is a good movement in chestnut. Tlie demand 

 for sound wormy is a littie slow at this time. 

 Ash is stronger and the price is better. There 

 is a good demand for bnsswood. Other hard- 

 woods are unclianyed. 



INDIANAPOLIS 



Hardwood mauufactureis, wholesah^rs and re- 

 tailers report an excellent .spring trade. in- 

 clement weather during the last few days of 

 March slightly retarded business, but conditions 

 are improving again. The veneer mills are hav- 

 ing a big trade. Hardwood prices are advancing 

 in all lines. Plain and quartered oalc is prob- 

 ably in better demand tluin ulher hardw^oods. 

 There seems to be a sufficient supply of hard- 

 woods of all kinds to meet present requirements. 



MEMPHIS 



The dcuiaud Un- liar(lwu<jd lumber is fairly 

 active aud a uiuderale \ulume uf business is 

 under way. Export demand is considered ap- 

 preciably bettei- than that from domestic sources. 

 The general market is lacking in snap, aud 

 there is considerable complaint that buyers are 

 not showing great readiness to operate. How- 

 ever, there is no disposition on the part of manu- 

 facturers and wholesalers here to become pessi- 

 mistic aud tu saci-itiee their holdings, and values 

 generally are pretty well maintained. There is 

 no large surplus of stock and owners of hard- 

 woods see in this condition a factor which is 

 greatly in their favor. The best demand for some 

 time has been for plain oak and red gum. The 

 sales have been ou quite a liberal scale and sup- 

 plies in both are very light. There is a moder- 

 ately active demand for ash in stock from % to 

 i/i inch, but thick stock seems Io be in very 

 limited request. Some business is doing in 

 cypress, while cottonwood is moving in fair quan- 

 tities. Sap gum is in fair demand, but the 

 movement does not come up to expectations aud 

 prices have not improved. The lower grades of 

 cottonwood and gum are being taken care of by 

 the satisfactory conditions prevailing in box man- 

 ufacturing circles. Business lu tue latter line 

 is holding up vei-y well, though there is still 

 some complaint over the unprofitable price being 

 obtained on bos shooks. Veneers generally are 

 in good demand. Toplar is offered in a very 

 limited way in this market, but ready sale is 

 found for what is available. 



CHATTANOOOA 



Stocks here are baaly broken. Wide poplar 

 and quartered oak are not being called for, while 

 the lower grades of oak are entirely gone. Plain 

 oak is in fairly good demand and prices are well 

 lield. The log supply is above the average and 

 stumpage prices are very high. The river is 

 bringing in its usual amount of logs. 



BRISTOL 



Hardwood lumbermen in Bristol report that 

 trade conditions are practically unchanged. The 

 mills are busy and have orders for some time 

 ahead, but lumbermen say that trade lacks that 

 snap and vim that should characterize it. Prices 

 are moving slowly but there is a fair demand for 

 stock, and the lower grades of lumber especially 

 are moving somewhat better than a few weeks 

 ago. There is a general feeling among local 

 lumbermen that trade will pick up during the 

 spring and summer. 



The exporters report that the foreign trade 

 is somewhat more encouraging than it has re- 

 cently been. 



LOUISVILLE 



items on the stock list has shown improvement, 

 and though April started off less actively than 

 March, there is every indication that the month 

 will develop a good volume of business. Quar- 

 tered oak is still somewhat sluggish, but has 

 shown more lite during the past few weeks. 

 I'lain oak is in good demand, and there is un- 

 usually good call for thick poplar of extra 

 lengths. Cottonwood and gum are selling well, 

 anil ash and chestnut are in good call. Prices 

 ale holding steady and some items are consider- 

 ably stronger. Mahogany, due to conditions 

 peculiar to this trade, is in splendid demand, 

 and is selling at rising prices. Veneer manu- 

 facturers are iuisy and report fhi- outlook ex- 

 1.1 lent. 



ST. LOUIS 



While trade has been rather quiet in the St. 

 Louis hardwood market the past few weeks, some 

 dealers have done a fair volume of business. 

 There is a steady call tor all items in plain oak. 

 The demand for thick ash stock has also been 

 fairly good. The better grades of poplar are 

 meeting with a steady sale, while the lower 

 grades are moving only moderately. Red gum is 

 having a steady sale at firm prices. Quartered 

 oak is quiet, but while something is doing in 

 this line all the time, it is not moving as it 

 should. Cypress is in good demand and is of 

 seasonable proportion. Both Louisiana red and 

 Mississippi stock is selling well. As most of the 

 local dealers carry this stock, sales are mnch 

 I'cneflted as a result. 



The spring weather has made trade quite lively 

 in sash, doors and millwork. While the volume 

 of business done has not come up to expecta- 

 tions, there is no cause for complaint, as more 

 business is being done than last year at this 

 time. 



NEW ORLEANS 



Reports from various hardwood centers indi- 

 cate that the volume of orders on band are not 

 up to the average for this season. Prices on 

 practically all hardwoods, especially oak, which 

 heretofore have been very strong, are unset- 

 tled. Improvement is looked for in the near 

 future, as no definite reason can he given for 

 the present condition of the market. 



The stave movement is comparatively quiet, 

 and without new features, while logs still con- 

 tinue to form an important factor of the forest 

 product shipments. 



MILWAUKEE 



Business in the local market is decidedly bet- 

 ter than at last reports. The demand tor all 



The local hardwood trade is showing steady 

 improvement with the advancement of the build- 

 ing season. During the months of February 

 and March the number of building permits is- 

 sued in this city was double the number granted 

 during the same period of 1910, and there is 

 every indication that the records will be broken 

 during April. The demand from the sash and 

 door and interior finishing plants is better, al- 

 though these concerns are not ordering with 

 the eagerness that might be expected, consider- 

 ing the fact that stocks at most plants are light. 

 The hardwood flooring mills are placing good 

 orders and the furniture plants are buying fair- 

 ly well. The scarcity of dry stocks Is causing 

 some anxiety among local wholesalers and deal- 

 ers. 



Birch is in good demand and No. 1 and No. 2 

 common are showing much improvement. Stocks 

 here in this line are almost impossible to secure. 

 Basswood, especially No. 1 and No. 2 common, 

 is wanted. Firsts and seconds in basswood are 

 not so active, except in 10x12 feet, which are 

 wanted by the moulding people. Prices on No. 2 

 and No. 3 are stiffcr and advances are expected 

 in all basswood lines. Oak is firm and maple 

 is in lively demand. Rock elm and ash are a 

 little quiet.
