How Lumber Looks

There heve been no rtartling changee in market conditionr in fhe paet two weekr, in fast ttere probably will be no great change now until after the 6rst of the year. Thir time of the year building progrels generally takes a back seat for the Holiday ceremonier.

Qne thing ir absolutely certain (and many lumberrnen are sratr ing their bank rollr on it), thls great rtate of Cdifornia is going to see one of the bert, biggert and boomieet yean next year that she ha"r ever !e.en, rn{ we are all going to benefit. Nothing can rtop the f,ood of people and prorper- ity that will hit the entire Pacific Coart, and naturally tte building industry ir going to g€t itr rhare.

The wholesale lumber market did not go ballooning the day after election, a! many thought it would, but, there har been a steady, healthy rtiffeoing of the lirtr, from No. 3 randoms to tte hrghe* uppers, and the demand har been encouraging. The countr5r yardr have placed a gratifying arnormt of burinesr during the lart half month, and a good nurnber of t[e l"rgo yardr have been in the markeq placing orders, some of ttem for futrre delivery.

One good condition that can be reported b, that there has been a noticeable lack of the frenzied hawking of rmsold stocks, and from reliable authority it ic learned that tte docks are ununrally clean of lumber that har yet to be rold.
