report extra buying at this time with
a better price than was offered even
a week ago some paper mills have all
they can do while others report or
ders coming in in small amounts.
At Bellows Falls some of the pa
per mills are idle owing to low water

months. Marble for building work is
reported in good demand.
Reports from I / cities in the Unit

for building work during the month
of July of this year a little over $751;
