The Hardwood Market 



=F 



-< CHICAGO >■ 



Chicago lumbermen have not much to say as to any changes In the 

 situation since the last Issue of Hardwood Uecoed. The tieup of traffic 

 and industry occasioned by the shutdown has rather held things la 

 abeyance so that there is no way of telling yet whether government regu- 

 lation has made possible any changes In the shipping situation. The trade 

 here, though, is confident that as soon as government direction with its 

 attendant advantages is given full opportunity for making Itself felt, 

 the car situation will be materially Improved. At present trade is pro- 

 ceeding without noticeable changes, but with the prospect that there may 

 be some Improvement in the building situation as the spring months de- 

 velop, even though such Improvement may he small In proportion.
