That portion of the lumber trade here which is interested in shipments 

 by water has been stirred during the last week or ten days by the an- 

 nouncement that the United States Government is negotiating for the use 

 of Piers 5 and G on Pratt street, which were constructed especially for 

 the lumber trade and have been used since then almost entirely by it. 

 These piers have sufficient space for 15.000.000 feet of boards, and their 

 availability has been the means of attracting large quantities of lumber 

 which might otherwise have gone elsewhere. The government, it is said, 

 wants the pierS for the storage of canned goods for the army and navy, 

 and is expected to erect extensive sheds. The municipal authorities, 

 while willing to aid the federal officials in every possible way, arc ioth 

 to turn over both piers, and have advanced the alternative suggestion that 

 the government take one pier and the docks along the Jones' Falls. 

 Negotiations are still pending. Of course, the federal authorities have 

 the right to take the piers if the latter are really needed. Their diversion 

 would be of little or no effect upon the hardwood business, which is done 

 mostly by rail, but the matter none the less has a certain measure of in- 

 terest for the hardwood men, . who are consequently watching develop- 

 ments.
