From the Tradesmen.
Here are some interesting statistics
concerning the wholesale prices of pine
lumber in the United States, during the
last fifty-two years. In March two years
ago, a resolution was adopted in the U. S.
Senate, authorizing the committee on
finance to ascertain in every practicable
way the effect of the tariff law upon the
imports and exports, the growth, develop
ment, and prices of manufactured articles
at home and abroad. 1t is believed that
the facts and statistics contained in this
report are more comprehensive and salts
factory than any other similar statement
heretofore collected.
