 good deal of lumber of late on previously placed orders, and on top of 

 this are uncertain, on account of growing labor difficulties, as to amounts 

 necessary to purchase. The result is the continued slackness which is 

 everywhere acknowledged, but as stated, in the face of this a full realiza-

 who do not fully appreciate the very real bearing that continued labor 

 shortage in the woods and at the mills, and difficulty in shipments of 

 logs and lumber will have on supplies during' the winter and the spring 

 month.s. The result is the continuance of stiff prices with a tendency to 

 advance rather than to recede. 



Low grades are going strong, although of course the demand from the 

 millwork and furniture and similar factories is in keeping with the de- 

 mand for the products of these institutions.
