Higher in Des Moines.
Des Moines is the only city in
which lumber sells at higher price
than in Omaha, $48 per 1000 feet.
( Tacit admission that lumbermen
are doing business at an excessive
profit is interpreted in the statement
of one of the leading lumbermen of
the city, that his company would
consent to a Is per cent decrease in
the price of lumber if all the other
lumbermen in the city would do
the same.
Moshier Colpetzer, president of
the Chicago Lumber company, is
behind a movement to arrange a
conference of local lumber dealers,
where such proposition will be
made. If the lumber men cannot
agree on this per cent, other propo-
sitions will be considered.
