With all this Knin In Renernl lumber movement, there hna lM!en Utile enfn 

 In iiuotiitlonK. I,nmhermen hnve not kept up with the generftl trend of 

 Ihe nmrk't, niid for that ronaon prlceB. with the ■•xceptlen of yelUw pine, 

 liayc rcmnlni'ii prnctlcnily stnilonnry. However. It la iiredlcliMl thtil from 

 now on then will be n cindiinl tendeniy toward better prieea. Iti'i'orta 

 from the Soiilh nre similar to the local condltlonH. A boom hardwood 

 market Ik npiiannl. yet lumliermin seem rather unwllllnK to accept the 

 ^iiiiilen upwarrl .novement aa genuine. 



The rea.son for this npnthetic reception of better condlflona on the part 

 "f the lumbermin was their disinclination Inst aprlni; nml Hiimno'r to alock 

 lip. .Stocka both at the mllla nm] In the hands of the ultimate conaumera 

 are In bnd shnpe. Yards hnve not on h.ind near their normal supply. 

 The Kupiilles In the hnnds of the consumers hnve been low for aeverni 

 months. The manufacturers throuRhout the Ohio valley and a little 

 further south have Utile If any «nrpliis stocks at first hnnds at this wrillni; 

 .ind there Is a scramble to srab up most anythiuK that Ik put on the 

 nmrket. Tile volume of business belns done In the territory nliove referred 

 lo Is fr.r In excess of anything for over a year. Sticks In the blc aouthern 

 hardwood centers are very low, with the amount of business IncreaalnK 

 rapidly. This has a direct effect upon the Cincinnati market. Inasmuch 

 as It prevents any Inrce shipments from that section lo the Ohio vnllcy 

 to relieve conditions there. 



The demand for Ihe various hardwoods is distributed pretty evenly 

 thiouKhoul the list, while the sources of consumption have not chanced 

 wllliiii the Inst few w>eks. The railroads which came Into the market 

 in Seplemiier still are heavy consumers, their rush work on track main- 

 tenance and for general repairs ot eriuipment poiiiL' on npnce. with no 

 signs of any diminishing in Ihe near or even far future. The crop reportu 

 by the government liave had a licneficlai oflTect and hardwood people are 

 getting their share. 



The li'.illding business continues and from present indications the amount 

 of work done this fall will exceed Inst year's mark nnd even that of the 

 fall of ini.'f. It is predicted that the building operations of ini.'i in 

 Clncliinnti will prove Ihe largest In many years. The automobile factories 

 ale ordering with reg.iiarlty, the only apparent change being that volume 

 is gaining. 



Tile l)ox business is enjoying a season of uniisuni prosperity. The call 

 from tlie manufacturers of sash, doors and blinds is naturally keeping 

 pace Willi the heavy demand from the builders. The flooring factories are 

 reaping liinellts from the building operations and in many cases the mills 

 are hard put lo meet demand. 



Iletaiiers nre buying with more regularity and greater volume than for 

 many months. The furniture manufacturers l)uy steadily in rather small 

 lots. This business Is regular nnd may be relied upon, but there Is no 

 indication of expansion in the volume of business. 



The country yard trade Is beginning to be the basis for the heaviest 

 demand for cypress. The country trade has been the sorest spot In the 

 market ever since Ihe general Improvement started In with the advent 

 • ■f fail. Iiut the strengthening of cypress In the rural districts is indicative 

 of a revival of building operations In the smaller towns. 



Oak continues lo be the lending seller, although there is little to choose 

 from three or four others which nre very active. Plain oak picked up 

 ronslderably Inst week, while the quartered stock continues to move along 

 In nn easy manner, with the furniture people the chief pushers. Walnut 

 still is bought in satisfactory volume by manufacturers of higher grade 

 furniture. Poplar and gum arc close up to oak for the honor of leading 

 tie- pojiularlty INt.
