LOCATIONS FOR 

 INDUSTRIES. 



The name of the Chicago, Milwau- 

 kee & St. Paul Railway has long been 

 identified with practical measures for 

 the general upbuilding of its territory 

 and the promotion of its commerce, 

 hence manufacturers have an assur- 

 ance that they will find themselves 

 at home on the company's lines. 



The Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul 

 Railway Company's 0.300 miles of 

 railway, exclusive of second track, 

 connecting track or sidings, traverses 

 eight states, namely: 



NORTH 

 DAKOTA. 



MINNESOTA 



SOUTH 

 DAKOTA. 



MISSOURI. 



NORTHERN 

 MICHIGAN. 



WISCONSIN. 



ILLINOIS.

-which comprise a great Agricultural, 

 Manufacturing and Mining territory. 



The Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul 

 Railway Company gives unremitting 

 attention to the development of local 

 traffic on its lines and. with this in 

 view, seeks to increase the number of 

 manufacturing plants on its system, 

 either through their creation by local 

 enterprise or the influx of manufac- 

 turers from the East. It has all its 

 territory districted in relation to re- 

 sources, adaptability and advantages 

 for manufacturing. Specific informa- 

 tion furnished manufacturers in re- 

 gard to suitable locations. Address,

PHILADELPHIA. 



Tlicrc has scandy been any rally from 

 the slump ill tile luiiilier market that be- 

 gan early in tlie summer and which sliows 

 no sign of imiiroveiiieiit. Tlieie has been 

 no buying to speak of and the inactivity 

 is believed to be only a reflection of the 

 general susjiensioii of business in other 

 fields. Millions of dollars have been held 

 up in various building oiK'rations and 

 there seems to be no inclination on the 

 part of builders to start new enterprises. 



The only favorable tone that is imparted 

 to the market is the steady support of val- 

 ues. .\11 of the dealers are maintaining 

 I heir prices for tlie various stocks and 

 then- seems to be no tenden<-j- to sell short 

 of the market. In a few special cases 

 i-oncessions have been made, but the ma- 

 jority of dealers are demaiiiling the normal 

 prices. Tliis has aroused conlidenee in the 

 market and both the wiiolesalers and re- 

 tailers feel that the season will improve. 



Despite tin' slump some of the woods 

 have shown unusual activity. Hemlock 

 has prob.ibly been the least affected by the 

 prevailing conditions. No concessions can 

 lie obtained and most of the dealers are 

 behind in their shipment of orders. South- 

 ern and .North Carolina pine are also in 

 g<iod <lemand, and the lower grades of 

 white pine are active and bringing good 

 jirices. 



MEMPHIS. 



Wc.illier conilitions have lately been fa- 

 \orable io tlic operation of the mills, and 

 they are generally busily engaged, but log 

 su|>iily is still iiiade<iuate. Thei'e is very 

 litlle poplar on this market, some ash that 

 is iiieetiiig ready sale, little plain white oak 

 ill comparison with the demand, and a fair 

 siipiily of gum and cypress. Quartered 

 0,1k ill dry stock is found in very moderate 

 iHiaiitities. There have been no price 

 changes. Some of llie country millmen 

 are having slight troubles with their hands 

 these days, those who have cotton picking 

 iiiclinalions. The general market tenden- 

 cies are to a more active demand, with mail 

 iiii|iiiries ami personal representatives be- 

 L:iiiiiig Io come in to close contracts.

The trade shows more ini|UlrIes the last 

 few days, and a tendency toward stiffer 

 jirices on plain oak. Chestnut is exceed- 

 ingly good demand, .•iiid there is an above 

 the "average trade on poplar. Quaifered 

 white oak in dry stock is scarce. The fall 

 buyers are .just beginning to make their 

 personal advent.
