L:ni(le hardwoods are in keen demand from interior finish and trim, furni- 

 ture, automobile body, musical instrument and agricultural implement 

 sources. The low quality hardwoods are showing improvement as indus- 

 tries of the states larger cities show a gradual recovery. Fall building 

 operations are up to expectations and a good business is expected to con- 

 tinue through the winter. A large program has been mapped out for 

 Milwaukee and leading cities of the state which has l«nt a more optimistic 

 :iir to wholesalers future files. The transportation problem is untangling 

 slowly in Wisconsin. All the state railroads have come to agreements 

 with their employes and full forces are working, yet cars are difficult to 

 secure and all deliveries are uncertain. On this account transits are 

 greedily picked up and it is believed that it will be several months before 

 a normal state of affairs can be reported. Grain shipments are unusually 

 low this season because of a slump in prices and this fact has assisted the 

 transportation problem materially, a leading Milwaukee wholesaler de- 

 clared. 



Prices generally are unchanged, but are firm. A few scattered woods 

 have increased — in this class are found all northern hardwoods. Maple for 

 fiooring Is moving in fair quantities, mahogany and ash stocks are show- 

 ing unusual movement at this period, as are hemlock and west coast fir. 

 Sap gum. oak, birch, beech and poplar stocks are low and in fair demand. 



The box industry, a commanding factor in the low grade hardwood 

 market, is showing little improvement and it is believed that until nego- 

 tiations are opened for trade with other nations the box industry and con- 

 sequently the low quality hardwood market will suffer. 



NEW ORLEANS 



The hardwood market situation for the Southwest is showing gradual 

 improvement. Prices are showing upward tendencies in a number of 

 species anil grades, inquiries are coming in a bit more freely than for the 

 latter part of the past month and some relief is in sight in the transporta- 

 tion situation. The car shortage for both inbound movement of logs and 

 for outbound movement of lumber continues serious and actually forebodes 

 ■.•rowing even more acute with the autumn crops pouring into the market, 

 but there has been much relief in the matter of the removal of embargoes 

 out of New Orleans and surrounding centers. 



The .\merican Overseas Forwarding Company reports that its overseas 

 sales are holding up quite well and from other sources also come favorable 

 reports concerning the European haitlwood demand. Bidding for hard- 

 wood lumber with offers of preuiiuui prices in some cases for prompt 

 acceptances and deliveries has been not at all unusual.

QUARTERED SYCAMORE 



This quartered Sycamore is band sawed, 

 edged and trimmed. It shows 35% or more 

 long lengths and good widths. We can 

 start shipments at once and load out good, 

 dry stock. The lumber has been sawed 

 from the log, not resawed, and as we manu- 

 facture it in exactly the same way that we 

 manufacture quartered Oak, practically 

 every piece shows figure.
