The demand for hardwood lumber continues fairly good in this market, 

 with the manufacturer of flooring standing out as the heaviest buyer. 

 The most noticeable increase in demand is for No. 1 and No. 2 common 

 oak, which has caused a stiffening in prices. None of the wood consuming 

 industries outside of the flooring plants Is making any large purchases. 

 The buying policy remains hand-to-mouth, the orders being for one to 

 three cars in most instances. In the meantime there is increasing evidence 

 of the shortage of upper grades, while the lower grades do not seem to be 

 accumulating in tile same proportiou. The furniture makers are buying 

 somewhat better than the piano and other lines just at present. Hard- 

 wood lumbermen here are hopefully watching the outcome of the aunounce-

 ably be cut an aggregate of $400,000,000. They expect this to bring about 

 an immediate cut in rates on lumber, which they firmly believe would soon 

 cause a marked increase in demand.
