Local lumbermen are expecting a great increase in lumber purchases 

 from the Philadelphia Navy Yard. This is due to the announcement 

 made in Washington, November 16, that the local yard was the lowest

 of the dreadnoughts will be built here.

 Pennsylvania legislature in the purchase of the well-known Cook tract 

 of timber for the use of the Wild Life League of Pennsylvania. This is 

 the last big tract of virgin timber in Pennsylvania and it is likely that 

 some disposition of it will be made in the near future.

 finds a very much stiffer inquiry for hardwoods. It has advanced prices 

 on some grades $2.00 per M and is able to get the new figure without 

 much trouble. 



The Allegheny Lumber Company says that there is no special gain in 

 business in some lines while others show quite an increase. The general

 hardwood for mining and contracting purposes. It is not at present
