NEW YORK
The veneer market the past week has shown
considerable strength, due to the high prices bid
at the foreign auction sales of mahogany logs
the past week. Holders of anything choice or
that promises to show even a fair percentage
ot good figure seem averse to parting with it.
Bids ranged from 2s. (25 cents) to 10s. ($2.50)
per board foot, the former being for very inferior
grades. In consequence, American importers are
only buying what they consider bargains, as
they doubt the ability of the foreign market to
hold to the present prices for any great length
of time. In the meantime, the piano case manu-
facturers will have to pay fancy prices to secure
anything really choice. Walnut veneer con-
tinues to advance in price, and there is consid-
erable now held at over ten cents per foot. Cir-
cassian walnut is reported as coming in very
slowly.

L. G. Jones, of East Tenth street and Ave-
nue D, has recently purchased several logs of
choice San Diego mahogany, which promise to
cut about eighty thousand feet of veneering of
unusual width. Mr. Jones succeeded in making
a corner in the satin wood market, the latter
part of last week, by purchasing over a half mil-
lion feet of the choicest for the Weber Piano
Co. for linings. This leaves a dearth of that
wood, and the dealers are all looking around
for available stock to fill immediate demands.

J. Bonneau has received a consignment of sixty-
one mahogany logs, nearly all of which show
indications of being finely figured. Among them
are a number of considerable size, some measur-
ing 40 inches square, which will give a veneer-
ing of 20 inches in width. They have now on
exhibition at their warerooms at Sixth street
and East River several logs recently cut, which
are particularly well figured. Mr. Bonneau
says that local business conditions, particularly
in the piano trade, are much better with them
than in former years at this season.

BLOCK SOVTH OF VNION SQUARE
George Hayes, chief engineer in Wasle's action
factory at Brown place and East 133d street, New
York, took a long iron bar Saturday afternoon
and tried to fix some machinery above the big
flywheel in the engine room.
The end of the bar slipped from a nut which
Hayes was tightening and struck the driving
rod of the flywheel. The bar was driven through
Hayes' head and he died almost instantly. He
was 39 years old and lived a t 664 East 137th
street.
SOLD LARGE LOG TO KNABE & CO.
Henry Sohn, the well-known representative of
J. Raynor, the veneer dealer of New York, re-
cently sold a particularly fine "Ocean Wave" log
to Wm. Knabe & Co., of Baltimore. Mr. Roth,
who has been selling veneers for this firm for
the past thirty-five years, says in all of his ex-
perience he has seldom seen any of greater
beauty, and the Knabe people prize their pur-
chase very highly, and will put the veneers on
their best instruments. Mr. Roth finds the piano
trade buying in excess of former years, and using
a much better quality of veneering.
