Trade conditions In this section are somewhat Improved and the 

 lumbermen are unanimous In the opinion thnt business will now crow 

 v.ipldl.v. It is venernlly IhouKht that the outlook for the lumber Industry 

 is more encournBin^ than for a long time past. Yard slocks In this 

 section arc heavy, due to the fact that many manufacturers have held 

 their stock rather tlian sell It at prevallinf; prices. A larger movement 

 of stock la expected with the Increase In prices and the prospects for 

 further advances nnd a seneral stflTenlnpr of the demand for stocks of 

 all kinds 



=-< LOUISVILLE >= 



Increased demand for hardwoods, with smaller stacks ready to ship, 

 has had such a bullish elTect on the market that prices have been 

 advancing In many directions. Con.sumers arc now Dndlng out what has 

 been predicted for some time, that many hardwmid ilemg are acarce, and 

 the pressure on the market In regard to supplying them has naturally 

 shoved up prices cousiderabl.v. CJum has been the subject of a sensational 

 rally during the past niimlb, most all grades and thicknesses having shown 

 -tibstantinl advances in price. Manufacturers of gum, some of whom had 

 'liscontinued making It on account of low prices nnd large stocks, believe 

 I hat correct price levels have not yet been reached, and It is certain that 

 if the present strong demand remains In elTect, still further nilvnnces may 

 he expected. Ash has also continued strong. Large conlracis for ash 

 placed some time ago were not covered l).v purchases In every instance, 

 It .'leems, and some of those who have obligations to deliver material are 

 llndlng It hard to niiei; their requirements at satisfactory prices. Tbt 

 demand for ash for war purposes, coupled with the big domestic demand, 

 has been more than sulllclent to mainlnln prices at a normal level. 

 Chestnut Is nicking up also. Onk has not made the gains scored in some 

 other lines, but plain oak has shown strength, and sales are being made 

 at better prices. Quartered oak Is also steady, with prices firm. Taken 

 nitogcthcr. the hardwood trade is much stimulated, nnd business Is looking 

 ;;ood.

The hardwrpod t-ltoatitin is som. what h.-nr r than it was and shows 

 signs of (■till fiirlhir Improvement. Most of the items on the list are in 

 fair request but buying Is still rnlher light and in small quantities and 

 not nuich for future needs. Trices are strenglhcnlng, with Indications of 

 advancement on items most In ilemnnd. There is a rather good demand 

 for oak and prices are strong. T'lnin oak In particular Is In fair demand.
