The Hardwood Market 



CHICAGO 



Sales of hardwoods io Chicago and the Chicago territory continue to 

 show slow improvement. There has been little increase in the activity 

 of woodworking plants, but they report that business is picking up, and 

 this insures a further movement toward normal demand. Prices have 

 shown a much firmer tendency, though that is still two much spread I>e- 

 tween various quotations on similar items, but suggest stabilization. The 

 Indication is, however, that the downward tendency of the market has 

 been nretty well arrested. The market is still ehiefly a "one car" market.

 time is the great unsettlement of prices. Some wholesalers, as well as 

 mlUmen, are making quotations much lower than their competitors, and 

 apparently are very anxious to deplete their stocks, whether they make 



any profit on them or not. As much as $25, if not more, difference is^||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||i|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||IIIIIIIIIIIIJ^
