=-< COLUMBUS >•-- 



The hardwood trade In Coluroliijs iiiul <.ntrnl Ohio bun l>een fairly active 

 'luring the past fortnight. Tbe butilneHa depreaalon coupled with the 

 European war Is having an effect on tha trade and the volume of hualncaa 

 |8 not quite so large as was the case thla time last year. On the whole, 

 bowevur. the trade Is In good shape and the prospects for tbe future are not 

 particularly bad. 



Iluying Is being done mostly by retailers as factory purchasing agenta 

 arc going slow. Some buying Is being done by Implement, vehicle and 

 furnlluro factories. Retailers' Htocks arc generolly light and they are 

 still following the policy of buying only for present requirements. Dry 

 stocks In tbe bands of mill owners arc not very large and shipments are 

 coming out promptly. 



One of the best features of the trade Is the activity which prevails In 

 building circles, not only In Columbus but also In the cllles and towna lo 

 central Ohio. This means a continuous demand for certain stocks and la 

 really the life of the market. The business depression apparently has not 

 stopped building. 



Prices are pretty generally maintained, although some shading la being 

 done In order to force trade. This Is true especially where stocks have 

 accumulated. Quartered and plain oak Is both fairly strong and the volume 

 of business done Is good. There Is also a good demand for poplar, all 

 grades of which are moving well. Chestnut Is one of the strongest polnta 

 In the trade, sound wormy espiriiilly moving well. Ash and basswood are 

 strong and other hardwoods are iinclmnKeil. 



=-< TOLEDO > 



There has been no great change In the hardwood situation here dur- 

 ing the post couple of weeks. The railroads are buying a little more 

 freely but ore by no means placing orders In normal quantity. The 

 furniture factories are running about as usual and using their usual 

 quota of lumber. The automobile factories are beginning to operate 

 along larger lines than during the dull summer months but can scarcely 

 be cald to be operating at their usual capacity as yet. The building 

 trades continue a fair call for material but there Is likely to be a tight- 

 ening up along these lines soon owing to the money stringency which 

 Is beginning lo make Itself felt here. Banks are not loaning on real 

 estate at all and the savings associations are confining themselvea 

 largely to depositors in making realty loons. These conditions make 

 themselves felt quickly In the lumber trade. The demand generally la 

 rather light although prices are holding fairly firm ail things considered. 

 The only reoUy bright spot Is the cooperage business, which Is unusually 

 active. 



■< INDIANAPOLIS > 



The local hardwood trade bus been moving along quietly during the 

 lost two weeks. There has not been much buying and few Inquiries. 

 Here and there deliveries have been made on contracts or orders re- 

 ceived some time ago and a few dealers have placed orders to replenish 

 their stocks. 



There promises to be little activity until a new export market, to 

 take the place of the European market, can be found, not only for the 

 lumber trade but for other trodcs. 



Building operotlons are practicolly at a standstill owing to tbe tight 

 condition of the money market. Concerns using hardwoods are pro- 

 ceeding along conservative lines.

Hardwood lumber trade continues to rule about as quiet as It has 

 nr been for .some years, tbe foreign war being the main Influence.
