Tbo total bulldlne Invostupnt In Mllwaukrc during the month of Novem- 

 ber Rbownd n KOln of n<-nrly $."«00,000 over the corri'ipondlng prrlod a 

 year ngo. During the month tboro were 270 permits Uiucd for structures 

 to coHt $l,1,'i'.*,fl2.'>, ns compared wltb 2.10 permits and an Investment of 

 $0'l.1.$f«.S durine the BOinc month In 1914. 



The bnrdwood business Is holdlne up well despite the lat"ness of the 

 season. The activity In the bulldin? field has resulted In a stendy demand 

 from tbc sosb .and door and general Interior woodwork mnnufaclurlng con- 

 corns. While the buylnit Is mainly to meet the present requlromonta, the 

 total volume of trade Is very siitlKfactory. An Improved demand from 

 the factory trade In geaornl Is antlclpnte<l after the openlne of the new 

 year. Stocks arc for from large nt most plants nnd after the annual In- 

 ventories ore out of tbo wn.v. most concerns will be willing to order a 

 Utile more freely, especially In view of the fact that there Is n scarcity 

 In some lines of northern bnrdwnods wllb a promise of advancing prices, 

 wltb a genuine sborlnge predicted in birch nml maple. 



Most of tbc hardwood consuming plants In nnd about Mllwnuk«e are plac- 

 ing some fairly good orders. The chair factories ot Sheboygan ond other 

 points arc said to bo operating overtime, while the furniture factories In 

 Milwaukee and elsewhere are buying well and ore experiencing more 

 activity. The farm Implement pl.'inls nil over the state are looking forward 

 to a busy year and are buying well. 



=■< GLASGOW y- 



I.lttle change falls to be recorded In this market, .\rrlvais during the 

 past fortulglit have not been so heavy as they have for some time, and 

 it Is perhaps Jnst as well, as It gives an opportunity to have tbo wharves 

 cleared up a little and so prevent congestion. During tbc past week 

 the arrivals from oversea ports have been practically nil, but this U 

 accouuted for by the fogs which have hung over the rivor for tbc last 

 few dnys. However, the ve.'ssels at anchorngc nt the fall of the bank 

 are not numerous, nltbougb this retards discharge to a large extent, 'be- 

 rause each has to wait Its turn before commencing discharge, owing to 

 the shortogc of labor. The chief Item of note still continues to be 

 spruce deals. It Is somewhat dlfBcult just now to obtain delivery of 

 goods lying on the quay and It Is only from lots which are stored that 

 delivery can be given. This state of nlTalrs has continued for some 

 time now and Is duo to the harbor nccommodnllon — so far as where 

 deals are discharged Is concerned — being so severely taxed that deliveries 

 arc somewhat dlfBcult. Tbc prices for deals rise from day to dny, and a 

 slight lull has been experienced In selling, owing to the difficulty of get- 

 ting buyers to pay the prices askcd. 



The S. S. "Kallmba" hns arrived from New Orleans nnd contains the 

 usual assortment of American hardwoods. There Is a dockload of pitch 

 pine logs with wblcb It Is understood no progress has yet boon made. 

 Staves to the extent of a quarter of o million are also on board and 

 ■ onslst of the various classes. The "Kylemhor" from Mobile arrived ten 

 ilays ago, and contains pitch pine logs and deals, oak planks, Btaves 

 nnd a large consignment of ash containing 1,700 logs. So far discbarge 

 lias not been completed but only some of the a^h logs that have been 

 seen are good ; others are fair. It Is a mistake to have so many coming 

 in at one time, as It causes buyers to be much more critical In their 

 inspection. Prices for ash logs Just now rule about 4 shillings per cubic 

 foot, while In Liverpool It Is reported as much as 4 shillings 3 pence has 

 been paid. 



Tbc oak market for some time has been only moderately fair, altbougb 

 prices are good. Selling Is conflncd only to the lower grades, an occa- 

 sional sale of prime or first quality being made. The Import cost la so 

 much against buyers that stored stocks arc easily disposed of even at 

 the advanced figures. The S. S. "Livonia" arrived from Quebec with 

 spruce and birch deals for Glasgow and timber for Greenock, consisting of 

 oak, elm, waney boardwood and birch. Some fair lines have been sold 

 from Glasgow portion, while it is reported a fair line of elm and blrcb 

 lias changed bands at Greenock. Freights still continue in tbelr upward 

 flight and chartering I* very difficult.
