A wholesale lumber man said this week that the suburban business was holding up the lumber situation, large shipments having gone to nearby towns and cities within the last week- The gradual de¬ crease in the number of local projected buildings during the last four weeks has had its effect upon the demand for this kind of building material- The quantity of alterations, which on the whole has been in excess of last year, has helped to keep the market fairly firm for this time of the year. Hardwoods continue flrm, but an easing off in demand has enabled the manufacturers to catch up with their deliveries to this market. Long leaf yel¬ low pine fell off in demand somewhat this week- Spruce is in fair demand, while heavy timber held Its own, as has been the case for the last six weeks LUMBER. These flgures cover only wholesale prices to the trade on well maoutaclured graded slock, classi¬ fied by tbe Inspection rules now In operation. Because of terms of sale, etc., u le Impracticable to quote retail nrices. HARDWOODS, The following prices are the latest rulioE to ttie wholesale lumber dealers In carioad lots f. o b.

Large retail dealers of stone have been receiving great quantities of Indiana limestone within the last week in antici¬ pation of a possible shortage of this prod¬ uct this winter- One dealer has put in over 60 carloads within the last few days, while one or tw^o Newark companies have put in unusually large supplies. The mar¬ ket is stiff for new stock, with prices tending upw^ard sharply. It is said that some wholesalers have sold in excess of supply, and there is a lively scramble all along the line for certain kinds of rough stone. Visits made this week at the various wholesale offices and to the cutting yards showed that there is considerable opti¬ mism in the trade. The cutters are In pretty good shape as far as business is concerned in this city, this being espe¬ cially true of B. A. & G. N. Williams. The various marble companies with agencies here report that they are taking good sized business, a considerable quan¬ tity of which is for delivery in Febru¬ ary, That month, according to one man, promises to be especially noteworthy in the quantity of marble delivered in this city. The granite men are casting hun¬ gry eyes upon the new municipal build¬ ing as one of next year's big offerings. As for the present they find encourage¬ ment in the upward tendency of the mar¬ ket as a whole. WANTED—A NEW STONE. A leading wholesale building stone man told the writer a few days ago that he believed that the day of the popularity of limestone is passing, although, he said, the final obliteration is a long way off. But he said that he felt that, as was the case with brownstone, limestone would have to give way to a different material. He said that talks with the most pro¬ gressive architects had led him to be¬ lieve that they would welcome a new stone, one that offered a different color, for the architectural adornment of New Tork buildings. Today most of the" prin¬ ciple buildings are either brown, light gray or buff, and leaders in architecture believe, he said, that some other hue would be a welcome change and would spring at once into popularity, A specialist in roofing and structural slate expressed the opinion this week that, while the summer and fall were not up to expectations, the winter would offer a volume of business a little in excess of normal, judging from the quantity of in¬ quiries now in hand- He was speaking of the entire district east of Pittsburgh. New Tork, he thought, would offer its share of business. The bulk of his ship¬ ments, for Instance, is now going to the suburbs for roofing and to this city for structural. The outlook for better prices seemed to be getting brighter, each day, he said, STONE.—Wholesale rates, delivered at New York. Bennington building mabie.........$1.25® ....
