 good letter of credit had to give way to the heavy gold coin, which is 

 the only eurreney in vogue abroad these days.

 Murphy. Within a few weeks the members of the Buffalo Lumber 

 Exchange will accept Mr. McLean's hospitality and .loin in an annual out- 

 ing at the Canoe Club. The date has not yet been arranged. 



Lake receipts of lumber to .Tnly .31 showed a falling off of about 

 forty per cent this year. No doubt some of this decline is due to the 

 ■fact that the hardwood yards have been getting in scarcely any stock by 

 -\valer this year, whereas in former years the receipts have been large. 



Hugh McLean has gone to the Pytonga Club, in Canada, for a two 

 weeks' filling trip, being accompanied by H. E. Montgomery, E. B. 

 Holmes and one or two other local business men.

 In this market. 



The Standard Hardwood Lumber Company reports business as rather 

 light of late, but the yard is getting in some stock and now has one 

 of the largest assortments in this market. 



Aliller, Sturm & Miller report trade in hardwoods as a little better 

 than it -ivas a. month ago. though it is not active. Oak, maple and 

 poplar are the -woods most in demand at the yard. 



Blakeslee. Perrin & Darling report an increased demand for . \]in.ss 

 <luring the past few weeks. Most hardwoods are selling a littl.- I...|t..r 

 than some weeks ago, though not brisk as yet. 



Taylor & Crate report a fair demand for hardwoods at present, with 

 a good deal of lumber shipped from the South. The export trail., has 

 lieen interrupted by the European war. 



O. Elias & Pro. call the hardwood trade dull at present, as well as the

or Poplar so that they will COST you considerably LESS 

 THAN the same cuttings if BOUGHT AS LUMBER.
