the mud banks above Fort Dearborn to the dockingof the North and South branches for many miles forthe accommodation of the yards was of first import-ance to the growth of the city as a commercial center.It paved the way for the introduction of the numerousindustries and shipping facilities that crowd thestreams far out toward the city limits north, souand west. At .the maximum stage 0 the wholesalepine yard business-about 1886-there wet" fortyyards in this city that received lumber by the' cargo,assorted, graded and stored it, and shipped by thecarload to all points in the country. It was thegreatest wholesale lumber market in the world. Itspossibility was depende It upon a combination ofresources and adaptabilities that were never else-where equaled and probably never will again beequaled. There was the immense pine growth ofthree states accessible to lake navigation, by whichmill product was transferred to the yards of thedealers, a vast prairie country to be supplied withlumber, and railroad systems sufficient for the dis-tribution of stocks to any part of the country.Besides the wholesale yards there were numerous

retail ones that supplied the local demand at pricesnot much in advance of the wholesale rates. Thislocal market was the cheapest in the country, whichwas a great aid to the growth of the city and thepromotion of its wood manufactures. This ampli-tude and cheapness of the local supply promoted agreat industry in the manufacture of doors, sash,blinds, moldings, boxes and other things made frompine lumber. By 1885 there began to be considera-able southern pine brought to Chicago, and it enteredinto yard stocks to an increasing degree. Nowsouthern or yellow pine is an important factor in thelocal supply of timber and lumber, having takenthe place of northern pine to a large extent. Withinrecent years the fir, cedar, spruce, white pine andsugar pine of the Pacific Coast have come in as com-petitors of the other woods, while red cedar shinglesfrom Washington have to a large extent supplantedthe pine and white cedar shingles of the nearbystates.As earl) as 1885 there began to be as large a devel-

opment as .rmerly of the hemlock trade in this city.There had oeen a good deal of hemlock used for thefoundation of cedar block pavement, but it had notbeen much used for building purposes in the city orfor shipment to the country trade . The use of hem-

lock gradually increased as the supply of pinediminished, until it is now the main dependence forthe frames and boarding of buildings of the ordinaryclass, both in the city and country.The decline of the northern pine supply and the

substitution of southern and Pacific coast woodshave wrought great changes in the Chicago lumbertrade. The wholesale white pine business has de-clined while the sale at wholesale and retail of south-ern and Pacific coast lumber has greatly increased.When receipts of northern pine at this point began todecline after 1892, in which year 2,250,000,000 feetwas received, i~was thought that this city as a lumbermarket had reached its zenith. But that conclusionhas been proved to have been a mistaken one. Thisis seen in the fact that receipts in 1906 totaled2,355.589,000 feet, or an increase over receipts in1892, the previous banner year, of 105,589,000feet.This increase in recent years from the low ebb of1895-6can be accounted for by the great enlargementof local consumption. In the times of white pinesupremacy from 60 to 75 per cent of the lumberarriving came in by the cargo, was stored in thewholesale yards and was thence. shipped out tocountry customers. At the present time, though localconsumption has overreached the shipping featureof trade, this market continues to hold a commandingposition as a wholesale market for distribution tooutside points. Of the 2,355,589,000feet of lumberreceived in 1906, 1,301,967,000 feet was locally dis-posed of, while 1,018.861,000feet was shipped. Thuslocal consumption exceeded shipments to the extentof 283,106,000feet. In any event Chicagomust con-tinue to be a great lumber market.The white pine and "Noway pine industries of

Michigan, Wisconsin ar--l Minnesota have resulted inthe accumulation of great wealth in the hands ofstumpage owners, mill operators and lumber mer-chants. A large share of this capital has been con-centrated in Chicago. To a large extent it has beena factor in the establishment and maintenance ofseveral of the more substantial banks of the city,several lumbermen having for years been directorsand managing officialsof leading banking institutions.It would be nes rly impossible to reach anything likea correct estimate of the amount of capital directlyinvested in the Chicagolumber business at the presenttime. Besides the numerous local yards, planingmills, box factories and other woodworking establish-
