Init it is believed that nothing can pos- 

 sil)ly cause a decline in the present price.s. 

 'I'he chair and other furniture people are 

 somewhat an.xiuus to buy 1 and IVi inch 

 I'lui. but are able to secure verj- little. 

 Hickory and ash are wanted in both lumber 

 and cut-to-sizc wagon material, but tha 

 receipts of both are very light. Other 

 wodd.s remain about as they have been 

 and the general market is very strong. 



PHILADELPHIA. 



The past month has been one of the 

 dullest in the experience of the local lum- 

 ber dealers. In addition to having to con- 

 tend with the regular summer slump, 

 there has been but little buying as a re- 

 sult of the high prices of all kinds of lum- 

 ber. Hardwoods and all other stocks have 

 maintained their prices throu.ghout the 

 summer. Builders and other business 

 men who depend upon the Itintber market 

 lor material, believe that prices will fall. 

 .\s a result of this very general impres- 

 sion, contractors and builders are holding 

 off, in anticipation of lower prices, and 

 many business operations have been sus- 

 jiended until the fall. Experts who am 

 familiar with the lumber market declare, 

 however, that the prices will not be lower. 

 In support of this assertion they say that 

 although the tigures are hi.gher than usual, 

 they are no more than they should be. 

 The supply of lumber is decreasing, they 

 say, while on the other hand the demand 

 is constantly growing. The present mar- 

 ket prices are nearer the real value of 

 lumber, and it is freely predicted that 

 stocks will shortly go higher, instead of 

 selling off. 



Hemlock is one of the most active of 

 woods. Despite the fact that it has re- 

 cently gone up in price, the dealers are 

 talking of adding an additional 50 cents to 

 its figure. The mills have no surplus stock 

 on hand, and although the season is dull, 

 there are sufficieut orders to eonstimo 

 everything in the yards. White pine has 

 fallen off somewhat in demand, but yellow 

 pine continues to command good prices. 

 All of the other stocks have been well 

 supported, considering the depressing mar- 

 ket.

With the return of lumlier dealers and 

 contractors from their stimmcr outings, 

 the lumber market is taking on a dis- 

 tinctively brighter tone and the prospects 

 are good for a brisk fall trade. Owing 

 to the continued labor disturbances since 

 last spring the local sales have been cut 

 down way below what the nominal condi- 

 tions warranted. An effort is now being 

 made to ad.iust the wage scales annually, 

 and at the same time which will beueat 

 lumbermen no less than architects, con- 

 tractors and builders. That this move is 

 satisfactory to all persons engaged in 

 building is shown by the way projects 

 h.ave been shoved on to the boards since 

 .Vugust 1."). when the labor disputes were 

 finally settled, at least for this fall. This 

 phase of the situation has an important 

 lieariug on the lumber trade in Pittsburg, 

 as house building has been greatly cur- 

 tailed by the constant strikes, and to this 

 soui'ce dealers look for a large proportion 

 of their sales. 



Dealers in general are inclined to take 

 a vei-y hopeful view of the situation. One 

 serious di-awback that affects speculative 

 building is the tight money market, for 

 which no great relief is pioniised for some 

 time. With conditions fairly favorable 

 the fall and winter business in lumber Is 

 likely to exceed that of last year by at 

 least one-fourth. Never before were so
