As predicted in a previous letter, the price of pulpwood is on the upward trend, and at the expiration of all existing contracts the American mills will be called on to pay higher prices than the pres- ent. The farmers are now asking from $2. to $3. higher for their wood and the brokers naturally will be compelled to add the higher price for the wood they sell to the American mills under prospective new contracts. Quebec shippers of pulpwood to American mills are meeting with the same difficulties as the lumber firms in regard to transporta- tion. They find it almost impossible to get the service of cars and, in consequence, unable to ship the wood required to fill their con- tracts. The day is not far distant when the American paper mill interests will be obliged to come into Canada to establish their mills; that is, if they will depend for their supply of wood on Cana- dian forests, for the demand at home will be so large that there will be little left
