first I have attended. Now an overproduction ranging from 33 to 40 p
cent is the only trouble with the trade. This results in sales without g«
I find most of them with low stotfes. I attribute this to the unsettled fe

J. W. Cnandlcr, Houston: "The lumber trade is only fair. Good ..

Oscar S. Tam, Orange; "The volume of trade is large and inquiries4
are more active than for some time past. The feelipg about prices is v«
unsatisfactory. This is caused by overproduction,, and brings on a cc
tion which will have to adjust itself in the evolution of fradé.
C. G. Gribblc, Manning: "The trouble with the lumber trade is
fact that there is.more lumber being produced than sold. The sas

S. Amsler McGregor: "It has been awful dry; is still dry; too

plenty of rain to make business brisk." ' ' |
