LUMBER AND BUILDING MATERIAL

The Northwestern Lumberman says
There was cry few years ago that the
cutting OF so many hoop-poles was wound
ing the forests in such manner that they
would never recover. So many poles to a
barrel or hogshead, and so many barrels
and hogsheads manufactured in the couu-
try, was the way the calculations were
made, and at such Il rate, it was said, all
the saddles suitable for hoops would be
cut, and consequently the saddles could
not grow into large trees. The inventive
genius oil man, however, stepped in and
saved the saddles. Where ten years ago
there were hundred poles cut there is not
one now. Given timber, aud the making
OF hoops is fast and easy job Machines
white them out AS last as a boy could
whittle shavings from stick. One good
sized log Will produce as many hoops MS in
oiden times man could collect from ten
acres OF ground. This is but single illus
tratlon OF the preservation of timber due to
the ingenuity of man. The inventor of the
wire fence stopped more of u drain upon
the forests than he dreamed OF. He was
no phianthropist and dreamed, OF course,
only OF his own pocket, but he did the
country great service From these and
other changes that have been made, it may

DIZZY GOODS.

Concerning the foreign dry-goods trade
The Commercial Bulletin says: There
is little more doing in foreign goods, as
distribution at the hands Of jobbers and re-
tsilers improves. Some lines Of medium
silks are selling very well rs TO quantities,
though very Enthusiastically as TO prices,
and some fine silks are In moderate steady
request. There is no active movement in
dress goods, but some assortments are
wanted, including embroidered nuns veil
ing at low prices. and some orders are
taken for fall delivery. There is, however,
continuation OF the speculative demand
tor cashmeres. The demand Tor cotton
fabrics has not revived to any extent,
though organizes, batistes, jaccOnettes, etc,
are selling some, AS also are some OF the
embroidered satines, pefcales, batistes, etc,
