AVERY & CO. Things are quiet among .the lumber dealers and would be still worse but for a fairly good demand from foreign shores. California Is buying less than for a long time and the east sends few orders although Inquiries are more plentiful than some weeks ago when dealers there had larger stocks on hand. Locally the demand for building ma terial shows no particular Improvement and will hardly do so at this time of the year with Intermittent showers. Quite a number or buildings are in course of construction but their num ber is not sufficient to drain mill OREGON PAINT & VARNISH COMPANY JOBBERS AND WHOLESALE AND RETAIL; DEALERS IN Paints, Oils, Varnishes and Painters9 Supplies 93 GRAND AV.

In refer ence to conditions at San Francisco, Wood and Iron of Ban Franciaoo has this comment to make: "San Francisco and other urban sections need lumber, and need It In Build in it 1 but tern- bank commence to run their business as leiennone East Z89S of realty, both urban and suburban, will mlllmen were wise In closing down their plants or lessening their runs, for this was the only manner In which a glut ting of the markets could have been avoided. Fortunately the areat major ity of mlllowners were In a position where they could absolutely close down their plants without facing- the drag of interest nayments. wun tne ouuaing up again to a normal demand ror roresc products will come another era of good times for the coast s lumber manufac turing and sell In k circles. "Fir has suffered more than redwood. This was natural, for the extent of the former manufacturing Interest Is . so much srreater than that of the latter, Prices nave been way off their normal and random cargoes have glutted the market to a most undesirable degree. The latter Is one of the most depres sing features of the lumber trade, and some effort should be consummated whereby a cessation of random ship ments might be secured. The prices At tendant upon rir purcnases cannot ne accurately quoted, as manufacturers prefer to figure upon specifications." The American Lumberman of Chica go In ' commenting on Paciflo coast trade conditions makes this comment: '"In the Paciflo coast states there scarcely has been any Improvement in conditions. Kany saw mills and shingle mills are Idle and manufacturers are uncertain as to the safe course to pur sue until the rail rate question shall be settled. Some of them are taking orders based on the theory that the old rates will be resorted to voluntarily by railroads If those best advised on the subject can have their Ideas adopted bv the roads. The majority of shin- fiers, are, however, sanguine that if It s left to the commission, when the final decision shall come. It will confer permanent relief, So far the rail busi ness Is dull. There Is considerable In quiry for: yard stock, but few orders have as yet resulted. The shingle trade Is Intermittent. The' mills are general ly Idle. Transit cars of shingles have been mostly disposed of at the Minne sota transfer and few are comlnff through the Billings gateway. On pu get sound lists are out at $2 per 1,000 for stars and 12.60 for clears. No change In cargo trade, either domeMlo or foreign, has occurred lately. Sev-f Work will begin on W. D. Fen ton's five-story building fronting Seventh and Ankeny streets within the next 30 days. The site has been cleared and excavating for the foundation will be gin as soon as the contract can be let. Slow burning Is to be the character of construction employed. The outside walls are to be of concrete with a steel frame support, and the Interior of mill construction. Russell & Blyth, owners of the small triangular lot on the corner of Ankeny and Seventh, have entered Into a party wall agreement with Judge Fen ton which secures to them the use of two walls of the Fenton building when they Improve their property. Glass & Prudhomme have taken a lease on the Fenton building. After a delay or lour montns, due to a fire, the Haseiwood creamery build ing at Third and Olisan streets Is nearly ready for occupancy. The east and north walls of the structure were badly scarred by the Are arid are being faced with cement All the crtrders and stud ding on the second and third floors had to be torn out and replaced, wnicnworic has been the main cause of delay. Within the next week or 10 days the heavy machinery at the plant on Fifth and Oak streets will be moved to the new building ana ny FeDruary l tno Arm will be occupying the place with its entire plant. BUILDING III ROSE CITY PARK Every Indication points to the making of a building record In Portland In 1908, that will exceed that f f 1907. when 4 total of nearly J10.000.ofoo was expended In new construction. Plans Xor It mag nificent buildings, all vt which are to go up lh the business center, are now undergoing preparation In the offices of local architects; and as many more are projected, with the reasonable cer tainty that most of them will go through. Residence building has taken on a re newed Impetus since the first of the year; In every section of the city may be seen piles of sand and gravel and a few sacks of cement the first Indica tion that a new dwelling is to go up. Among the class A, or best class of business buildings that are practically certain of construction this year are the following: Six story addition to the Meier A Frank department store at Sixth and Aider.
