The Hardwood Market 



CHICAGO 



Thero has been a niarkrd improvement in th«* movement of hardwood 

 lumber on the Chicago market during the past fifteen days. This better- 

 ment, however, has applied chiefly to the upper grades, and the lowers 

 4ontinue to be a source of aggravation to the mills. Local sash and door 

 factories are taking good (luantities of stock. In fact, 'the indnstries 

 manufacturing for the building trade are most active in buying on this 

 market. The furniture people continue to buy conservatively. Autonm- 

 bile industry buyers are showing a little more activity. While there has 

 been no marked change in prices, rhey have enjoyed a firming np at their 

 current level. The flimil situation in I.u»th the Northern and Southern 

 producing field-; has hail a Tioiireal>ly liullish effect on the Chicago market. 



BUFFALO 



The hardwoud trade is showing a little iniprovement, mostl.v as the 

 result of a larger amount of building activity. The industrial plants are 

 not doing any large amount of buying but are continuing the plan of 

 taking stocks as needed. Some slight increase in this branch of the trade 

 has taken place, and the situation is a little better in the low grades 

 than it has been for some time. Prices generally are on a better basis 

 than some months ago. 



Birch is one of the woods which has picked up considerably in the past 

 few weeks, while oak is also in fair demand. Chestnut and cypress are 

 being bought to a fair extent in the building trade. The volume of build- 

 ing is ahead of a year ago in many localities and this should result in a 

 fairly large amount of hardwood trade this spring. Flooring has been 

 selling steadily for some time past and in good quantity. 



BOSTON 



Business generally here is on the mend. Improvement, however, is ver.v 

 gradual. There is some improvement noted in all lines. The general 

 situation is more sound. Kut the improvement in demand for finish has 

 not been as great as the current accounts of improved building had reall.v 

 made dealers hope for. and the furniture business has not improved as 

 much as business a few weeks a«o j,'ave promise of. In the piano trade 

 there is a gradual improvement shown, and the hardwoods .vards are 

 finding business getting better right along. There is nuu-e business with 

 and inquiry from the railroads. Export trade is still dull. The chair- 

 makers are taking a little more, but business with them has uot really 

 yet resurrected to any extent. 



BALTIMORE 



Progress in the hardwood trarle in Baltimore. Md.. continues to be 

 rather slow, though the trend is undoubtedly toward more satisfactory 

 conditions, with the inquiry on the increase and the stocks of lumber 

 offered none too large. In fact, little of an expansion in the movement 

 would be required to bring about a nmrked stiffening in the quotations and 

 disclose perhaps a positive shortage in the assortments of lumber at pro- 

 ducing points. Hardwood men report that orders are still by no means 

 easy to get. many of the users holding off as long as possible and per- 

 mitting their selections to run exceedingly low. It appears to be the
