lor llii<. Ill iinv iv.ii', luinhiTiiK'n iirr hopeful tliut the movement of 

 ■outhern hardwoods to Kurope will continue. As already iiUKK*'>^ted, the 

 bardwuoil Hituntlon In domestic circles Is Improvlug but export outlets 

 are hi-ces.-ar.v If Iliire Ih not to be n recurrence of somewhat excessive 

 olTerlnKH In Uoniextlc chftonels. 



There has been very little chaDRc In monufarturtng openillons durlni; 

 the past fortnight. Most of the mills heretofore runnloR have been 

 working and, while there ore reports of occasional shut downs, there nre 

 iiIko reports nf other mills being oi^'iied, with the result that the net 

 cliauge Id dally output Is perhaps comparatively small. In some lines, 

 stocks have been npprecliilily rodured hy recent shipments. This applies 

 to red and snp Ktim, to ash nod to walnut. There Is n reasonably ncUve 

 demand reported fitr the higher gradcN of plain and (luurtereil oak, hut 

 Just at the moment there Is coinpariitlvely little call for pinin red and 

 white oak In the lower grades. Ulgh. grade stock Is wanted at about 

 current quotations . The fact that lumber has been moving more rapidly 

 recently Is regarded as an almost certain forerunner of higher prices aod 

 for this reason there Is distinct Indlspohiilon on the part of hardwood 

 lumlicrmen to sell for Inter shipment at p^e^^ent quotations. There Is do 

 douht that the whole market shows a more healthy tone and also that 

 the trade as a whole Is more optimistic than nt any time since the war 

 In Europe- broke out. Some arc predicting an octlve business this fall 

 and winter and practically all believe that there must necessarily be a 

 substantial Increase over the volume of business transacted during the 

 first two or three months after the war in Europe broke out In 11*14. 



=-< NASHVILLE >= 



Business continues of moderate volume with hardwood manufacturers 

 and dealers. There Is a fair demand for oak, and some poplar, chestnut, 

 ash and other Uocs are being handled. .\ feature of the trade In this 

 territory has been the heavy demand for walnut for export to England 

 and France, being purchased for the manufacture of gunstocks by the 

 European allies. All along the railroad lines In middle Tennessee large 

 stocks of walnut logs can be seen, aud shipments are being made with- 

 out delay. Good prices are being paid. The general tone of lumber 

 prices shows little change, large dealers feeling that It would be no 

 material benefit to reduce prices, as buyers arc following a policy of 

 taking only for their needs, and not iintldpating future requirements. 



=■< BRISTOL >= 



Bristol lumbermen report business still dull hut they contlnae sanguine 

 over the outlook. While no radical Improvement Is expected during the 

 comln,cr year, it Is thoujrht that market conditions will be more favorable 

 during the fall. The majority of the mills have been in operation since 

 spring, but It Is not likely that tbey will long continue busy. Yard 

 stocks are considerably heavier as most of the mills have been shipping 

 out probably less than halt of the volume of stock they have cut. All 

 things considered, the hardwood situation is regarded as not unfavorable. 



=■< LOUISVILLE >= 



The improvement in hardwood trade conditions, which has been gradual 

 for several months, has come along a little more rapidly of late, and 

 during the past three or four weeks business has been picking up to such 

 an extent as to create a decidedly optimistic feeling on the part of the 

 lumbermen. They have had to be content with lean pickings for a good 

 many months, and while the volume of business which is now coming in 

 is not up to normal, it is so much better than has been recorded for 

 some time that it has encouraged everybody In the trade. The planing- 

 mills are taking more stock and the railroads are once more in the mar- 

 ket. The furniture trade is the only one which does not appear to have 

 been stimulated lately, and that is expected to show Increased acUvity 

 as soon as the money which the farmers have received for their crops 

 begins to circulate in the retail trade. Fall prospects are regarded as 

 good, for business at large seems to be adjusted to a war basis, and some 

 of the millions spent in this country for war supplies has evidently gone 

 into lumber or lumber products, directly or indirectly. Prices are not 

 much better, but the tone of the market is so much stronger that steady 

 advances may be looked for from now on. 



=-< MILWAUKEE >= 



Signs of the coming fall activity are making themselves felt even at 

 this early date and lumbermen are confident that the trade this fall will 

 be entirely satisfactory. A turn for the better seems to have taken place 

 and more inquiries are being made constantly. Lumbermen expect that 

 the opening of September will see a big increase In business. 



One of the most hopeful signs for a brisk fall trade Is the fact that 

 building operations In Milwaukee are showing an Increasing activity. In- 

 dications are that the total building Investment during 1915 will exceed 

 last year's figures by more than $1,500,000, according to estimates given 

 out by the building inspector. In 1014 the amount expended in building 

 totaled a little more than $10,000,000. Although to date the 1015 expen- 

 ditures are a little less than those of the first eight months of last year, 

 the Inspector says that several large apartment structures and various 

 other large buildings will be in the process of construction before the 

 year is closed. Tbere has been a good gain during each week recently and
