SOUTH BEND 



Market conditions in South Bend, Ind., remain unchanged, with the 

 exception that the manufacturers are less inclined to cut prices than at 

 any time since the decline started. 



FAS grades in all hardwoods have stiffened up but the lower grades 

 remain about the same. Scattering business is reported but some of the 

 largest buyers are putting out "feelers" offering orders at certain prices 

 which would indicate their stocks need replenishing. 



MEMPHIS 



The York Lumber & Manufacturing Company announces that its depart- 

 ment for dressing, resawing and manufacture of lumber into flooring and 

 other fabricated materials will be in operation early this month and that 

 it will have a capacity of approximately 20 cars per day. Its mill work 

 and other departments will not be completed under 60 to 90 days, but these 

 will be placed in operation as soon as they are ready. 



The Memphis Hardwood Flooring Company is placing its plant on a 

 50 per cent basis this week. It is going to continue on this basis for the 

 time being, but will put its other machinery to work as soon as market 

 conditions justify. This firm reports the sale of more hardwood flooring 

 during March than during February, while its February business was sub- 

 stantially larger than that for January and December. It therefore 

 regards the increase in demand as cumulative. This company has had its 

 plant practically out of commission since early last fall. 



The Kelsey Wheel Company reports a steady increase in the number of 

 men being employed at its plant for the manufacture of spokes and other 

 wheel parts for automobiles. It resumed operations with a small num- 

 ber of men February 28. Today more than SOO are employed. The man- 

 agement takes the vie\v that the outlook is good, as automobile plants are 

 resuming operations in various centers. It anticipates a steady increase 

 in demand for wheels and wheel parts. It is not operating its plant for 

 the manufacture of automobile bodies and no time has been set for resump- 

 tion thereof. The wheel plant is consuming upwards of 100,000 feet of 

 ash per day. 



Fire, which broke out in the rear of the plant of the Arkansas Hickory 

 Company, Memphis, engaged in the manufacture of axe handles, damaged 

 this to the extent of $7,500, according to estimates made by the manage- 

 ment. 



The Mobile & Ohio and the Columbus & GreeneviUe Railroads — the old 

 Southern Railway in Mississippi- — have announced the withdrawal of the 

 proposed flat rates between stations on these lines on logs, bolts and other 

 rough material. This means that the net rates now in effect on such 

 materials will be continued. 



The Southern Hardwood Traflic Association has filed request with the 

 Interstate Commerce Commission for suspension of proposed tariffs ad- 

 'vancing rates on lumber from Memphis to Chattanooga 6 cents per hun- 

 dred pounds. The advance, if allowed, will also affect lumber moving from 

 western points to Chattanooga, via the Memphis gateway, in all cases 

 where there are no through published rates and the movement is on com- 

 bination. It will likewise apply on all lumber moving from intermediate 

 points to Chattanooga on the Southern Railway between these two 

 centers. 



LOUISVILLE 



W. R. Willett, of the W. R. Willet Lumber Co.. local jobbers, is expected 

 hack shortly from New Orleans, where he attended a pine lumbermen's

 Burdette. Miss., has been delayed somewhat, but will probably start rut- 

 ting about April 15. 



At New Albany, Ind.. the Kahler Company, operating a hardwood wood- 

 working plant, now manufacturing automobile parts, has resumed opera- 

 tions after a close down since the holidays, having received big onlers 

 from the Ford Company, for parts for 280 autos daily. 



The Knox Hardwood &. Mfg. Co.. Barbourville, Ky., has been chartered 

 by Thomas Hubbard, J. M. Cole and W. R. Lay. 



A verdict for W. P. Brown & Sons Lumber Company, I*ouisviIle, was 

 returned by a jury in Judge Field's court, after two hours of deliberntions, 

 following a two-day trial of a suit of the Kahler Company, New Albany, 

 against the Louisville concern. The Kahler company alleged breach of 

 <ontract. holding that it contracted for a quantity of lumber at $28,675, 

 that it was not delivered, that it was purchased on the open market for 

 $(12,750, and sued for a balann' of $34,075, representing the alh-ged loss 

 on difference. However, the Kahler company could not prove its con- 

 tentions.
