442 RECORD AJND GUIDE tebruary 26, 1910 better than at any time since the flrst of the year. The estimated total of lum¬ ber transactions of all kinds, for the week exceeded that of any week since the middle of December. How long this will continue was doubt¬ ful, said one man, because the totai amount of new buildings projected so far this year is about $1,000,000 less than tor the teame time last year. It is taken as an indication of baokwarflness among operators. For this reason, it is pointed out, the prospects for a better lumber year than last are not good at present. Shipments from sources of supply came in better this week. This was probably due to the fact that the holiday gave the transportation lines an opportunity to catch up to some extent with busi¬ ness held up as a result of the recent congestion caused by heavy snow storms. The hardwood interests report an ac¬ tive market, there having been but lit¬ tle falling off in business since the close of 1909. Prices are firmer in maple, cypress, gum and oak. Higher prices are looked for within a month or two, or as soon as business finds its own level. The mills are reported to be in good shape to take more business and the agents here report that conditions are ripe to do a big business this sum¬ mer and fall. They do not look for a large volume of business before the mid¬ dle of July. N. J. LUMBERMEN TO MEET. The New Jersey Lumbermen's Protec¬ tive Assoc, will hold its annual meeting on March 15 at the Hotel Montclair. Mont¬ clair, N. J. Take Delaware, Dackaw-anna and Western K. R.
