"Lumber developed an unusual Decem¬ ber business and has kept it up remark¬ ably well," said a representative of one of the biggest companies specializing in pine, this week. "We look for an early resumption of business after the holidays, and if the winter is open, even part way," as he expressed it, continuing, "we hope to start next year at a good pace and to increase' the gait as we progress." As for prices, another dealer, who has extensive yards across the Bast River, said that he looked for a general advance soon. "Prices now," said he, "are not what they should be. The retailers don't seem to have the confidence in what 1910 will bring them, that distributors in other lines have." Hardwoods have a good call, but the early Autumn rush is over now and the mills are catching up on their orders. The possibility of car shortages is having a beneficial effect upon many of the mills which are shipping orders as quickly as possible and as soon as they can get suitable cars. There is no change in cur¬ rent prices. PRICES.

Pig Iron. The pig iron market continues un¬ changed. It is extremely dull and prices are just about holding their own. New business and inquiries are reported light. Foundry grades are easier and small con¬ cessions are being made on competitive small orders. Basic has developed a scarcity for early shipment. The prices current for the week just closed follow: PIG IRON.—Tho following are nominal deliv¬ ered prices at tidewater for shipment into the Srst quarter: Northern: No. 1 X Jersey City..............$19,20@?19,70 No. 2 X Foundry................. 18.70 19.20 No, 2 Plain ..................... 18.20 18.70 The following pricee are f. o. b. cars Bir¬ mingham, freight to N.

American. $2.90 $3.00 2.86 3.00 Steel. Steel has entered the usual dull period incidental to the holidays. Prices are steady. There is a large amount of work reported to be pending, but negotiations are being held in abeyance until after January 1. Many of the manufacturers are making preparations for handling larger contracts when business resumes its normal activity, while jobbers are an¬ ticipating their spring requisitions and are laying in large assortments. Bruce & Cook, Eggleston Brothers and Abeel Brothers are leaders in this movement. Structural interests are reported to be fairly active for this time of the year. Levering & Garrigues took 700 tons for a Springfleld, Mass., operation. The Hud¬ son Structural Steel Company took 400 tons for the Bronx theatre, while the Passaic Steel Works will fabricate for an apartment house in this city to be built by the Consolidated Realty Company, and which will require 600 tons. The Injunction issued this week post¬ poning the awarding of the structural general contract on the new Municipal building will pull down the total ton¬ nage average for December. The Thomp¬ son-Starrett Co, was the lowest bidder, and it is probable that the business will yet go to this concern. The steel speci¬ flcations call for a steel skeleton faced with granite twenty-flve stories in height and surmounted By an eight-story tower. The total height will be 550 feet, five feet lower than the Washington Monument, and about 25,000 tons of steel will be re¬ quired. An early adjustment of the diffi¬ culties attendant upon this award are looked for. STRUCTURAL STEEL, Nominal prices f. o. b. dock, N- T. Mill. Store.

The stone situation remains unchanged, that Is to say, it is hanging in the bal¬ ance as regards prices of certain grades of stone. Prices, if anything, are stiffer and are being met by a frigid attitude upon the part of llie cutters who are holding back on purchases excepting on those that are absolutely necessary. The atone situation, therefore, cannot be said to be strictly harmonious, but an early peace pact is anticipated when the long promised rush of business appears soon after the flrst of the year.

The demand for good grades of hard¬ ware fell off somewhat this week, but there was enough current business re¬ ported at the various wholesale houses to warrant a- characterization of "fair." Suburban business seemed to rule In largest volume, several big orders com¬ ing in from Jersey City to local Jobbing houses. The outlook for the year In this department of building equipment is said to be good, there being a large inquiry on foot and considerable business on oper¬ ations now about to flnish Is pending. The plumbing supply houses have found little diminution of business up to a week ago.
