One of the things to be remarked in hardwood circles is the growing use of Philippine woods. Heavy importations are being received in this market right along and Philippine woods are becoming an increasingly important factor in the hardwood business.

An outstanding event is the purchase by J. E. Higgins Lbr. Co. of the stock of Cadwallader-Gibson Lbr. Co. and also of the stock of E. F. Niehaus & Co' This amalgamation should tend greatly toward the stabilizing of conditions in the hardwood business, especially in Philippine woods. Ted Higgins is to be congratulated on his move.

White Brothers have recently enlarged their' yards and are bringing in heavy shipments of Philippine hardwoods to'take care of the demand.
