The hardwood lumber mnnufncturem of Bvnnarlllc and nouthcrn Indiana 

 have had a good volume of biialnesH during the preacnt year. For n 

 few montliB of the year traile drngg.d and It looked na If the volume of 

 business might fnll behind thnt of l'.)14, but during the pnat atx montba 

 thtnga have been more lively and hardwood men here have hnd a larger 

 business than during the year previous. Moat of the uptown mills have 

 operated pretty stendlly, but the river mills hnvc not fared so well, 

 though thoy nre running on better time now. The outlook for 1016 Is 

 flattering, nnd most of the wood consuming factories are busy. Collec- 

 tions nre good and Inquiries nre coming In nicely. I'~armers In tbls sec- 

 tion have just finished gathering one of the largest corn crops on record 

 and this has put a great deal of money In circulation. 



Prices on the best grades of hardwood lumber arc holding their own, 

 and In the opinion of some manufacturers there will be a sharp advance 

 on some grades during the next few weeks. Owners of yellow pine lumber 

 yards report that their business this year has shown a healthy Increase 

 over that of 1014. liurlng the past two or three months trade has 

 been on the upwnrd grade. There have been some advances on the 

 prices of yellow pine recently. Sush and door men report that their 

 local business has been good practically all year and their out-of-town 

 trade during the past six months has shown a nice Increase over the 

 corresponding period ot Inst year. Furniture maniifncturers report an 

 iDcroaso ot about twenty-flve per cent over that of Inst year. All the 

 large furniture, chair and table, as well as buggy nnd wagon factories 

 and plow plants, are running on good time and expect to start the New 

 Vcar with a full force of men. Trade in the South and Southwest has 

 been Improving steadily for the past several months. Veneer manufac- 

 turers are busy and have enough business to keep them running several 

 months. Cooperage manufacturers are only fairly busy now. The slack 

 barrel plants enjoyed a big run for several months during last fall, 

 making barrels to supply the bumper apple crop In this section. 



=■< NASHVILLE >= 



Conditions continue to show nn Improved tone In the hordwood market. 

 There has been no material change, but the gradual trend to a healthy 

 volume of business continues, nnd manufacturers and shippers are well 

 pleased with the situation. Prices are very strong for lumber, and an 

 upward trend of prices Is expected on account of the moderate stocks 

 that arc held. There Is a good demand for plain oak. The railroads 

 are asking for liberal quantities of oak, and It Is not easy to supply 

 the demand for some lines. Poplar is In fair demand, and chestnut, 

 blckory and asb are moving. 



=-< KNOXVILLE y 



General conditions In the Imrdwijod trade lliroughout this section are 

 improving. Both manufacturers and yard men state that business for 

 November and December was far better than it has been for the last 

 eighteen months. Quite a few large orders have been placed for plain 

 oak, and at a small advance in price. 



All stocks are badly broken and the production at this season cannot 

 possibly keep pace with the shipments. Low-grade poplar and basswood 

 are scarce. Plain oak seems to be the best seller, with quartered white 

 oak, poplar and basswood all moving well. 



It is the general opinion that there will be an exceptionally good trade 

 for the first months of 1010. The only drawback with the yard people 

 will be the scarcity of stock. 



=■< BRISTOL y. 



nardwood lumbermen of this city and section are very much encour- 

 aged by the recent improvement In the lumber market and the prospects 

 for further and more rapid Improvement. The opinion Is general among 

 the lumbermen that trade conditions In 1910 will be very fovorable to
