The Hardwood Market 



.< CHICAGO >-^ 



There Is a good deal of improvement in the Chicago hardwood situa- 

 lion. with oak probably showirg the greatest advance in demand and 

 th'- greatest steadying of values. The situation Is viewed by local men 

 as promising for the next few months at least, as the improvement seems 

 to be based on genuine liettering of bu&iners conditions, with a good deal 

 of building going on and with the consuming factory yards practically 

 out of stock and in tbe face of a fairly good demand for finished products. 



Gum has shown somewhat of an improvement, although nothing of a 

 startling nature. There is a steady call for tbc usual run of birch, 

 particularly for interior work, as a good many buildings are approaching 

 the completed stage and are ready for installation of mill work. 



.-\s Is true of any big market which offers a dumping ground for un- 

 desirable stocks, Chicago, as tbe largest lumber market in the world, is 

 still feeling the effects of the efforts of those who are long on certain 

 items to decrease their holdings. But on the ordinary run of lumber 

 where this condition is not so clearly felt, the price level is steadying 

 perceptibly, although It still refuses to show an advance of a note- 

 worthy character. 



On the whole the situation is much better than it has been, and un- 

 doubtedly will continue toward a greater steadying of values and more 

 consistent inquiry and purchases. 



=-< NEW YORK >.=

 ing in larger volume than was the case two weeks ago, and tbe trade 

 generally is of the opinion that the demand will be rather even for 

 some time to come with the tendency toward a greater volume rather 

 than otherwise. It is heard often that mill supplies are not overplenti- 

 ful and good grades not easily found. This may or may not be so. but
