The Hardwood Market 



-< CHICAGO >- 



riilcTpo lunUiormen nre wnrryinu' mule over car Kliortn^e and the In- 

 ability to pet certain stocks than nnythlne else. They arc movlnc their 

 gooils out regularly with a slronR call from everybody but furniture factories. 

 The furniture demnnd Is slightly disappolntlnK. which Ik due more to the 

 fact that the demand hasn't Increasinl as was expectwl rather than because 

 of any fallini; off In consumption In the furniture tlelds. It Is quite likely 

 that shipments from the South prior to the llooil stages nre still alfeetlnfc 

 the local factory demand as a prooil deal of lumber wag shipped In at that 

 time and was taken up by Chicago firms. 



The stock conditions on Chicago factory yards are In little better shape 

 from the factory standpoint than In a good many other places. However, 

 a good deal of lumber Is going to the furniture people and with a good 

 call for their output and prices established at a point where It surely will 

 be Impossible for them to recede at any time In Ihe near future, the 

 probabilities nre that they will resume buying actively. 



Both northern and southern woods arc coming In In disappointingly 

 small quantilies because of the scarcity at the mill, and prices are going 

 up constantly. 



Gum still retains the lead with accelerated aggressiveness, and oak is 

 maintaining its position with very little variation except the gradual 

 upward tendency. The improvement in this wood has not been comparable 

 to that in gum, but it Is at least encouraging. Maple and birch are doing 

 the best in northern woods, with some items In both almost Impossible 

 tQ get. 



Plans for a vast amount of building locally arc matcrlniizing every day 

 with the resultant prospect for a big planing mill and Interior finish 

 demand. 



The railroads continue to be good purchasers of Chicago hnrdwoods as 

 well as other lumber. 



=■< BUFFALO >= 



The hardwood trade Is marked with a fair amount of activity, though 

 some of the yards say It Is not quite so large as a month ago. This is 

 largely due to the emiiargoes on the railroads, which have hindered the 

 shipment of stock. Bad weather, too, has curtailed business, but the 

 outlook is regarded as good and prices are being maintained at a firm 

 level In all branches of the business. 



The demand runs as strongly to maple as to any of the hardwoods 

 and most of the yards have been finding it necessary to replenish their 

 stocks of it. Thick stock Is especially wanted, but all thicknesses of 

 good maple are being inqulrnl for. I'InIn and quartered oak is reported 

 flnncr and dry stocks are not very plentiful In good stock. Chestnut is 

 about holding its own, while poplar shows some improvement. Cypress 

 trade Is rather quiet, though tank stock moves steadily. Mahogany is 

 coming into more prominence again and there Is now more activity In 

 the furniture trade. 



=-< PITTSBURGH y 



Tlie hardwood trade Is more satisfactory here than the market for 

 other kinds of lumber. Prices are higher than two months ago. White 

 oak bill stuff Is from SC..-n to .«r;.rift prr M. higher than .January 1. The
