compU'te co-oiHTiitiiin ot the Clevelaiiil Hoaril ot Luiiihi:!' Pi'akTs. It is 

 expected that the new bureau will do away with a great many contro- 

 versies which arise over the amount and quality of lumber delivered on 

 specific orders, largely arising out of the habit ot many consumi'rs to maki' 

 no check of the tally or grade ot lumber upon delivery. 



The bureau will be available at all times to checlJ up on the invoice ■1 

 all deliveries and ascertain whether the amount and grade ot luml" r 

 delivered is up to specification. The bureau will be separate and imle- 

 pendenl and all concerned feel that a groat many unnecessary controveries 

 will be avoided.

F. B. Pryor, sales manager ot the W. M. Ritter Lumber Company, speak 

 ing ot conditions in the hardwood trade, said : "There is a decidedly bet 

 ter tone to the trade, which is evidenced both by more inquiries and larger 

 orders. Retailers are buying better and orders are also being received from 

 the automobile, box and furniture trade. Prices while still showing a 

 wide spread are not as irregular as formerly. The upper grades of hard 

 woods are very scarce and that has the effect of switching the demand tc. 

 the medium and lower grades."
