 Vehicle and form Implement manufacturers have come Into the market of

The pattern makers are uslnc much more high-eradc thick poplar nnd 

 there Is n steady call for ash, hlckor}', chestnut, basswood, elm, beech and 

 Cottonwood. The demand for cypress hos shown considerable Improvement 

 leconlly, the call for crating being especlolly good. Ijith and shingles 

 are moving briskly, while tank and silo stock also Is a feature of the 

 cypress market

Lumbermen arc looking for n flno spring demand. Inquiries and plana 

 under way point to a much better business than hos been enjoyed for n 

 long lime. There sccras to be iin easing of the money market. Toledo 

 architects' offices arc crowded with plans for all sorts of new structures. 

 There arc to be some fine new hotels, many factories ore busy building 

 additions and planning for better facilities, while with several new allot- 

 ments open on which hundreds of new homes are planned (one allot- 

 ment alone to have 1.000 new homes the plons for which are made), and 

 woodworking Industries of various kinds busy, the future looks quite 

 roseate. The Willys-Overlnnd .Automobile Company Is planning on turn- 

 ing out 200,000 cars this season, according to announcement. Many In- 

 quiries arc also being received by local hardwood concerns relative tt» 

 supplies for early spring. Many ortlers have been let for railroad equip- 

 ment. Ilallronds ore buying ties and It Is a well accepted rumor that 

 much new equipment will be added to the vorlous roads this seoson. 

 Elm, maple and ash are in good demand here and some oak Is being 

 sold. 



=-< EVANSVILLE >= 



The hardwood lumber mannf:ictiirers r.f Kvan?^\llle ond southwestern 

 Indiana report that January brought in n larger volume of trade than did 

 .lanuary, 1915. Many of the largo sawmills In this section are being 

 operated on full time, although the river mills are not so fortunate, 

 liusiness Is very good at this time and during the past two weeks a good 

 many nice orders nnd Inquiries have been received. Collections are re- 

 ported fair. .Manufacturers arc expecting to do more business this year 

 than they did last. Prices are advancing on certain items. .\sh is as 

 strong as It bos been at any time during the past year and there Is a 

 strong demand for the best grades of oak. Walnut remains at a stand- 

 still, while the demand for hickory is about normal. Poplar Is still 

 dragging and both elm and maple arc in fair demand. There Is a good 

 call for gum, as a great many of the furniture factories are In the 

 market for this kind of lumber. Sycamore is Inclined to be slow. Veneer 

 manufacturers believe this year holds a good many promising things In 

 store for them. Tlie veneer faetories in Kvansvllle are being operated on 

 full time. Plow, wagon, carriage, desk, furniture, table, bookcase and 

 In fact many of the other wood-consuming factories in this city are run- 

 ning full time. Kailroads seem to have entered upon a campaign of gen- 

 eral Improvement and this has stimulated the tie business. Itetall lum- 

 ber dealers say trode Is good and If anything shows an Improvement 

 over February of 1915. Sash and door men say trade Is satlsfactorj' and 

 that their local trade Is especially good. Yellow pine dealers report a 

 fair trade. Building operations, in spite of the bad weather that has pre- 

 vailed during the past two weeks, have been very active.
