Lumber interests in this clly and vicinity arc marking time, pending 

 further developments In tbc general liuslurss situation. Tiicre is not 

 very much doing at present and, with business generally rather slow 

 and with considerable uncertainty regarding further legislation, together 

 with the approach of the midsummer season, the prospects are not 

 bright for any material Increase In lumber transactions. It is rather 

 striking, however, that, with all the dullness, there is practically no 

 liessimism. Most members of the trade, on the contrary, arc rather 

 disposed to anticipate that there will be a decided change for the better 

 with the beginning of the fall season. It is pointed out that Congress 

 will have adjourned by that time and that antitrust legislation will have 

 been added to the acconn)lishments of the present administration, thus 

 eliminating what has been a source of much confusion and uncertainty 

 in the business and industrial, as well as the financial situation for 

 some time. It is likewise emphasized that the railroads will know by 

 that time what the fate of their appeal for higher nitcs will be. The 

 decision of the Interstate Commerce Commission is expected almost any 

 day now and the idea prevails that relief in some form will be given the 

 carriers, thus increasing the revenues of the latter and placing them In 

 a much better position, making it possible for them to undertake improve- 

 ments and extensions heretofore left undone because of restricted re- 

 sources and also putting them in po.sitlon where they may materially 

 Increase their equipment. These two features, the attitude of Congress 

 and the decision In the rate appeal, are regarded ns the two most 

 important factors just ahead and hardwood lumber interests are making 

 no cfTort to conceal the fact that there will be n feeling of grateful 

 relief when these issues are settled because the disposal thereof must 

 necessarily have a most important bearing on the business of the 

 country in general and therefore upon that in which they are them- 

 selves engaged.
