THE LUMBER TRADE OF NEW YORK. Considering the amount and value of the lumber handled on our market, there is probably no business conducted so loosely in this city as that which covers the handling of the product of the forest in a wholesale way. Every consignment coming to hand seeking sale is dependent, to a very large extent, upon "luck" in finding a profitable disposition, as even the most energetic and painstaking receiver is frequently left with no other alternative than simply selling for the best offer he can get, and, unless fortune favors by supplying a customer just in want of the offering, less than the actual value of the stock must be ac¬ cepted. EspeciaUy is this the dase with coastwise arrivals which, in the absence of proper and cheap storage room, must be forced ofE at some figure to save demurrage, and forced sales on the best of mar¬ kets always mean loss. An absence of proper classi¬ fication, also, is another great evil which reflects up¬ on both buyer and seller alike, and prevents the ad¬ justment of quotations calculated to convey a rehable aud useful idea of values. ■ We have received a com¬ munication from a dealer of our city, who, after re¬ citing the impoi-tance of the general lumber trade as a source of national wealth, ahd deprecating the want of proper handling it receives on the large distributive depot of New York, proceeds as follows : "There are over 200,000,000 feet sold in this market per year, at valuation of 30 to $80,000,000 without any exchange or" estabUshed market quotation, as with other merchandise. To change this crude mode, a fair and equitable value can be had which will satisfy the producer, carrier and buyer, making the Trade more legitimate, allowing the ordinary buyer to secure his wants with readiness and safety, and equally secur¬ ing the seUer. This simplifying mode will allow many to produce and seek markets which will cheapen commodity, who are now debarred from risking their funds in a product, without knowledge of its sales. To do this and bring order from present chaos, it is suggested that a meeting of fche Lumber Trade in infcerest be called, for appointment of a General Supervisor or Inspector, who shall dictate, specify, and limit the quaUties of Pine, Spruce and Hemlock Lumber, 1st good, 2d common, 3d culls, uone other being required, the Ti-ctde wiU thus make each individual selection to its profit. With this inspection it will be advisable to place lots afc auction to be sold, as per specification, to the highest bidder, to prevent loss of timej andsaeriflcing ' or storing cargoes, as now daily in,, use, for lack of properly meefcing wants of purchasers.
