 prospects as wi'l! :is the more rapid disposition of yard stocks in rccfiit 

 wofks. 



The Langlade Lumber Company of Antigo, Wis., has opened four camps 

 in the vicinity of Pearson. In addition it will receive the injjut from n 

 number of jobbers' camps. All of these operations are practically on a 

 normal basis. The planing mill at Antigo is in continuous operation and n 

 large force is employed in the yards. It is believed likely that the opera- 

 tion of the sawmill will be resumed soon. 



The Holt Lumber Company of Oconto, Wis., expects to place its sawmill 

 at that point in operation on January 1, 1922, contingent upon improve- 

 ment in the railroad situation and a continuation of the betterment now 

 noted for several weeks in the general demand for lumber. The readjust- 

 nient of freight rates on logs reeently made at Chicago will not affect the 

 Holt company's operations, as this concern, like other Oconto lumlier 

 industries, have no stumpage in the Ontonagon district of tTpper Micliigan. 

 from which the reduced rates are effective. 



The Sever Anderson Logging Company has sold 10.000,000 feet of logs 

 located near Tipler, in Forest county, siding S3, to the Michigan Iron. 

 Laud & Lumber Company, owned by Henry Ford of Detroit, for delivery 

 between now and September 1, 1922. Ordinarily these logs would have 

 been brought to Oconto for sawing by local mills, hut largely as the result 

 of unfavorable freight rates they will be directed to the Ford mills at Iron 

 Mountain. Mich., it is stated. 



Lucius Andrew Tarrell of Darlington, Wis., for eight years chief exnm 

 iner of the Industrial Commission of Wisconsin, and for a brief period 

 attorney for the Lumbermen's Mutual Insurance Company at Chicago, hjis 

 been appointed a member of the Wisconsin commission to till the vaeaney 

 eaused by the resignation of Thomas F. Knoop of Green Bay, Wis., whose 

 term expires June 30, 1923. The salary is $5,000 a year. 



Elwood J. Bade, president of the Crescent Chair Company jind sales 

 manager of the Plymouth Furniture Company, both of Plymouth, Wis., was 

 married October 24 to Miss Viola Servis of Oshkosh, Wis. 



Glen Wood Priestley, president of the Priestley Lumber Company, 97 

 Wisconsin street. Milwaukee, and widely known in the wholesale hardwood 

 and general lumber trade of the North, was married October 29 to Miss 

 Bernice Mack, formerly of Stevens Point. Wis. 



William Weeks, Racine, Wis., prominent in the lumber trade of Wis- 

 consin and heavily interested in mills in Tennessee, has recently acquired 

 a 200-acre farm adjacent to his extensive stock farm property in Lincoln 

 county, Wisconsin. This gives Mr. Weeks an aggregate of 800 acres. He 

 has been devoting his farm to rearing blooded Hereford cattle, but now 

 intends to engage extensively in hog raising as well. 



The Hackley-Phelps-Bonnell Company of Phelps, Wis., is making arrange- 

 ments for the reopening of its sawmill and already has decided to do woods 

 work on an extensive scale in the coming winter. The decision is the 

 result of substantial improvement in the demand for lumber of all kinds, 

 fsppcially hardwoods, in the last few months. 



The Hardwood Market 



CHICAGO 



The Chicago hardwood market Is now more active and wideawake than 

 it has been at any other time since the paralysis of depression set in. 

 Both industrial and retail buyers are back in the market in large numbers, 

 demonstrating the old and well-established logic that no considerable 

 amount of buying is ever done on any but a rising market. Prices of 

 both southern and northern species are advancing, and in the past fifteen 

 days have probably scored an all around increase of from .$5 to $10 the 

 thousand. Oak, birch and gum are in especially good demand, due to the 

 efforts of flooring and furniture makei^ to cover their needs. While the 

 chief, strengthening is, of course, in the upper grades, the possibility that 

 the No. 3 stock may follow the upward course is shown in some large orders 

 that have been placed for box lumber. If the activities of the box makers 

 should result in a few more large orders the lower grades would enjoy a 

 substantial increase, it is believed. The holders of hardwood stocks, as 

 for some time past-* are In a very independent frame of mind and are 

 refusing to book orders for shipment at dates beyond the first of the year. 

 Some students of the Market are even predicting that we may have another 

 runaway market, such as existed through 1919 and part of 1920. They 

 maintain that present conditions are almost exactly similar to those which 

 immediately preceded the whirlwind advance of hardwood prices in 1919. 

 However, it is not believed that general economic conditions will permit a 

 duplication of this event. 



Ni:W YORK 



All items In the hardwood line are going up. Price advances since the 

 upward turn, starting a few weeks ago, have averaged from $10 to $25 a 

 thousand feet. That there will be still further Increases Is considered cer- 

 tain by a majority of the New York dealers. The consensus of opinion of 

 a score or more leading New York hardwood dealers this week shows
