Canada Lumberman Weekly Edition 28, 1898 the Graham, Home & Co. estate at Fort William, Ont. Mr. Graham has been appointed local manager. J. Davidson, of Ashland, Wis., has closed a contract to cut 4,000,000 feet of logs for Mr. McCaul, the waney board operator. The Dock Department of New York city opened bids last week for 1,643,872 feet of yellow pine, and awarded the contract to Cooney, Eckstein & Co., at $ per thousand feet, delivered. The tug St. Clair arrived at the Brunette saw mills, New Westminster, , recently, with 733,000 feet of logs. This is the largest raft of logs which has ever been received at the Brunette mills. It is estimated that at least 3,500 men ate working in the woods on the Kenne- bec waters, and that the season's cut, including saw logs and pulp wood, will reach 100,000,000 feet, against 97,000,000 feet last year. Cockburn & Son, of Sturgeon Falls, Ont., have contracted with the Sturgeon Falls Pulp Co. to take out a large quan- tity of pulp wood. They will cut 5,000 cords this winter, and 10,000 cords in each of the two succeeding years. Next to Chicago, Cleveland has been the largest buyer of coarse white pine stock along the chain of great lakes. The present holdings are believed to be fully 25 per cent, above those of one year ago, or in the neighborhood of 125,000,000 feet. New York dealers report having re- ceived enquiries for a considerable quan- tity of box shooks required in Argentina, Brazil, the British West Indies, and Porto Rico. It is estimated that from 15 to 18 car loads will be required immediately. At Manistee, Mich., prices on hemlork are especially good. There has recently been experienced a considerable growth in demand for hemlock in the northwestern states, no doubt due, in a measure, to the comparatively high price of Norway and white pine dimension.
