Lumber uhlpped from tho mills by car Is delivered in bulk, on light ers, by nil tho railroad lines to any dock within what is known as tho llghtcrngo limits, which extend from tho Ilattery to Sovonty-Hoeond street on tho North rlvor, nnd Sixty third istteet on tho Kaat river. Uoyond tho limits nn extra chargo N made. Tlio iucieaso in valuo of property along tho wntor front has gradually driven tho doulcrs to locating on docks north of Fourteenth utrcot, wliero rents nro loss oppresslvo nml moro ground can bo util ized, thus rendering It unnecessary to pllo stock excessively high. 1 ho largest retail lumber yards In Now York contain from B.OOO.OOO to 7.000,000 feet; tho n ver tigo of all is probably not over 1,500,000 feet, mid tlio Btcndy How of disburse ments Is miulo good by mi equally unin terrupted stream of arrivals. Tlioro uro mnny ynnl de.ilera who contlno their deal Inga entlroly to soft woods that la, whlto plno, Bprueo uiul hemlock while others deal only In html woods, nnd mo also llnd a few who combine everything In the lumber lluo.

Exporters uro not lumber dealers, nnd tho hmullora of oxport lumber nro uot exportcra. This Btntemont mny nppear devoid of cons.0, but tho explanation la simple. In nil tho forolgn mm hots there la n well defined mid imwiworlng stnudarU of grading which cull bo mastered only by year3 of practical contact with such duty. Tho handlers f export lumber In Now i ork hnvo men employed known ns iuspeetora, who nro protlcleut In that part of tho business, nnd thoy do nothing but sort lumber ns it nr rlvo3 nt tho dock, and when thnt ii dono it la piled nnd nwalta shipment.

Such ngents place orders with a dealer In export, or shipping grades, nnd when tho lumber has occn tallied nud loaded on board n vessel, tho ngent In Now York pays tho bill. Tims tho dealor In ox port stock really has nothing to do with exporting, mid seldom has direct dealings with tho foreign buyer.
