The National hardwood convention appears to have been very satisfac- 

 tory to all concerned. The visitors were very complimentary In their 

 expressions of opinion and certainly the local members of the trade 

 exerted themselves to make them comfortable. There was no distinction 

 as to class of lumber handled here. If anyone handled lumber here, he 

 turned in and helped. TTie procession of nine trolley cars that made the 

 Niagara Gorge trip carried with it members of practically every local 

 lumber concern of any prominence. Quite a number of the firms were 

 represented by their entire membership, even where the list included three 

 or four people. Somebody was always on hand to see that everything 

 proceeded properly. This efficiency was due largely to the numerous and 

 lengthy committee meetings held before the convention.

 the former Scatcherd quarters on Seneca street. The office building has

 and oak for Davenport & Ridley. Trade in these woods is reported rather

 this month, this being one of the most active woods at the yard. More 

 lake lumber will be brought in later this season. 



Blakeslee, Perrin & Darling report oak as in larger demand than other 

 hardwoods, though trade is not very active. Mixed-ear buying continues 

 the policy of most buyers. 



Taylor & Crate appear to be advancing about as fast as cotton-planters 

 as in lumber operations, perhaps from the fact that their cut-over territory 

 is increasing all the time. They have lately reported that their Missis- 

 sippi sawmills have been working this spring almost at a record-breaking 

 rate, turning out oak chiefly.
