-Mex. Williams of the Astoria Veneer Mills & Dock Company, states 

 that T(!' — t..-..-.,,y market is stronirer than ever before with a combina- 

 tion ;: scarcity of dry iiocks ami low receipts of new logs. 

 The I' .irs have seen some accumulation of mahogany lumber, 

 but recently the demand has b»:n so great that a real scarcity exists 

 for the first time In many years, and prices have advanced to a "new 

 high reconl. Inch lumber, FAS, Is bringing $.10 more than It did a 

 year ago with proportionate advances throughout the list. The price 

 -.■ has advanced so much that fresh lumber will have ti> bring 

 ' or even higher pric«. The other lmporte<l woods are stronger 

 .!!;■. -i,jcl'-S niaterlallv lower fhnr •■^•■r;'.

The t>iiUdlng outlook is goo«l and each month so far this year has 



hf.n rh. 1 I of the same time last year. For March the figures were 



•■^ ~'aln of eight per cent over Manh last year, when the total 



^ 11. More than a normal amount of building work will be 



urri'jd uix here this spring and April promises to be a heavy month. 



The shortage of cars which has atTected many shipping points lately 

 has not been partb iilarly noticeable and the hardwood yards have been 

 able to get the cars needed most of the time about as wanted. This Is 

 due largely to BulTalo's Importance as a railroad ami distributing center. 

 The movement of'gmin from this center is always heavy after the close 

 nf the !iavigation season and it brings many cars here.
