firm Of Otis Shepard 4 Co, and the formation Of
a new firm under tie title Of Shepard, Davis x
Co, indicate some extensive changes in the
lumber business Of Burlington.
We have been aware, for some little time
past, that these were in rogres,, but, at the
request Of the partie-, have deferred any public
mention Of them until the formal announcement
of the changes should appear.
These changes amount, in effect, to the dispo-
sal Of the property and business Of L. Barnes &

Canadian connections Of the same, and Of the
property and business Of Otis Shepard & Co., to
