KENOsHA AS A LUMBER MAR
KET
WHAT HAS BEEN DONE IN THAT DIREC-
TION DURING THE PAST YEAR.

WHAT HAS BEEN DONE IN THAT DIREC-
TION DURING THE PAST YEAR.
Very few persons residing in Keno
shas have any idea of the growing
magnitude of the lumber interests in
this city, or Of the large foreign trade
that has gradually been developing
during the last two or three years. In
order to present this matter to the peo-
pie in its true light, the TELEGRAPH
reporter this week took a stroll among
the lumber yards and conversed on the
subject with our principal lumber
merchants, and herewith presents the
result of his Investigations to our read
ers. During the year 1877 about 15,-
100000 feet of lumber was received
by the various lumber firms OF this
city. The larger portion of this, about
100000 feet, was received by Sim
mons & Co., 10000 feet by Grant &
Son and the balance by Head & Suth
erland, VIM. M. Harrison and various
smaller dealers. These figures do not
include posts or shingles, of which vast
quantities were received.
During the year just past Simmons
& Co. have wholesaled large quanti-
titles of lumber, lath and shingles to
various cities in Illinois and Wiscon-
sin, principally to Rockford, Belvidere,
Genoa, Harvard, &C., and the the trade
with these points is on the increase.
Grant & Son have also disposed of con-
siderable lumber to Genoa, Harvard
and other outlying towns. The expe-
rience Of the past few years has been,
that lumber can be handled as advan-
tageously from Kenosha, as from
Chicago, and if the projected extension
of the railroad to the harbor is con-
summated the cost of handling will be
greatly leSSeneOs Inc CROWN or our
foreign lumber trade has been most
satisfactory to the parties directly con-
cerned, and cannot fail to be matter
of deep interest to all who are inter-
ested in the future welfare and pros
peritY Of Kenosha. If we ever hope
to attain to any commercial Importance
it must arise from our manufactures
and exports, our opportunities for agri-
cultural trade are limited and our ter
ritory circumscribed, to cur manufac-
turers and merchants therefore must
we look, for on them depends the flu
ture veal or woe Of the city.
