THE KIsDLIse WOOD BusIsEss:-It is about FIVE
rays since this trade became distinc business, and
lie peripatetic vender of fatpine found himself and
kasket laid upon the shelf by the energetic woodcart-
The trade has now assumed an importance COM
eusarate with the growth Of the city employing the
energies of fifteen large establishments and an extern
save mopeyed and reafestate capital. The Nestor of
ehe trade is Daniel Nash, whose firm, the Accomac
weod and Kindlng Company, emplsy capital of
nearly hundred thousand dollars Their building oc-
sspies the block on Eleventh avenue Twentyseventh
and Twenty eighth streets where their wood stored
aud prepared for use. They draw their supplies en-
tely from their estate Of ten thousand acres OF tim.
hered lands in Accomac County Va; employing their
swn vessels and force of about two hundred men in
utng Transporting and distributing the wood TO their
customers. The oiher firms get their supplies from
wood dealers. Two hundred thousand cords OF pine
wood are annually brought 10 the New-York market
If which Fifty thousand cords are used by kindlng-
wsod eompanies In the transportation OF this ma
serial about a hundred schooners are employed
gbe number has fallen off somewhat lately through
a contraction of the business OF the immense
supply Of pine wood, New-Jersey furnishes
useesehth, and Virginia the remainder; The supplies
from the latter State are drawn principally from the
slmber lands along the James, York, and Rsppahsn-
mock rivers and from Aooomac County, on the Penin-
suls which lies between the Chesapeake Bay and the
Atlantic. Mr.. James AlleD who Is one Of the largest
zeal estate owners the james River, has railroad
Afeen miles long on his land for the transporta
tiop of timber. From his docks the kindhng- wool
dealers obtain large part of their Virginia pine The
supply Of kidding material is rapidly falling of at the
accustomed sources and new tracts will soon have 10
be opened, probably the rivers Of North and South
Carolina and Georgia. NewJersey furnishes far
ka amount each succeeding year. and the supply from
Virginia is not In keeping with the demand; although
ne Virginia pine has a very rapid growth, shooting
sP from the brush TO size large enough for frewood
d ten years.
The Zine for kindlng is brought to the establish
