more than one-fourth as much
mahogany as there was imported
from North America its average
value per thousand feet was more
than twice as much, due to finer
quality. The remainder of the
imports come from Africa, South
America, and Asia.
Mexico furnished 1872 per cent
of the mahogany coming from
North America, Nicaragua fol-
lowed with 1919 per cent, British
with 1915 per cent, Cuba with s
per cent, and Honduras with IA
per cent. Other Central Ameri-
can countries furnished the small
remaining percentage.
Immediately following the war
with Spain, lumbermen of the
United States exploited the larg-
est and most accessible of the
Cuban mahogany forests. For a
few years the forests of Cuba
contributed more largely to the
supply in this country than at
the present time, largely owing
to the rapidlty with which this
valuable timber was logged and
shipped. An engineer employed
by American authorities during
the recent Intervention in Cuba
claims that nearly all of the
available supply Of mahogany
of that island has been exhausted
and that what now remains In
any considerable quantities is far
remote from transportation ia
cilities.
The number of buyers of ma
hogany in this cOuntry's hard
wood market is now exceeded
only by those of oak, maple,
poplar, Eastwood, ash, birch,
chestnut and cypress. The prin'
cipal reason for the popularity
of mahogany is that the import.
ers of the logs and the manufac-
turers of lumber have never adj
vanced its prices beyond a mod
est profit, and it Is relatively s! s.

THE Peer OF

NEARLY FORTY.TWO MILLION
FEET IMPORTED LAST YEAR.

For refined expression in the
manufacture of furniture and
all other forms of interior decor
alton, mahogany Is undoubtedly
the peer of the hardwoods. No
wood is so universally used today
for this purpose in every city and
country of the world no wood is
so freely and successfully iml-
tated.
Americas architects and men
of the furniture and cabinet
making industries draw heavily
upon the markets of the world In
the struggle to supply an ever
lncreasing demand for genuine
mahogany. Hundreds of tons of
logs annually are imported into
this country and worked into
beautiful forms to grace fine
homes or dignity the interior of
public buildings, large hotels or
railway cars.
A few years ago mahogany was
regarded as very precious
wood, and was employed only In
the interior of the finest houses
and in the manufacture of the
most expensive furniture. Dur
ing the past few years, however,
there has been a wonderful de-
velopment in mahogany import
alton and use,
The total quantity of mahog-
any imported last year was near
lY forty-two million board feet.
OF this large amoHnt North
