Another Advance in Prices.
F-c= the Northwestern Lual

4 largely attended and interest
ing meeting Of the lumber dealers
Of Chicago was held al the Lum-
berman's Exchange on Thursday
Of this week. The situation in the
woods ST all points contributing to
OF competing with Chicago, was
fully discussed, eliciting the fact
that 70 date not more than 20 or
. per cent. Of the usual amount
Of logs has been secured. As one
section of country after another
came under consideration, the
statements were uniform to the eff
fec. that there was no snow, little
stock in, plenty Of mud, and work
almost at a standstill at al points
with the sole exception of the Ne
nominee river, which was reported
as enjoying a fair degree of snow
and ice, with work progressing adj
vantsgeously. The meeting was
unanimous upon the question of
sustaining the present prices with
such slight advances as are noted
in our market report, but the feel
ing Of the meeting was strong in
the sentiment that q general ad-
vance was inevitable in the near
future.
On this point also q most i'm
portant step was taken in the
adoption Of a resolution inviting
the lumber manufacturers and deal
ers Of the Northwest as far east as
Saginaw, Toledo, Sandusky and
Buffalo, the shores of Lake Hu-
ron and Michigan, Wisconsin, Min
nesots and the Mississippi to st.
Louis, to conference in this city,
on the 4th day Of February. The
preamble and resolution were as
follow:
WHEREAS, The present situation
of the lumber business in the
I Northwest seems TO this meeting
/ TO be such as to warrant not only
the maintaining of prices, but an
immediate and positive advance in
the same, and,
WHEREAS, Such advance car
be best made and sustained by the
concerted action of the entire
trade, therefore,
I RosOlred. That a committee o.
five be appointed by the chair tC
communicate with the wholesale
dealers and manufacturers Of the
Northwest and to perfect arrange
ments for an early meeting Of The
trade for this purpose.
Adopted unanimously.
The chair appointed as sucl
committee Messrs. T. W. Harvey
A. A. Carpenter, W. f. Kelley, b
F. Ferguson and /. K. Hamilton.
The committee met at once upor
the adjournment Of the meeting
and appointed A. n Hitchcock
. Secretary Of the Lumberman's Ex
change, As secretary of the com
mittee, and instructed him to pre-
pare q circular inviting al lumber
men Of the northwest to partiei

PLANTING AND GATHERING

AND GATH EREN ~
The sower scattereth DER the void

But ere summer DAYS are old
He shall gather sheaves of gold.
The gardener in the garden fair
Bulbs and cuttings here and there

Shall marvel at the flowers rare.
And we-what is that we sow?
Or do we plant at all or no?
Shall one golden wheat ear grow?
Shall one little blossom blow?

with commercial and business men
and companies; that we claim and
confidently assert that if we could,
and should consummate our under
takings, it would rebound IN ben
eits to business and other classes
equally with the agricultural that
they and all should aid us, "as we
work for ALL" We do not claim
that the annual crops belong to
the husbandman alone, but admit
it to be common property, be,
longing to all who work or serve
the community, either physically
or mentally, and each is entitled
to claim il proportion to the value
of the services rendered, but no
more; and We deny the right OF
those who neither work nor serve
to any share at all.
No matter how much conflict
there may be between the agrl-
cultural class and interests and
other classes and interests in other
States and countries, still it is safe
to say there IS and should DO none
| in this State. No enterprise
based upon capital, commerce,
trade, manufactures, or transpor-
tation, has yet reached such mag
nitude and power in this State as
to sensibly cause it to directly an
tagonize the great and fundamen-
tai interest Of agriculture, and'
whenever it is attempted, it is by
those who, failing to realize and
understand the interests they rep
resent, are tempted by inordinate
and selfish greed and aggrandize-
ment to a course that is not en-
dorsed by judgement or approved
by conscience. Then let US in
vite and appeal to the sense and
! wisdom of the leaders of all classes
and interests to join and aid
US in devising and inaugurating
plans and schemes that will re-
7ive and foster the languishing
agricultural interest Of the State
and country; JOIN US to influence
and cause more consideratc and
friendly legislation and action,
both State and Federal; aid US to
remove some Of the too many
heavy and unjust burthens with
which agriculture is now so loaded
as to crush and stide it. Then
will it soon revive and prosper,
conferling sustenance, profit and
happiness on not only those i'm
mediately engaged in it, but also
on all Of every class and interest.
May your session be harmon
ious, pleasant and fraternal may
your wrk be so we'll and wisely
done, and it's fruits so sweet and
abundant a. to entitle you TO the
praise and thanks Of those you
represent, and cause you to be
glad that you are here.
