source as Roumania that gives concern, but the use it is being put to. The spruce and fir lumber'of Roumania is in common use in the Levant, the Mediterranean countries, and is not unknown in western Europe, but it is never used in those regions for permanent building, but rather for temporary structures and such industrial uses as box manufacturing. It is a lumber that is inferior physicially and mechanically to'all species of American lumber used in housebuilding and it deteriorates rapidly when exposed to wear and weather. It is excellent lumber for the uses it is commonly put to in Europe. It is well-manufactured, thoroughly seasoned, and has a good appearance.

So far, all the Roumanian lumber that has arrived in New York has gone into building, mostly frame dwellings. American lumbermen fear that this use'will reflect on iheir product and on frame construction generally, as they predict that occupants and ow4ers of houses in which this lumber, well adapted to other purposes, is used will meet with much disappointment within a few years.
