The BUILDING OUTLOOK.
But Little Work in View The Lumber Mar
ket Strong.

A. the season of active building oper-
atoms approaches there is naturally a
good deal of inquiry as to the probable
cost of putting up structure compared
with that of previous wears. Men on
gagged in the various business trades gen
orally concur in tn" statement that
while there is a better promise for work,
no rapid or great increase in cost can hc
expected this season.
Tie contractors are not very confident
of Il large seasons work as the Purinton
block aud Il few small wooden houses
are all that are in view. though more
may be found later in the season. some
think that prices will go a little higher
than last year while others are not So
confident.
In the retail lumber trade the prospects
are good. Inquiries are numerous aud on
this account Inc prices are becoming
fixed and strong.
Lumber is about the only building ma
tcria that was affected by the new tar
if. ana in that the effect has not been
aS great as was anticipated. 1t has been
most marked on the lower grades OF
white pine, on which removal of Cana
dian competition has enabled the mill
men on this side to clear off some of their
accumulated stocks, and 10 bring the
price nearer to a remunerative figure.
In the line of strictly builders hard
ware prices are somewhat lower than
they were Il year ago. The difference is
caused by improved machinery ana
methods OF manufacture, and not by any
decrease of demand. In factory work.
such as sash. doors. blinds. mouldinSs.
etc. there is a slight advance to cores
pond with the advance in lumber. Tile
and other finishing and decorating mate
rails are about the same as iast year.

STATE HOUSE.
The Plans Of the New England
Governors.
They Think Combined Exhibit Advisable al
Paris in 1900.

During the time that the governors of
the New England states were at Boston.
last week. the subject of the Paris expo
sition was discussed by them. and though
they arrived at no definite action con
corning the matter. they mapped out a
general plan that will be finally acted
upon later.
The matter under discussion was
whether the states should make a separ-
ate exhibit at the exposition or whether
there should be a combined exhibit made
by the New England states.
The general opinion seemed to be. that
it would be policy to unite. and have one
exhibit represent New England.
When some definite plan is reached,
there will he bills presented to the legis-
latures asking for their approval of the
plan and the appropriation necessary.
