The Hardwood Market 



< CHICAGO >-: 



The Chicago market In common with other Important conaumlDK point* 

 In awakening In .ill linen. Even the moat conserviitlvc membera of the local 

 trade arc admitting that there Is apparent a conalatent semrnl <ipenlng up 

 of demand and n better tone of prlcet?. Local railroad purehaaln^ offlcea 

 ;iro placing orders much more actively than they have been for a good many 

 months. Kvcry day there are reports of new orders of large dlmenalona for 

 cars, tics and other railroad equipment, and the aggregate volume of lumber 

 that will go Into the new construction Ik going to bring relief to a good 

 many overcrowded mill yards. 



The yellow pine sKuation conttnueii to show Improvement and the raise 

 In price In the pine market has had some effect on the demand for competi- 

 tive woods. In hardwoods the yard trade Is taking a greater Intereat In the 

 nlTerings than It has for some time as the building situation locally la to 

 fair shape, and stock Is going Into flnish and other lines. 



The factory trade, especially In the furniture factories. Is excellent, al- 

 though considering the activity among the factories themselves. It Is not 

 quite up to what It might appear to be. The reason for this is that a good 

 deal of lumber has been taken up In purchases here and there during the last 

 few months, these purchases aggregating considerable quantities of hard- 

 woods. However, the factorj' yards arc not by any means overstocked and 

 at present rate of operation, it will not be long before there will be pre- 

 sented a combination of a really good demand for factory products, with 

 broken stocks of raw material. 



=-< BUFFALO >• 



The hardwood trade is lioklin!,' steady and a ialr volume of business 

 was done durlni; October. It Is generally agreed that business in October 

 was considerably better than several months ago. The demand Is stil! 

 largely from Industries which have war orders, but other lines of business 

 have begun to show some improvement. The scarcity of cars at tho inlil.5 

 is a main fentnr" of the market and results In some stiffening In prices. 

 Shipments are not being made with the same dispatch as a short time ago 

 .nnd car scarcity is expected to become serious within the next two months. 



Among the woods most In demand are plain oak. maple, ash am? birch 

 and there is a 2ood deal of thl.A stock wanted nowadays, as has been 

 the case for several months past. Automobile and other vehicle factories 

 are taking a good deal of stock and are paying a good price for It. More 

 strength has bein developing In plain oak lately, and the better grades of 

 ijuartered oak are gettlnc firnuT in jifi<e. tboneb the furniture trade Is 

 reported below normal. 



■< PHILADELPHIA > 



ilardwood Hade In tlii.> city is inoving alone with snap and dasb. 

 Improvement is reported as general, the volume of trade having Increased 

 materially while prices have advanced. The retail yards arc busy, the 

 boom In bulldins construction helping to swell the amount of business. 

 Many of the yards are buying now for the Increased and anticipated needs. 

 Local men arc taking no chances on car shortage. Poplar and chestnut 

 have strenglhencd in demand. Maple flooring, basswood. ash and gum are 

 sbowlne price advanrrs. Plain and quartered oak. birch, beech, and all
