The Hardwood Market 



-< CHICAGO >- 



The possibility of the mark.-l.-i (Umdcd \>y consignments from the over- 

 How territory of tbe South, has concerned tbe Chicago trade greatly In 

 the past couple of weeks. With tbe Increasing seriousness of the flood 

 situation at all Mississippi valley mill points. It bas become more and 

 more certain that qunntltles of hardwood lumber must necessarily be 

 moved to avoid flooding. .Vs a matter of fact a general break was 

 anticipated, but the worst of tbe situation seems to have passed without 

 It materializing and local lumbermen arc showing lncrease<l confidence 

 In the situation and prospect The danger Is not yet passed but while 

 some Impression has been made on the local market, by tlie receipt of 

 these consigned shipments, tbe effect Is not by any means alarming and 

 undoubtedly will not hold for any length of time. The normal conditions 

 affecting demand have shown a slight tendency toward marking time, not 

 taking Into consideration tbe rush shipments to southern mills. But 

 with tbe flood situation to be taken Into account It Is Impossible to 

 arrive at definite conclusions as to the exact promise of tbe Immediate 

 future, at least until those conditions can be eliminated from calculations. 

 However, the general prospect appears Increasingly good, with a promise 

 of unusually active building for the spring and good demand from all 

 consuming Interests.

The hardwood trade is fair at prrsrnt. though not showing much Im- 

 p'rovement over a month ago. Prices are firmer, on account of the shut- 

 ting down of mill" nt 9om.^ <^onthfrn points for lack of logs. Open
