The Hardwood Market 



< CHICAGO >■ 



The cimdition locally is still rather mixed, but with sentiments gradu- 

 ally changing back to a more optimistic frame of mine. There are some 

 confiicting statements of developments, but the majority of local hard- 

 wood men testify to a noticeable improvement in the call for lumber and 

 are of the unanimous opinion that conditions are promising.. 



The car situation still is in pretty fair shape, but the trade is pretty 

 well convinced that the shortage this fall will be greater than before on 

 account of the record-breaking crops to be moved. In fact, cars are 

 already headed west in consiileralile iiuantities and the miivemcnt will be 

 augmented as the weeks go by. 



-■< BUFFALO >-- 



The hardwood trade is generally reported quieter than a few weeks ago. 

 Buyers have been holding oft on account of the vacation period, but fac- 

 tories are all busy aiid planning to buy considerable lumber during the 

 present month. War work Is, of course, the main dependence in the hard- 

 Aviinil Hade, and other lines are doing but little. The yards have stopped 

 1 1, a lai^e degree the getting in of new stocks, having filled up to a liberal 

 extent liming the past few months, until they have an excellent all- 

 around assortment. 



Oak, maple, poplar, ash and cypress are reported to be the woods in 

 which the largest demand exists. The call does not run to particular 

 woods to the former extent, however, but most everything is getting a 

 fair preportion of the business. The range of prices is holding at the 

 sami' level as for some weeks and not much objection is made to paying 

 file price where the lumber is wanted.
