Japanese Flooring on Free List 



The Treasury Department at Washington has ruled that Japanese oak 

 is not a cabinet wood, and is therefore entitled to come into this country 

 free of duty. This wood has been reaching the Pacific Coast in con- 

 siderable amounts lately, and comes in direct competition with eastern

 from that country, but most of that now on the iiiiuket comes from 

 Siberia.
