Have you Been any brtter Walnut log* than thciaT 



' I ' HEY all grew right in Indiana where 

 hardwoods have always held the 

 choicest farm lands. The best growth of 

 timber as well as the best yield of wheat 

 comes from good soil. The soundness of 

 the log-ends shows that they fed on the 

 fat of the land. My 



hidiana Oak 



comes from the same soil

Speuklni,' of the dllTlculty In Retting freight cars occcswiry for ahlpplng 

 of lumber to other cities by local hardwood dlHtrlbutom. they aay there 

 arc an unusual number of "bad order" cars. The railroads have, for aev- 

 cral years, been short of cars, because they have not been able to apend 

 money to repair w-|iat they have on hand and neither have tliey been able 

 to buy new ones. Then, too, the car bulldlni; Industry recently baa been 

 held back by the dlllleuUy In KettInK the steel parts, umlerfraines, trucks 

 and wheels, owing to the mills having so much other business on hand. 

 Some of the railroads arc even considering the return to wooden under- 

 frames for their freight cors.

The Hardwood Market 



-< CHICAGO >.= 



The really good demand with a shortage of stocks has resulted In 

 materially boosting local hardwood prices. Some Item.^ have gotten to 

 such a (loiut that they are beyond the use of firms ordinarily employ- 

 ing them, who have been compelled to turn to othcjr wooils that can be 

 supplle<l at more reasonable value---. 



Practically all the normal womis on the bard\.-ood list have increased 

 materially in the last couple of weeks, this being particularly true of 

 gum and nmplc. Oak Is holding a steady market. There has been some 

 dlfllculty in gelling adequate stocks In certain spccini-ntions of oak, 

 with correspoudjcs strengthening of prices, uiit advances have not 

 iieen so marked as with some of the oilier hardwoods. 



As before, the outlet for hardwoods through building Is more promising 

 than tlie f.nctory trade, although this uoes ii.it mean that the factory 

 trade has experleuced any siun-.p. It simply has not advanced .so rapidly 

 as woodw-orklnL' llin-s in otlu-r direitbm';.
