The B7cf manufacturers Association has a. length
almost succeeded in stopping the supply OF brick that
comes TO the New-Yorx and Brooklyn markets. When
the boycott first established the amount oi brick
being used daily In New Nork alone amounted to nearly
GOO0,Oo0. t'pder normal conditions this supply Oh
5000. 900 brick daily. which Is required when the
building season Is at Its Height. would fall of about
900 during tho month Of september so tliatt Is
estimated. A.ooO.OOO brick day would be enough 70
keep binding operations moving without any stril'
gcury beng felt for the rest Of the season. notwh'
standing the exaggerated reports In circulation that aS
much brick I, needed was required during juno
and July.

showed 40 dminuton. but an extra supply was being
laid up by the bwIldcr~ u provision against inc
famine that was more feared than expected Many
builders put extra hands. and when there was no
room to store brick about their premises. they were
r1in into tho walls with unusual alacry, and all build
