 iDKiire an adequate supply. 



The Knceland-.McLurg Lumber Company of Phillips is pushing work on 

 the construction of a new sawmill at Morse, which is the central point 

 of large tracts of hardwood and softwood timber actjuircd some time ago. 

 The company has about two or three years' timber sui)ply remaining at 

 I'hilllps and will then transfer the major operation to Morse. The new 

 mill will be ready to start cutting logs by early fall and the capacity will 

 l)c gradually increased until the operations at Phillips come to a close. 



The Dlekmann Manufacturing Company ot Green Bay has recently filed 

 amendments to its articles of incorporation, providing for an increase In

 facturing and repairing logging, saw and planing mill and general wood-

CHICAGO 



The demand for hardwoods in this market has undergone quite a notice- 

 able improvement during the last fifteen days. Furniture factories and 

 other users of higher grade hardwoods are getting into the market to 

 cover their needs, fearing lest the shortage of FAS stocks may soon make 

 it impossible to secure what they must have. The increasing scarcity of 

 FAS grade of all hardwoods, both northern and southern, is causing a 

 flrming ot prices, even to No. 1 common. Flooring, sash and door and 

 box factories are buying. 



BUFFALO 



The hardwoo<l demand is a little more active than a few weeks ago, but 

 trade is far from being as brisk as it sometimes is. The chief optimistic 

 feature of the situation is that distress lumber is getting off the market 

 and wholesalers think it will be still less a factor a few weeks hence. Con- 

 cerns which have been making a specialty of such stock for the past few 

 months now have a good deal less than formerly, and they are not making 

 as low prices as a month ago. 



.■\t the same time there is lack ot strength in most woods, with a good 

 many sellers looking after the same order oftentimes, and the consumers 

 are dlsposcMi to shop around much more than formerly before purchasing. 

 No very active market is looked tor in the near future, as it is said that 

 business conditions will have to right themselves still further before there 

 Is likely to be any big trade developing. Some increase in the flooring 

 demand has developed and building seems to be slowly increasing in this 

 territory. 



BOSTON 



It is unfortunately a fact that improvement in the hardwoods trade in 

 this city and in New England is not what the trade had hoped for and 

 expected. But that there is an improvement as each week goes by and 

 that the market is constantly getting a little firmer are facts of which 

 there can be no doubt. While improvement is not as great as was hoped, 

 the fact that there is a growing increase in trade satisfies hardwood people
