The stock of lumber on hand is someWhat in
excess oflsst year, being estimated at sixty million
feet. or this amount probably Ave million feet ID
sold awaiting orders for shipment. The importa-
ton OF Canada lumber, the season past, has been
about ninety million feet, being fifteen million feet
short of the year previous, caused by the high
prices In Canada and the general depression OF
business in the States. In comparison of othor
lumber markets of the country, 1t is believed that
statistics when completed will show that tho bust
mesa of this market has suffered less reduction the
past year than most markets in the country. The
business opens in the new year, with Increase Of
trade and a much better outlook for the future.
The tendency of this with the great relief in the
money market will be to maintain prices firm, with
a possible advance in some grades, which cannot he
replaced at selling prices, with any profit.
