The Hardwood Market 



-<. CHICAGO >- 



'Ihert: is nothing of importance in the way of turtlier development in 

 I he Chicago situation, the trade still being effectively tied up by the 

 -triking carpenters. Earnest efforts have been made tending to get the 

 I wo factions together, but while there seems to be a disposition toward 

 I his end, still there is another faction that apjiarently wants to hold out 

 Mwaiting consequences. Up to date there hag been nothing of a par- 

 liciilarly encouraging nature that offers any hopes of an early settlement. 



As a result the Chicago trade is still going along in a crippled condition, 

 .ind wiiat lumber is l»ing sold is going to the factory trade. The serious- 

 ness of the development is shown in the excellent reports for prospective 

 liuildings which would have been completed had the mill operators and
