 tne of the most sjitisfactory in tlie irmii's 

 history. 



Itnililiii-.; iiiid coiislrui-tlon work of all 

 kiiiils lias been elieeked ill many seetioiis 

 by the" high priees of raaltriai and liiUor 

 and the belief that both will be lower in 

 the near future. KverythiiiR which enters 

 into the construction of a house lias ad- 

 vanced enormously in price, and the <i«iii- 

 billed increase has reached an assre^atc 

 which stairgers the prospective builder. The 

 I'Uildiii.u trade is slacking in its demands 

 and will probably not improve until .cmdl 

 lions change. 



In wagons and carriages, pianos ami or- 

 gans, box making and. in fact, all lines of 

 hardwood consumption, business is bilsl: 

 at present, and prospects for the fall trade 

 good. 



We are now practically tiirough the niid- 

 siuiumer dull season and without any per- 

 ceptible weakening in the hardwood list, 

 and we see no reason why there slioukl 

 be any weakening during the balaiui' ol 

 the year.
