under this head are steady, but have not
yet showh any signs of stiffening. The

upon.

Lumber.
A continued demand for factory grades
of pine featured the week while spruce
stiffened considerably. Long leaf yellow
pine timber fell off somewhat, according
to reports of wholesalers, but the week¬
end brought an improved movement.
Hardwoods lead the lumber situation at
present. Prices are advancing and are
stiff at the new figures, which are given
below. Some retailers are going to find
themselves unable to get supplies early
this Summer, owing to the fact that the
biggest mills, those that are best equipped
for making any kind of deliveries at all,
are simply swamped.
One wholesaler inquired of the country's
six largest mills only a week ago for 400,-
OOO feet of parquet flooring and several
carloads of quarter-sawn oak strips, and
only two of them were able to make ship¬
ments at all within the next ninety days.
This wholesaler made these inquiries so
as to cover himself against emergency
business a month hence, when the market
will be choked with orders and might be
held up on deliveries of anything but busi¬
ness booked early this quarter.
"The contractors themselves are to
blame for this condition," said Mr. Eber¬
hard, of the Strasburg Manufacturing Co.,
12 West Slst St. "They will not place
their orders ahead, thinking that they can
get material at any time and in any quan-
titj'. This may be true of pine, because
there are a thousand mills for turning out
pine to only one turning out hardwood
products, but it is all wrong as regards
hardwoods."
Contractors would do well to anticipate
their wants for summer and fall and place
their orders now for the third and fourth
quarter deliveries.
The Strasburg Manufacturing Co. has
signed a contract for 350,000 ft. of ouar-
ter-sawn oak parquet flooring for the
Riveria Realty Company's $2,200,000
apartment house now going up in River¬
side drive between lo6th and 1.5Tth sts.
This is the operation that Sonn Bros, are
interested in, and for which the Metro¬
politan Life Insurance Company gave a
ten year loan of $1,200,000 last week. The
Strasburg company is also supplying a
similar quantity of quarter-sawn oak par¬
queting for the Paterno jobs in 116th st.
Maple prices have gone up almost twelve
per cent, since November and the end is
not yet, as the demand for this wood is
increasing daily. Current quotations are
subject to a discount of $l,-50, but it may
go off at any time and so it is not quoted
in the following flgures:

Stone.
Granite and marble show wonderful im¬
provement over conditions prevailing for
the last month. Prices are actually stif¬
fening in these products, following the lead
taken by limestone early in December.
Marble is improving in demand for outside
use, according to various authorities.
The John Peirce Conipany, 90 West st,
signed contracts a few days ago for the
delivery of 700,000 cu. ft., pf Mt. Waldo
gray granite for the superstructure of the
new Municipal building. The price in¬
volved is said to be just under .'^2,000,000.
It was said at the offices of the company
that deliveries would extend over two
years and that they would begin as soon
as the Pennsylvania Steel Company began
to erect. The date when this work will
begin depends upon the speed nith which
the foundations are completed by the
Foundation Company. 11.5 Broadway. At
the offices of the latter company it was
said that, barring delays the job would be
ready for steel on or about September 1,
Stone is already being cut at the quarry
for this operation, said a representative
of the successful bidder and shipments
will be made almost entirely by schooner.
One of the terms of the contract, it is said
is that a sufficient amount of stone must
be on hand when wanted and provision is
made by the Thompson-Starrett Co., the
general contractors, against delays in
delivery.
The Dover White Marble Co., 500 Fifth
av. has been enlarging its quarters at
the above address owing, it is said, to the
greatly increased volume of business it is
handling at present. This company re¬
ports great activity in Jersey City and
Newark, N. J., where a great amount of
new construction work is in progress.
Some of the big granite contracts that
are expected to be signed up soon, are
the Bankers Trust Company building.
Trowbridge and Livingston, architects and
Marc Eidlitz, builders and also the new
Post Office, of which McKim, Mead &
White are architects. Current prices fol¬
