A LUMBERAIAN's EXCHANGE.
A number of lumber dealers have
gone into the mechanics and traders
exchange, which they propose to make
a grand institution worthy Of New Or
leans. Others insist on the orgauiza.
ton of regular lumberman's exchange
in this city, devoted to this interest
alone. Chicago, they say, did not
thrive as a great lumber centre until
this was done. 1t is claimed that an
exchange of this kind could easily start
out with 30 or 40 members. as all the
leading mill-men Of the Mississippi
coast would readily join it.

BUYING TIMBER LANDS.
A New York firm has had agents il

eager bidders for as much more as they
