The Hardwood Market 



-< CHICAGO >■ 



There is still .onsideraMc (pmshiicss in oni.'rs and prices locally. It 

 scorns that a fair number of small mill cuts have been offered by pro- 

 prietors who are not in touch with market situations and have no selling 

 orgiinizatlon. Quite a good deal of this nmterial has accumulated at 

 different points and is now being brought to the nmrket to the detriment 

 of the up-to-date trade. The condition does not seem to be seriously dis- 

 turbing, but Is enough in evidence to cause comment locally. On the 

 whole, though, the price situation is holding up satisfactorily and will 

 undoubtedly so continue.

The hardwood market of New England shows its usual seasonal t<iu- 

 dition. Kmbargoes are causing very little trouble and there is no ques- 

 tion that stocks would be restored if material were not so scarce and 

 high. There are no features to distinguish the present situation here 

 from that prevailing throughout the country. Construction and produc- 

 tion for civil requirements are shrinking and being replaced with the 

 endless variety of special war needs. Tlic state of creilit holds remark- 

 ably good and every activity that labor and lumber lomlltions will admit
