 1,1'adiiiR wholesalers and retailers iiie acceplInK no buslneaa from new 

 patroiis, preferring to exert all energy In behalf of old custimiera. Wise 

 leaders of the local colony are of the opinion that prices will break 

 records before the spring bulldlui; boom Is over, and they sec nntbinK 

 In sight but a wild drive for stocks at the manufaclurlng points from 

 this time on. Eveu If the mills could go on uninterruptedly throughout 

 the winter, local hardwood men say that there would be no surplus of 

 stocks In this city next spring. Those who have hardwoods for ruah 

 delivery are reaping a double harvest, as they can name their own prlcea 

 nnd terms.

 outlook for this year's business. The pay rolls In greater I'ltlshurgh 

 now amount to more than ?l,'J00,00o per day and the bank clearings arc 

 running more than $12,000,000 per day. This enormous amount of money 

 in circulation Is sIlinulHting liuying In every line. Manufacturing con- 

 cerns arc at present and will be heavy buyers of hardwood, both for the 

 construction of new plants and for current uses. Demand from the auto- 

 mobile and furnltnre concerns for stock of hardwood for ISir. Is Increas- 

 ing steadily nnd there Is good prospect that this business will bold up the 

 prices now being asked for bardwnnil. Yanl trade Is. of course, slow- this 

 month. The railroad business Is much better than In the fall, and riijul- 

 sitions for 1910 arc considerably larger than last .7anuary, There has been 

 a little surplus of low-grode hardwood the past few- weeks, but prices on 

 this slock are now coming up nnd there Is good prospect that quotations will 

 be maintained. High-grade hardwood Is scarce and prices quoted are 

 secured with little or no trouble in most cases. 



=-< BOSTON y^ 



The almost total collapse of the New England railroads furnishes the 

 most Important development alTcctIng the trade of tbis district. While It 

 Is not entirely local In Its application and results, the transportation facili- 

 ties of the Northeast have unquestionably approached nearer to complete 

 paralysis than In other parts of the country. State and federal Inter- 

 ference, both statutory and Judicial, have iiein more severe here, also the 

 greater preponderance of the munition manufacturing plants located on 

 local lines, the Immense Increase In expert tonnage from the West through 

 the port of Boston, the storms and lastly the dilBcultles with labor have 

 all contributed to the present situation. The elTects proceeding from the 

 causes mentioned have been seriously felt. If there be no constructive 

 relief from the embargoes now applying on every road (which Is not prom- 

 ised in view of the meager expenditure on upkeep and extension for several 

 years! and the volume of building and manufacturing Indicated In all com- 

 mercial reports Increases according to prediction, the effect on lumber 

 and similar e^immndiries will l.i- a diTldedlv- new ami diftli-iilt ennditinn
