ARUNGTON LUMBER 'cO.VAilin^LB, Kentucky 



=-< CHICAGO >-. 



News of the conclusion of plans for iiiinionse government construction 

 ui freight cars naturally brought considerable satisfaction to Chicago 

 lumbermen, as inevitably Chicago district must take care of a substantial 

 part of this output. Also news that negotiations looking toward the 

 building of big ship yards and a large number of sea-going vessels In this 

 territory adds to the feeling of security. A still further lump of war 

 work developed in plans for the apportionment of spare wagon part or- 

 ders among furniture men in this district, as the furniture makers taking 

 on part of the business in the Chicago territory will call for a good many 

 thousands of feet of suitable lumber. 



The local trade also was able to find a good measure of encouragement 

 at the meeting of the furniture manufacturers here last wcek._ The result 

 is a solidified optimism and a staunch holding up of prices on all items. 

 A good deal of thick oak has been markete<l here of late and at prices 

 considerably above those recommended by the woodstock committee. In 

 fact, local wholesalers even have paid substantially more for certain of 

 these specialized items than is recommended by the committee, and when 

 their profit is added to their paying price, the result shows substantially 

 above the figures the committee is fighting for so strenuously. 



While local trade has been optimistic for some time, it has not for a 

 considerable stretch had such definite reasons for feeling secure as exists 

 right now.

AND OTHER 

 HARDWOODS 



The hardwood trade is on a fairly active basis, though it would be much s EvBfl Colof 



better if It were pos.sible to make shipments in something like a normal ^ 



way. But a great deal of diflBculty is experienced in getting stock from ^ 



the mills and in filling orders for the eastern market. The demand seems ~ 



well distributed over the various woods and prices are holding firm. The ^ 



outlook appears favorable for a good trade in future, provided the yards ^ 



are able to get the stock. They are much handicapped In this respect now. ^ 



and orders placed months ago with the mills are in some cases still nnfiUed. — 



so that assortments are hard to maintain. E 



Oak. ash and maple are still in about as much demand as anything, and = 



oome yards have had fair business in quartered oak, though the general S 



furniture trade is not active. Ash stocks are not large, as everything sells 2 



about as rapidly as received. One of the woods that has been getting = 



scarce here lately is basswood and one-inch common stock has been about Z 



a out of the market. The poplar demand has also been good. Chest- s 



--is been a slow seller for some time past, except in sound wormy, — 



J, sells well. All low grades are scarce and strong. =

The general market lor hardw.io.ls here continues good considering ali 

 adverse conditions. In general there is more hardwood wanted than ran 

 be delivered. Mills are not overstocked at all and the difficulties In making 

 shipments are still such as to keep business very backward. Big indus- 

 trial concerns are in the market for a lot of hardwood if they could get it. 

 There is also a nice demand from the general manufacturing Une. Rail- 

 road business is going to be much more plentiful — ^if present prospects 

 count for anything — and harilwood men believe that for oak, especially, 

 this is going to be a banner year. In fact, it is impos-=ibIe to get any-
