HARDWOOD RECORD 



47 



Hitter Lumber Company, says there is a good demand for hardwoods lioth 

 from manufacturing plants and the retailers. The volume of business is 

 as good as could be expected and better than last season at the corre- 

 sponding time. Prices are holding up well and no weakness of any con- 

 sequence has dereloped. The car supply is not troublesome at this time. 



Manager Hodil of the Virginia Lumber Company says the market is 

 spotty at this time. In one section there is a pretty fair demand and 

 it is slow in other places. He says the car shortage is not bad, although 

 it is expected that it will grow worse soon. 



Secretary Benbow of the Sowers-Leach Lumber Company says trade in 

 hardwoods is holding up well and prices are well maintained. Stocks are 

 not plentiful in any section. 



L. B. Schneider, sales mannger of John K. Gohey & Co.. fays trade 

 is good in all varieties and grades of hardwoods. He says it is still too 

 early to look for the natural fall increase in the volume of business. 

 Prices are ruling about the same and no weakness has appeared. 



J. A. Ford of the Imperial Lumber Company says trade is fair with his 

 concern although some shipments are delayed by the car shortage.
