lively high prices
LUNBER-The trouble about prompt de-
livery Is even more noticeable this week
than it was last, as in the interim the de-
msnd has quckened considerably and the
productive capacity has remained station
ary. At the moment, indeed, the inquiry
for long spruce lumber is positively brisk
and prices rule firm, with the tendency up
ward Purchasers seem all to be in hur-
ry They think the spring Is likely to
open earlier here than down east and they
want to be in position to take full advan-
taRe OF their opportunities. During the

watched closely and with great interest.

for thought In our editorial columns. The
receipts continue small and irregular,
though consignments from the West con-
tinue to come to hand. The general move
ment in the West shows steadily weaken
ing tendency and woods held in the West,
for which fair offers were refused but few
months ago, are now being offered here at
three cents pound less, with no takers.
The Boston banks are beginning to scan
wool credits, too, but the only result has

The big profits OF 1899, eked out by the COM
missions of 1900, are not easily wiped out
