The iMiuthern yellow pine situation ha.< mnterlully Improved recently and 

 we fet^l that prices tnilay on this wottd .'iveraKe $2 a thousand better thnn 

 they did sixty days uro. This Improvement Is due to n number of reasons. 

 First, the mills of the South have accepted orders for Inrtie quiintltles of 

 nouthern yellow pine for e»nort use. Second, the car situation Is hecomlni; 

 serious with theni and they are hnvlUK considerable trouble making pr.iiiipt 

 shipment on account of shortage of (nr.<. Third, many of the mills that 

 have i>een shut down for six moi.ths to n year .-ir.' preparing to resmiie 

 operation at an early date and we hnv lnr<irmnlion In our possession which 

 loads us to believe that the Improvement referred to Is permanent. 



We are glad to note discussion which has Just taken place In regard to 

 our weekly bulletin, (ts wc believe this service is better and more reliable 

 In regard to market conditions thnn could be obtained by the membership 

 through any other channel. It certainly Is preferable to receive this In- 

 formation each week, enabling us to know what the prevailing prices are. 

 rather thnn by a report from your committee every three nionths. 



.\nother situation that we think Is going to Improve the condition of hem- 

 lock Is a subject that will he discussed n llltle Inter during this meeting. 

 namely, the abolition of a resawed graile. which is "an unknown quality." 

 Your president has asked mo to suggest some remedy for this evil, or an 

 affirmative petition, instead of calling .attention to our misconduct in the 

 past. Wc have no suggestion to make In this respect except to urge the 

 adoption of the petition presented which will enable us to sell our Inch 

 lumber the same as we do any other tbiokness. on a straight grade.

HIIKT M.M'I.K 



The demand for soft maple Is rather limited: llkewlKo stocks are limited 

 as the production is not heavy. The present indications are that No. 2 

 ■ omiuon i.nd belter would be worth from |22 t.i $24 at the mill. The 

 riKiulrements. however, are largely for 5/4, »/< and 8/4. The No. a com- 

 nion would be worth about |9. 



AHn 



The ash supply Is very limited. The soiling price, however. Is largely 

 controlled by what other woikIs will bring that are used for similar pur- 

 poses. Til.' present selling price for ash Is from $.'.(i to |.i:i for No. 2 

 common and better on cars. Ash on grades Is worth about $44 for first 

 and geronds, $:<2 for No. 1 common, $2U for No. 2 nnd $12 for No. :). 



OAK 



Ited oak has become so scarce within our territory that It Is rather diffi- 

 cult to obtain figures as to Its Input or price. On grades we should esti- 

 mate it to lie worth about $4.'i. $28 and $18, or No. 2 common and better 

 $;2K to $30 and No. I! common $12.
