CINCINNATI, O. 



suite in the National City Banlc building. This 

 company has just increased its capital stock 

 from $10,000 to $20,000, which is among the 

 other evidences of material prosperity. 



Wagner & Angell, who for the past twelve 

 years have been located in the Michigan Trust 

 Company building, have secured more commodi- 

 ous quarters in the National City Bank building 

 to w2iich they have removed. This concern's chief 

 business is the wholesaling of shingles, but they 

 also deal in hardwoods, hemlock and yellow pine. 



Stocks of dry Michigan hardwoods are get- 

 ting scarce. The prevailing opinion among the 

 local dealers is that this year will see more 

 lumber moving and at mudi better prices than 

 last year. The trade is all feeling good over 

 business prospects, and usually report a satis- 

 factory profit on last season's transactions. 



The Michigan Retail Lumber Dealers' Associa- 

 tion holds its annual meeting here at t"he Liv- 

 ingston Hotel, on Feb. 7 and 8. An attendance 

 of about 300 dealers is expected. 



On adjournment the association is invited to 

 become the guests of the Steams Company, the 

 sales corporations of the various J. S. Stearns' 

 lumber interests, whose general offlces are lo- 

 cated here, to make a visit to the Stearns' Lum- 

 ber Company's new hardwood plant at Steams, 

 Ky. Quite a delegation will probably accept the 

 invitation, and before returning home expect 

 to spend a day about historic Chattanooga and 

 Lookout mountain. Stearns. Ky., is situated on 

 the Cincinnati Southern railroad, about 200 

 miles south of Cincinnati, and 135 miles from 

 Chattanooga. 



Johnson CSty, Tenn. 



Tile hardwood situation in this locality has 

 recently taken on a very healthy tone. The 

 demand for all kinds of hardwood is quite ac- 

 tive, and stock is picked up closely. Buyers 

 from various points have recently been here 

 and several large blocks of stock have been, con- 

 tracted for future delivery, at prices showing 

 a marked advance. 



Johnson City is growing in importance as a 

 lumber center. The many advantages of having 

 stock assembled at one point are becoming rec- 

 ognized by the manufacturers of this locality. 

 James A. Martin was first to recognize this and 

 he continues to bring ail his lumber into his 

 yard, established here some years ago. 



The J. M. Buck Lumber Company has lately 

 opened a yard in the Carnegie suburb of John- 

 son City, where it will assemble the product of 

 its various mills, located on the line of the South 

 & Western railroad. 



The Harmon-Hamlin Lumber Company has 

 also just opened a yard on the tracks of the 

 Southern railway in Johnson City. This live 

 and energetic company will assemble its various 

 stocks of hardwood at this point. A little later 

 it contemplates putting in a band mill here. 



The Galloway-Pease Company expect to handle 

 through its yard here the principal part of their 

 white pine and hardwood lumber produced at and 

 near Mountain City and at its operation on the 

 Embreeville branch of the Southern railway. 

 At the Carnegie suburb It is accumulating a 

 large stock of poplar and oak, the cut of two 

 biind mills. Quartered oak, white and red, is the 

 chief product of this operation. 



In the near future the buyer who comes to 

 Johnson City in search of lumber can see the 

 stock that he sees without the hardship and 

 May incident to a trip in the mountains.

M. B. Farrin, president of the M. B. Farrin 

 Lumber Company, had this to say in a recent 

 interview regarding the future of the hardwood 

 trade : 



Prospects were never better. Stocks, though, 

 are light, due to the unprecedented drought 

 in Kentucky and Tennessee. Prices in gen- 

 eral are looking up. 



A syndicate of Pennsylvania capitalists has 



made a deal for the erection of a big furniture 

 factory in Salt Lick, near Owingsville, Ky. It 

 is said that they control large lumber tracts in 

 Wolfe, Morgan, Menifee and adjacent counties. 

 Saw mills will be immediately erected and the 

 timber cut and shipped over the Licking Valley 

 railway, which will be extended into the moun- 

 tain territory. 



Rempe & Sons have completed a new saw mill 

 at Oakley, a Cincinnati suburb. 



The E. E. Beach Lumber Company, which was

 Cuba, where he is sojourning, states that busi- 

 ness affairs on the island are in tip-top shape. 



W. C. Davie, a hardwood exporter of London^ 

 England, was here the early part of the month, 

 and closed a number of important deals. Ac- 

 cording to Mr. Davie, 1905 will see a big in- 

 crease in the trade of Great Britain. 



About a dozen local hardwood lumbermen will 

 attend a concatenation of Hoo-Hoo at Charles- 

 ton. W. Va.. on January 13. 



William F. Galle, head of the William F. Galle

 of the Willis act on December 24 and incorpo- 

 rated with $500,000 capital stock. The incorpo-

There were 270 permits issued by the building 

 inspector during December, 1901. with the esti- 

 mated improvements placed at $205,235. This

 has purchased from Lafe Taylor, of Rarden. W. 

 Va.. a 4.000-acre tract of poplar and oak. situ-

 line of the Chesapeake & Ohio railroad. The 

 consideration is reputed to have been $100,000. 



The movement of lumber by rail for the month 

 of December, 1904, as compiled by the statis- 

 ticians of the Chamber of Commerce, was as fol- 

 lows : Receipts, 3.156 cars ; shipments, 4,194 

 cars. For the corresponding month the previous 

 year the figures were : Receipts, 5,672 cars : 

 shipments, 4.407 cars. 



For the year 1904 the movement of lumber 

 in this market fell short over 5,000 cars, both 

 on receipts and shipments by railroad, as com- 

 pared with 1903. Receipts during 1904 were 

 58.471 cars and shipments 47, 308 cars. In 1903 

 64.549 cars arrived and 62,694 cars were sent 

 out. The trade, in general, all things considered, 

 hardly expected the 1904 figures to be so near 

 the 1903 record.
