liHliaiiii, xiiithrrn lllinolK and western Ki-ntucky diirliiu the past lwf» 

 weeks. While miiHt of ilie larei' hardwuiid plants are ninnlim on good 

 Ilnie, there Is not a rush In onli rs. and tliere la n dullness and apathy 

 alioiit the triKle that the ninniifiu tur<-rs dn nut like. Inquirlrs have not 

 liecii niiiuerniis diirliiK the past inniitU and In some seelionH trade has heeii 

 extremely dull. When n.sked alimii future prospects, one of the Iiest 

 known hardwood hiinhet- maniifailurers here replied, "There an^ no pros- 

 pects at this time." The eX|Hirl trade Is dull, and In fact few Inquiries 

 conoernlnir export trade have been received hero durlnc the past few 

 weeks. Walnut continues in very ;:nod demand now, due In tile fart 

 tliat a groat deal of this luuilier is wanted al>rcad. It Ih expected that the 

 demand for walnut will remain e:<">d until after the war has closed, and 

 even then a great deal of walnut prnhahly will continue to be exporteil. 

 .\sh Is In fair demand on tlie local market, hut "nothliiK to brag abnuh" 

 to use the words of a manufacturer here. Poplar has been dragging for 

 some time and docs not show any signs of picking up any way soon. 

 Quartered white oak and plain oak are moving slowly, as they have been 

 for some weeks back. Hickory has not grown any stronger since last report 

 and sycamore Is not very brisk, although some of the so-called river mills 

 here have been handling some sycamore. Ixigs are coming In freely and the 

 prices remain lower than they were this time last year. The lumber 

 manufacturers have not, however, been buying logs In any conslderabli' 

 numbers owing to the uncertainty of the lumber market that has prevalleil 

 ever since the first of the present year. A great many of the logs use<l hen- 

 come from western Kentucky and Tennessee but log men arc not getting 

 out as many logs as formerl.r owlug to the slackened demand for them. 



•'When is trade going to pick up?" was asked one of the best known 

 lumber manufacturers here a few days ago, and his reply was : "Nk 

 living man knows. Conditions arc uncertain and the war In Europe Is 

 in a large measure responsible for the state of business In the T'nited 

 States. I believe things will move along about like they have been for 

 several montlis to come and after the war I believe trade In all lines in 

 the United States will Improve." Collections are only fair now. Banks 

 liave plenty of money and It is easy to get loans on good terms. 



Building operations In Evansvllle and rurioundlng country are only fair 

 at this time. While tliorc is considerable building going on In this city. 

 contractors and architects say It Is not us live In their line as It has been 

 in previous years. Almost every kind of building material here is cheaper 

 than it was this time last year. Planing mills continue to run on pretty 

 good time. Sash and door men say their oOt-of-town trade has been 

 dragging for some time but that their local business has been very satis- 

 factory for the past several weeks. Building material men say tbingx 

 could be a good deal better, yet their trade for June compared very 

 favorably with the corresponding month of last year. 



A great many of the wood consuming factories of Kvansvllle are being 

 operated on practically full time. It is especially true of the furniture 

 and chair factories. Plow factories are running on good time and buggy 

 manufacturers report a very good trade at the present time. Veneer 

 manufacturers say the year, up to this time, has been as good as last 

 year. Box manufacturers expect a rush In trade during the watermelon 

 and cautoloupe season, the last of .Tuly and the early part of Augnst. 



-< MEMPHIS >•- 



Lumbermen here have learned with iiiueli interest of the settlement 

 of the strike In Chicago, which involved (Airpenters and other workers, 

 as well as the leading handlers of building materials. This strike proved 

 a rather serious linndieap to manulaetuiers ami distributors of hard- 

 wood lumber at Mcmplils for the reason that the latter city ships a 

 great deal of hardwood lumber as well as lumber products to the former. 

 It is anticipated that the settlement of these labor disturbances will 

 materially increase the amount of business done with Chicago in the 

 near future.

Conditions in tlte local huniw"... miirket have beeu fairly satisfac- 

 tory, coming up to the expeclatlons of dealers and manufacturers. Some 

 oi the large Arms report a volume of business for the first half of this 

 year as large as Tor the same period last year, while others have fallen 

 short fifteen to twenty-flve per cent. Dealers are optimistic, and are 

 confident of the ultimate stability of lumber as a profitable holding. 

 There has been a considerable curtailment of production, and as stocks 

 are being constantly redueed, it will not be long until It will become-
