of late, with business outlook encouraging. He has no 

 doubt but increased buying will follow seasonable weather. F. X. Diebold, 

 president, is on a visit to the mill at Kounarock. Va. On his return he 

 will make a tour of some of the mill districts for information on the 

 stock situation. 



G. C. Burkholder of the J. W. Turnbull Lumber Company, states that 

 .T. W. Turnbull is visiting the mills of the Rockcastle Lumber Company, 

 Inc., and C. L. Ritter Lumber Company, Inc., in Huntington, W. Va., 

 Doran, Va., and Offutt, Ky., with whom the Turnbull Company has made 

 a contract recently to handle its stock in New York state. New Jersey, 

 eastern Pennsylvania and the Cumberland valley. By this contract it 

 will be in a position to place in the field some of the best hardwood 

 lumber ever marketed. 



John W. Floyd of the Floyd Lumber Company, is certainly immune 

 from the least taint of pessimism. He says things are coming around 

 all right and prices are well maintained. He is confident business will 

 brighten up generally as the weather settles. 



Joseph Beck of Estate of Daniel Buck, has just returned from an 

 extensive trip to the leading southern hardwood mills. 



Members of the Lumbermen's Golf Club will play the first game of the 

 season on the links of the Atlantic City Country Club, Northfield, near

 prize," will begin at this meeting and continue at each meeting through- 

 out the season. 



George M. Spiegle of George M. Spiegle & Co., says business is a little 

 off, due to bad weather, but the outlook for spring Is encouraging.

 the year's business.

 under New Jersey laws March 23 with a capitalization of $100,000.
