San Francisco Hardwood Market

By C. H. White of White Brothers, San Francisco

The hardwood business in San Francisco is running slightly under in volume what it was last year; however, there is a great deal of optimism and altogether business seems to be steady enough. There have been several recessions in the price of hardwood but it is thought that the bottom has been reached, although of course no one can tell this definitely.

As regards market conditions, however, there is apparently no cause for worry as the underlying factors all seem to point toward good business. Even the business now being done would four or five years ago have been considered very good.
