MONDAY, Jan. 19.

Country Produce-JobbingP Prices.
Monday is eve. one of the quiet days of the
week in this line, and to-day furnishes no ex-
ception to the rule. Supply OF vegetables and
apples is fully up to demand, and trade in these

the firm factor, and higher prices Will no doub;
be established within a few days. Cold storage
eggs are virtually out for this season, and are
dropped from our list Fresh eggs are firm at
quotations. Tropical fruits are fairly steady
at the old rates. Large quantities of country
produce are being sold on track to the detri-

Not Yet Effected But Probable.

Somewhat premature mention has been MADE
In some OF our cotemporaries of the sale of the
Old DisDatch building on Fifth avenue to Mr..
John Newell who intends to use it for hotel
and restaurant purposes. 1t is true thas ne
Gotiations have for some time been afoot for
the property, but they are not yet completed OH
account Of a lease which stands in the way of
immediate possession. II is thought, however,
thatthis may he overcome, III which event Mr..
Newell would take possession April !. Various
prices have been quoted as asked for the pro-
perty, hut the exact figure is Si7S0 While
this is not as large was at first reported it
IS still true that per foot frontage it is higher
than has heen paid so far for city property. But
the lot is so feet by $40; SO that counting by
The square foot, higher prices have been paid
Tor a good deal Of other property. not only on
Fifth avenue. but also on SmIthtield and Wood
street, where the depth has been less Mr.
ODay, the well known oil man, will be in
tereSted with Mr.. Newell in the purchase, if it
can be accomplished. and not unlikely a very
handsome hotel building will go up there.

Timber Getting Scarce.

Unless statistics be at fault. it will not be
many years until wooden houses will cost more
than these constructed of brick or stone. The
timber supply is rapidly failing. The forest
wealth OF the United States has been so used
and abused that already the richest forests have
disappeared. The pine of Michigan Wisconsin
and Minnesota, once considered inexhaustible,
exists no longer. 1t has been exterminated; and
that is readily understood when it is remem-
bered that single mill has cut 50u 900 feet a
day, and that the capacity of all the mills of
ihe United States is more that 6UO10 OOQ 600 a
year. According to she census report there
were in 1850 la. 600 900 feet of pine standing
Since that time 45 s35 000 600 have been cut, SO
mat IN all the northern part of the United
states there is now only two years supply of
white pine of the best quality left. with more or
less pine of inferior quality. This is matter of
special Importance - Pittsburg. where build
ing is one of the great industries
