Lumber.

An active trade in pine and hemlock lumber
is reported 1t is too early in the season for the
hard wood trade to boom. Poplar has ad-
vanced in price. because of its growing popu-
larity for inside finish and porch columns.
Clear poplar gives as good satisfaction IN these
lines as pine, and prices are much lower. Lum-
Der dealers are happy over the bright building
prospects for the coming season, the brightest
for many years. they say. Walnut is again
growing into popular favor, after few years
retirement by the fashionable world.

dullest of the year. The opening price was
$3.50. From this the market rallied to 99c, and

around this price until near the close, when it
dropped to S95sc, which were the final figures.
Trading in puts and calls indicated belief in
a slight improvement, but between this and a
lower level the chances seemed to be about

While this is rather hard on the banks, it is all

that it does not count in the clearings, leading
