BULLETIN 909, U. S. DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE. 



In Table 12 are given the average wholesale prices of walnut lum- 

 ber in various markets, based on actual sales for the years 1908 to 

 1912, inclusive, the only years for which these data are available. 

 These figures show a steady increase in the price of firsts and seconds 

 grade for these years. 



Table 13 gives the prices of 4/4 firsts and seconds, of 4/4, 6/4, 

 and 8/4 No. 1 common, and of 4/4 No. 2 common, from 1912 through 

 the first half of 1920, in different markets, as published by the Lum- 

 bermen's Bureau. These figures show a general rise in price, par- 

 ticularly since 1915, and a marked rise since the middle of 1919. 



For comparison with other native cabinet woods, Table 14 was pre- 

 pared from the same source. It gives prices of walnut, red gum, 

 plain white oak, and birch, and uses 4/4 No. 1 common, at Chicago, 

 as a basis.

 by States, for different years.
