line Indfeatlon of linpi-.tvrd IiusIih-hs roiidlllons is that b-adlnK con 

 sumers are now lakiUK adrantn),'c of bargain olTerlngs to stack In their 

 yards what they couslder to be cheap lumber. In other words. Ibey 

 believe tlmt the turning ot the ways has been reached, and from now 

 on higher prices will be paid for luiuber. Conseiiucntly they arc not 

 overlooking, any bets when It comes to picking up attractive lots of 

 slock that arc being put on the market. The general tone ot the situ- 

 ation Is stronger. Prices nre continuing to strengthen, and some sharp 

 advances are reiiorted. Common oak. which has been selling at very 

 low prices. Is strengthening considerably, sales (. o. b. the Ohio river 

 at better than $.'J0 having been reported lately. The whole list of plain 

 oak Items is picking up, and It seems that the surplus stock ot this 

 material, which depressed prices for a time, has been disposed of, and 

 that quotations from now on are more likely to represent Intrinsic 

 value. 



■i ST. LOUIS >•- 



The hardwood situation has not changed materially during the past 

 few weeks. It Is holding Its own remarkably well under the clrcum- 

 stauces. Thore seems to be a slightly bitter demand, but thi're Is much 

 room for Improvement. While orders continue to come in regularly, 

 they arc invariably accompanii-d with the request to ship immediately. 

 This is an indication that slocking up has not yet commenced. There 

 is every prospect that there will be considerable buying before long. The 

 items most ini demand seem to be oak and ash In the higher grades. 

 Poplar Is selling fairly well. Gum is also In fair request. While the 

 factory trade is fajriy sulistaetory there is not the demand from this 

 source that tlierc should be. Orders now coming In are mostly for Im- 

 mediate use. liiiite a business irom the railroads Is reported and there 

 seems every prospect that there will be .in Increase from this source 

 shortly. Prices have not changed much, although there is a little stilTen- 

 ing reported on those items most In demand. Imlieatlons of a better 

 business are very encouraging. 



^-< MILWAUKEE >= 



'iue iuci'casod activity in the Milwaukee l,uililing field is one of the 

 brightest features in the local situation. During the month of August 

 llierc were SiT permits grauted for structures to cost ?l,07:t.07l), as com- 

 pared with 304 permits and an Investment of $673,729 during the corre- 

 s|joiidinit period a year ago. This meant a gain of nearly $4U0,000, a rate 

 of increase which Building Inspector \V. D. Harper Is hopeful will be 

 maintained during the next two months. The first eight months ot the 

 year made a good record and the building inspector is confident that the 

 total investment for the year will show a good increase over 1914. 



Gradual improvement in the local hardwood trade is reported, while 

 Ihe outlook is bright for even better tilings during the remainder of 

 September and the month of October. The sash and door factories are 

 buying fairly well and arc busy getting out special work. Stocks carried 

 by the sash and door and general interior woodwork concerns have been 

 light for so long that even a slight improvement in business received by 

 these ccncerns means the placing of better orders for hardwood. The 

 demand from the other factory trade seems to be a little stronger. The 

 furniture manufacturing concerns are ordering a little more freely. The 

 farm implement plants in Milwaukee and about the state are coming 

 into the market altiiough a better business from this source Is looked for 

 a little later in the season. 



.Tobbers say that dealers about the state are taking considerable In- 

 terest in the market and are placing some fair sized orders, although 

 the buying from this source is not quite as brisk as might be wished for. 

 Jobbers have been urging upon dealers the necessity of placing their 

 orders early while shipping facilities are unhampered and before the big 

 grain movement has taken all the available cars. Considerable building 

 seems to be going on in the smaller cities and towns and in the country 

 districts cf Wisconsin. 



Hardwood Uooring is in brisk demand. Birch and oak for interior 

 finish are also-wanted. Low-grade birch and cull grades In other lines 

 seem to be .in better demand.
