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.
