Fir Rail Trade Has Firm Orders In Fair Volume

During the past week .the territory east of Chicago has apparently awakened to the fact that the Middle West is buying fir lumber rather freely and it in turn is coming forward with firm orders in fair volume. Heretofore the eastern dealers and yards have been inclined to test the coast market by frequent inquiries rather than the placement of actual orders.

It seems evident that so far as the rail trade is concerned line yard and country ward buyers generally consider the time has come to place orders. Quick shipment, however, is being demanded in the majority of orders.

Taken as a whole, the volume of business both for rail and water shipment is now up to a satisfactory level and the next step will be first, the firming of prices and then soon gradual advancement.-4l Bulletin.
