 under the supervision of the Wisconsin commission. 



Matthew P. McCullough, manager of the Brooks & Boss Lumber Com-

 Wausau. The company during the past year wrote 82 per cent more lia- 

 bility insurance than any other one company doing business in Wiscon- 

 sin. The increase in business during the year amounted to 74 per cent, 

 and during the first four months of this year an increase of 83 per cent 

 over the corresponding period of 1918 was shown. The company has a 

 surplus of $116,873 after paying dividends of $42,721. It invested $75,000

Mentlng & Hickey, Antigo, Wis., sawmill operators and lumber dealers,

 on the ground that Menting & Hickey were not at the time owners of 

 the lumber, but that it has been purchased by and transferred to the 

 ownership of the Wolf River Lumber Company. Judgment was given in 

 full on the value of the lumber as given in a statement made by Menting 

 & Hickey. The statement showed the loss of 266,732 feet of maple, valued

The Hardwood 'Market 



.< CHICAGO >• 



There is plenty of business in Chicago and at sufliciently high prices 

 to keep the local trade satisfied with the situation. No items coming into 

 this market are showing any dragginess, those which a short time showed 

 some tendency to lag having since developed considerably more pep. Alto- 

 gether the local situation is in good shape except for troubles in getting 

 lumber through, but the general report is that such difficulties are gradu- 



— ally being ironed out. 



-•< BUFFALO >= 



— improv 



hardwood demand is about as active as a month ago, with some 

 ement in transportation conditions. Local yards have been receiv- 

 ■ge stocks, the lumber often coming in faster than was desired, 

 ; it necessary to use all the available men in handling it. At 

 ; it is somewhat easier to make shipments to New England points, 

 is impossible to say how long the railroads will remain free from 

 ;oes. For a good many weeks railroads have been moving stocks 

 nl very slowly, with many points not open to traffic at all. 

 general list of hardwoods is holding strong in price and the demand 

 distributed. The leading woods at most yards have been oak, ash, 

 and poplar, while others have also participated to a fair extent.
