 liinihprnipn and the fpal eflfcct upon the cypress market Is nulllflpil to n 

 Inrge extent. The country demand Is featured by the smnllness of the 

 orders and the peremptory dpmnnds for quick delivery nnd thp rapidity 

 with which tbpse country denliTS repeat their light demands. This 

 Indicates badly depleted stocks nnd something of a lack of confidence. 

 ripvplopment.s In the factory trade are shaping themselves slowly, with 

 prices firm and a few advances, nithougli the general condition of the 

 cypress market does not warrant much of a gain. 



•< INDIANAPOLIS > 



The prevailing belief among tlie retail lumber dealers Is that there 

 will be greater demands on tho hardwood market this season than at 

 any time In the last four or five years. Retailers declare that estimat- 

 ing in practically all lines of construction work Is heavier than during 

 the corresponding period of lOl."! when Indianapolis established Its record 

 for volume of building activities. Many lumber dealers believe that 1916 

 may present even greater demands for hardwoods and lumber of all 

 kinds. These predictions are of particular significance when considered 

 with the announcement ot the city building commissioner that the value 

 of buildings contracted for during the first fifteen days of the current 

 month was greater than nil of the buildings for which permits were 

 issued during February of last year. There has been a steady demand 

 for hardwoods. Indiana hardwood manufacturers, especially the fur- 

 ulture manufacturers, are enjoying an unusual period of prosperity.

Til.- ^itiiaiinn r'>:iir'liiig lictli tli.> wholi.siilc and riull luinlHriiM ii in 

 southern Indiana is one of cncounii^pment and It is believed there will 

 be a. good spring demand for lumber. February, in spite of rains, snows, 

 and Inclement weather, has proved to be a very good month nnd many 

 of the large mills have been operating on good time. Inquiries nnd 

 orders have come In well and manufacturers say the outlook for future 

 business could be no better. Collections are reported very good at this 

 time. The crop outlook Is promising. It is not believed that wheat in 

 the lowlands lias been seriously Injured by the overflows. I'rlces on the 

 best grades ot hardwood lumber are holding firm and there Is still a 

 tendency to advance on certain Hems. The demand for all grades of 

 oak lumber is strong and many of the other grades of hardwood are 

 In better demand than they were two or three weeks ago. Manufac- 

 turers here report that there Is still a scarcity of logs but this scarcity 

 has not as yet interfered wltli the milling operations and It Is not 

 expected to. Walnut lumber Is still slightly olT, the bottom baring 

 dropped out of the market some time ago. 



Building operations arc active and things are shaping themselves for 

 a busy spring. .Vrchltects are drawing a great many plans and contractors 

 expect to be busy after the first of March ; pinning mills are active and 

 in the main opi rating on full time. Itallroads continue to buy tics In 

 liberal quantities. Most of the wood consuming factories in Kvansville 

 continue to operate on full time. Trade In the South and Southwest 

 remalus good, according to reports received by the wood consuming 

 plants In Evansvllle. .Sash and door men report a nice picking up in 

 I'lisiness diiriii'.: tin- imst TiKintli.
