Chicago Lumberman.


A manufacturer writes to the Lum.
herman that he will hold his stock of
lumber until he obtains his asking
prices. Such is certainly his privilege,
and We do not object in the slightest.
We certainly desire that lumber bring
fair pricc-such one paid by the
consumer. or user, rs will, when equil-
ably divided among the necessary fac
Iurs in Production, manufacture, trans.
purtati"n, etc, insure to each Just
aud sufficient r"c"mprnSr for the MA
teria supplied, "r service rendered.
The owner of the land should have n
fair price for stumpagc, the InggcrN
should be sufficiently paid, the saw
mills must be run AT IA reasonable
profit, the jObber is entitled to recOm-
pensr for his heavy risks, the railways
must tie paid Tor their services, and
the retailer hc rewarded for his labor
1t must be- understood from this that
there must bp no initiation of fictitious
prices to start with. 1t seems tu MS
that there are manufacturers who take
an unreasonable view of the situation.
The country is not on the threshold uf
II boom. On the contrary there is II
gradual settling of values, There is
no panlcky feeling, but former prices
ana demand tended to overproductl"n,
and now the reaction is being felt 1t
