Mr. Thompson were Chicago, Indianapolis, Cleveland. Buffalo, Mil- 

 waukee and Cincinnati. For the present, according to Mr. Thouipsou, 

 most consumers and distributors are buying from hand to mouth, but 

 ne believes that the time Is close at hand when the demand will be 

 of a much more urgent and decidedly more insistent character. 



The demand for red gum appears to be improving somewhat, and 

 reports received at the headquarters of the (ium Lumber Manufac- 

 turers' Association indicate that this wood is gradually increasing in 

 popularity. It is finding more favor with architects, and they are 

 not hesitating to recommend it to their clients for interior trim, as well 

 as for other purposes. They have been able to obtain such satisfactory 

 results that the association is looking forward to a great deal of as- 

 sistance from them in increasing the Amount of red gum used. Only 

 recently advices have been received here that the postoffice at Bed- 

 ford. Va.. will be finished in red gum. and that another postoffice 

 at WytheviUe, also in Virginia, will be finished in the same material. 

 Most members of the trade here say that they have found a rather 

 decided increase in demand for red gum recently, and this is regarded 

 as an exceptionally encouraging development. 



There has been no marked change in weather conditions in this sec- 

 tion during the past fortnight. A great deal of rain has fallen, and 

 within this period the ground has been thoroughly covered with snow. 

 The lowlands are still quite wet. and members of the trade here say 

 that they are meeting with considerable difficulty in getting out timber. 

 Log stocks have run down to rather small proportions in some direc- 

 tions, and not a few manufacturers are authority for the statement 

 that the scarcity of timber is beginning to be a somewhat prominent 

 feature. It is pointed out that, owing to the scarcity of logs, much 

 will depend upon weather conditions in the Immediate future. Mean- 

 time those firms which have enough timber in sight to enable them to 

 do so are operating their plants at full capacity, and it is doubtless true 

 that the amount of lumber being produced is somewhat in excess of 

 what it was even three or four weeks ago. 



Htiilding operations are incn-asing ^<^n^ewbat. and this is accepted 

 as a favorablt? sign. In fact, it is anticipated that the increased activ- 

 ity in this line at Memphis will be duplicated in other parts of the 

 country and that there will l>e a decidedly larger demand for hard- 

 wood Mooring and for interior finish. Some members of the trade are 

 pointing out that there ought to be quite an impetus given to the 

 hardwood lumber business with the opening of spring in the upper 

 half of the United States, and they are looking forward with con- 

 fidence to such a development. There is more doing in Memphis now 

 than for quite a long while, and reports from quite a number of other 

 centers in the South indicate that there is a gradual return toward 

 normal in the matter of building attivity.
