Mr. Foreman tells us the impression he gained was that prices would re¬ main steady for the present, with very little downward tendency. There were two Government representatives in at¬ tendance at the convention and it was explained that it was not the intention of the Govemment to unload its im¬ mense reserve stock of lumber in a manner that would interfere with the lumber trade, but would probably dis¬ pose of it through wholesale dealers. There is also to be an increased de¬ mand for building material abroad, which combined with the demand from
