LuMBER INSPECTION.
hlessra r. K. Blckfora l. TO. received the re-
recently sold by the Chicago Lum bermens Board
OF Trade rulea Of inspection. Tho aaes wero
made to test tho aforementioned rules, aud, as
compared to tho Michigan inspection and actual
choice humber, Which was sent hero for the OK
press purpose, Of trying the Board Of Trado
ru!es, sold under them at $1,000 for common,
$1,000 for selocts aud $34.0o for clear,-an aver
age OF s1e.67 por N fest,-whils by the Michigan
would have averaged $23.79 por m It. Tho other
cargo sold at S7.U0 for culls, $1,000 for common,
24.00 for better grales. averaging, by tho Board
OF Trade inapeotion $3.50, aud by actual yard
buyer $4,000. The same cargo would have
brought $12.60 straight measure.
Az has bean Rtated before. the SELLERS do not
object to system Of inspection proyiaed it ia d
just ono, The Michigan inspection, the ono
would be unobjeotionable, but tho Board OF
Trade rules arc claimed to ba unfair as llustrut-
ed above, being too rigid. It would be impossi-
bio for tho Wholesale manufacturers to sort and
as tho retail dealers do and It Ia therefore noe
esaary to have moro elastic syBtem Of inspoc-
tioR.
The rules adopted last season wore satisfac-
tory, but not nHod to great oxtent, sucs trad-
Ing by straight measure generally was preferred.
II ia thought that tho cl.ef object is to compel
the manufacturers to soil at the mills by State
inspection, and thus make It necessary for many
country dealera who have patronizel the whole
sale market to resort to tho yards as formerly.
Perhaps to dlspsnao with the n,iddlemen, which
might eventually lead to q reduction in tho pro-
duction Of lumbor.
At tha adjourned ,aoetiug Of tho members of
tho Lumbern1ens Exchange, hold this afternoon.
the following resolution was passed unnui-
mously;
That the scllora OF lumber In th.q market ars both
willing aud destro to aell Lumbar by ipsryctou Of
qualities. proyillng that ruloa for the inspection oan
be Put n force TINT Will do justice to the seller as we'll
a the buyer.
