 ■*■ hardwoods have always held the 

 choicest farm lands. The best growth of 

 timber as well as the best yield of wheat 

 comes from good soil. TTie soundness of 

 the log-ends shows that they fed on the 

 fat of the land. My

comes from the same soil

The Hardwood 'Market 



-< CHICAGO > 



The apparent abundance of cars bringing in shipments of hardwood 

 lumber is the leading feature of the situation locally at present, this con- 

 dition having been gradually developed of late weeks until now practically 

 no complaints are heard as to quantity, at least, of car supply. Move-

 this feature has ceased to be one of as great concern as it was a number

So far as the demand for hardwoods is concerned the factory trades 

 and lines catering to building are still slack in their usual lines of com-

 But even at that the call for hardwoods for regular commercial purposes 

 is fairly satisfactory under present conditions. Prices are still very firm 

 and altogether the .situation is eminently satisfactory.
