REAL ESTATE. THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTO SOFTWO0D TRADE CONTINUES GOOD Current Business Not Active, But Held Better Than When Month Opened. The improvement noted in softwood trade last week has continued, and though current business is not active, 1t is a good deal more o than at the beginning of this month, says the American Lumberman, Chicago. One reason for the recent improvement is that retail yards, after the very ac- tive trade they have enjoyed this spring and so far this summer, have reduced stocks tc a point where re- plenishment has become necessary. Another reason is that many fear a more or less severe car shortage when ecrops begin moving, and are begin- 3ning to place orders for fall needs in order to escape delivery troubles later on.
