=■< MILWAUKEE >■- 



Judging from the liulldini: nctlvlly. lumbermen ought to meet with a 

 good business this spring. During the first two months of the year the 

 total building Invirlment aniounte<l to $.■?,! S7.S.S7, representing a gain 

 of nejirly $'2,500,000 over the corresponding period in 1015. During 

 Feliniary 175 permits were Issued for structures to cost $75S.900, as 

 compared with 1.1.S permits and an Investment of $350,0,1-1 during the 

 same period a year ago. Reports from retailers indicate that there will 

 be murh building activity in the smaller cities and towns and In the 

 country districts nliout the state. 



The Improvement In the factory demand for luml^cr Is still one of 

 the features of the situation In Milwaukee. Wholejwilers report that 

 liuslness Is decidedly better than at this time a yejir ago and they are 

 looking forward to a busy season. Sash and door factories are buying 

 more freely and the chair factories arc exceptionally busy and placing 

 some good orders for stock. Furniture manufacturers are busy and buy- 

 ing plenty of stock. The farm Implement plants In Milwaukee and aiiout 

 the state have been preparing for a busy year and are turning out more 

 machinery than in si'veral seasons, with the result that they have iieen 

 In the market for considerable hardwood stock. The local box factories 

 are l)usy, resulting In a better demand for both low and high grades 

 of hardwood. 



Indications are that there may be a real shortage of hardwood stocks 

 by the time the building season Is at Its height. Even at this time, the 

 available stocks of dry hardwood are none too large, particularly In 

 birch and maple, which have been In active demand. Basswood stocks 

 are also becoming pretty well cleaned up. All lines of northern hard- 

 woods are holding firm and prices have been advanced In several grades. 

 The shortage of southern woods is naturally adding strength to northern 

 woo<Is. Persistent reports are coming from the northern Wisconsin 

 lumlier country that the logging output will not be so large this season 

 as was antielpatefl some months ago, due to heavy snows which delayed 

 operations. Should this be the case, there Is little doubt but that there 

 will be a shorLige of stocks this year.
