It Is early for n strong movcnioiit in the hiinhor market, hut still there 

 arc Home real hIkds of spring. IluildlnK has kept right on throuKh th<> 

 winter. There Is nn excellent call for hardwood for Interior finish and 

 floors and the factory demand Is kooiI, Furniture concerns are using 

 lumber with fair llherallty. The aiilomohllc concerns are Ijooming and 

 arc using large amounts of lumber, while other vehicle concerns Arty 

 operating at full capacity and usInK freely of lumber. Prices are firm 

 and continue to show an upward tendency. Bo\ and crating ninterlaU 

 are In strong demand. . 



< INDIANAPOLIS > 



.\ shortage In the hardwood market .ind unusually heavy demands are 

 ri'ported by dealers here.. Dulldlng operatlous here have started In earnest 

 and from the number of building pirniitH being Issued, prwilctlons are 

 made freely that this will be u good building year. .V gain of more 

 than $100.1100, or about 25 per cent, was recorded In the value of build- 

 ing operations during February over the corresponding month of last 

 year. The value of buildings for which permits were Issued last week 

 was 100 per cent greater than during the corresponding week of 1915. 

 George L. -Maas, president of the Mans-Nlemeycr Lumber Company, 

 predicts a shortage of hardwoods because deliveries to the Indiana mar- 

 kets are slow In arriving. He says tliaf on account of floods harilwood 

 producers will not be successful In shipping In a normal supply of hard- 

 woods Into the Indiana market until June. He predlcte<l an Increase In 

 hardwood prices all along the line. 



-< EVANSVILLE >- 



Hardwood lumber iiiMinilailiinrs m Kvansvlllc auil vicinity report that 

 the market continues to Iniprnve steadily. Trices are on the upward 

 trend and there have been sharp advances on many grades. Some of the 

 larger mills continue to operate on full time, or on a schedule of nine 

 hours a day. Some of the river mills have also started up on steady 

 time. Logs arc coming In freely. The demand for quartered sycamore 

 and quartered white oak Is strong. Ash remains strong. fJuni has been In 

 good demand, due to the fact that the furniture factories arc still run- 

 ning on full time and the furniture manufacturers have been In the 

 market for a great deal of gum. .Many of the manufacturers here are 

 looking for this year's trade to be even better than 1915. The general 

 outkiok Is encouraging and manufactuijers 8a5' they can see nothing on 

 the trade horizon now that is of the least discouraging nature. 



Wood consuming factories arc still running on full time or overtime, 

 and reports from the South and .Southwest say that business conditions 

 are getting better right along. Ret.ill lumber dealers say that business 

 conditions right no!*' are a great deal better than they were n year ago 

 this time. Yellow pine dealers, planing millmcn, sash and door dealers 

 and building material men arc looking for one of the best seasons In 

 many years. Pinning mills have been running on full time for several 

 months. \ great deal of building Is going on now in spite of the had 

 weather that has prevailed, and architects and contractors say that after 

 the weather becomes settled they expect to have all tiie work they can do. 

 Taken as a whole the situation looks good.
