The l ower grade s are j;i. good tlemand. and mUIs 

 are "Hurrying drders. Ash is Stronger and "the" 

 movement is better. 'fTickoi-y is steady and 

 prices are firm. Poplar is one of the strongest 

 points in the mal'ket; Almost any price can be 

 secured fdr the wide sizes. An advance of $1 

 per thousand in the upper grades of chestnut is 

 reported. 



CINCINNATI 



There is a cheerful atmosphere in the hard- 

 wood market at this point, owing to the con- 

 tinuance of good business conditions and a most 

 encouraging outlook for the future. The demand 

 for good figured quarter-sawed oak is strong, 

 with a feeling that there is not an overabundance 

 in sight ; prices are very strong and dealers show 

 no disposition to make contracts for future de- 

 livery at current rates. Chestnut is in good 

 demand for ones' and two's of twelve feet and 

 over, with a ready sale for all other lengths ; 

 sound wormy is receiving considerable attention 

 from buyers, l^oplar is a strong feature in the 

 market, and while the lower grades are abundant 

 in supply, there is an evident scarcity of good 

 clear poplar in the market. A decided activity 

 IS noted in the ven eer m a rket, with a good de- 

 mand for Circassian, walnut, mahogany and guar- 

 lerea oak veneers. ; 



BVANSVILLE 



Conditions in the local hardwood lumber 

 market have not changed noticeably during the 

 past two weeks. There is, however, a mani- 

 festation of increasing confidence shown by buy- 

 ers in future business. Quite a number of 

 factories are making contracts for 1910 de- 

 livery in anticipation of an advance in the 

 price of lumber, and it is generally expected 

 by the local factories that 1910 will be a ban- 

 ner year. Quartered oak remains the strongest 

 factor in this market, and the demand for pop- 

 lar continues to improve. The demand for plain 

 oak Is improving noticeably, but the price is 

 not as good as it should be. However when 

 present stocks of this Wood are used up, the price 

 will advance. 



MEMPHIS 



The demand for hardwood lumber is fairly 

 actdve and there is a good volume of business 

 under way iu.'most items. There is a steady in- 

 crease in the amuimt of business being put 

 through, and, while orders ai'e not as brisk as 

 soiueof the trade expected,, there has been so 

 much improvement. ithat tkere is a feeling of 

 hopefulness among the trade, regarding the out- 

 look.! The biggest part of the) demand is from 

 yarding . interests!. Consaming interests appear 

 to be disposed to btty only for more pressing 

 rctiuiremeats. The time is approaching for tak- 

 ing. stack, itttd this is expected to militate against 

 business to some exlont, hut the situation has a 

 number of encouraging features. There is spme

 lirsts and seconds and '^oC I comnlon. ' Some"' 



members of the trade say that quiir't'ereil oak is

 deiJression. There is some improvement in the 

 deihftnd for lower gr«deS'<>f Cottonwood and gum, 

 but prices' havfe ■riotnmaterially iKiprofed. The

 Th'e improv'ement iff fife ■box ■business" is lootea 

 upon as a stimulating fitclor in~connection with 

 the lower grades of cottonwood and gum. Ash is 

 moving fairly well and there is also a moderate 

 movement in cypress, though perhaps there is not 

 as much activity in these items as a fortnight 

 ago. There is almost no poplar for sale in this 

 tnarket, but those who have any are meeting 

 with no difficulty whatever in disposing of it. 



NASHVILLE 



The local market has improved somewhat dur- 

 ing the past week. The car shortage situation 

 appears to be in a better shape than for some 

 time and less apprehension is felt on that score. 

 In fact, a general improvement is noted in all 

 lines, nothing particularly noteworthy or sud- 

 den, but just a general and satisfactory improve- 

 ment in conditions. The railroads, realizing 

 that their stock is entirely inadequate to de- 

 mands, have jumped into the hardwood market 

 and are placing large orders for car material. 

 These orders in themselves are helping the lum- 

 ber business just that much as an initial propo- 

 sition, not to mention the u ltimate good that 

 wiU resuU w^en th,e, cars, for.wWch the stuff is 

 being'ordereS shall have teen liiiilti ' Tiie w6o9 

 working factories and Tlte box" pi^ople are re- 

 ported quite busy, including the planing mills 

 and the furniture factories. Quartered oak, both 

 led and white, continues to be a leader in the 

 local market. The lower grades are moving well 

 also. High-grade poplar is also selling well. 

 Cypress is steady. The box factories are using 

 liberal quantities of cottonwood and the various 

 cabinet woods are in good demand. There is a 

 better tone to chestnut, but ash is a bit slow. 



BRISTOL 



Trade conditions here are not as good as they 

 were a fortnight ago. The lull in business Is 

 uuabated and orders are not coming as rapidly 

 as lumbermen had expected. However, trade is 

 ih fair shape and the lumbermen generally will 

 be satisfied to drift along until the new year, 

 when they expect business to boom. Inquiries 

 are less numerous and November will not make 

 the showing of October, though shipments are 

 holding up well. Prices are steady, but there 

 has been little advance of late. 



LOUISVILLE 



The demand for hardwoods continues to im- 

 proTe. livery branch, of trade is ordering in 

 old-time volume, and this activity has stiffened 

 prices considerably. Quartered and plain oak and 

 poplar are all on the up grade as far as quota- 

 tions are concerned. The lower grades of nearly all 

 items are beginning to move under the stimulus 

 of the increased demand, and the chances are 

 that the winter will see a marked decrease in 

 the accumulation of low-grade stuff caused by 

 the depressed prices that prevailed during the 

 times following the panic. Mahogany is being 

 imported and manufactured in the accustomed 

 large volume, and while the demand . for. It is 

 not such as is caysing any great enthusiasm. It 

 Is sufficient 'to show that the trade is there and 

 that continued conditions sUch as exist now 

 will produce a heavier demand later on, .Veneers 

 are selling ■-much, more freely, and > -prices ■ are 

 higher.: The general situation .as lar as hardt ; 

 woods -are cone4rncd--.ls satisfactory.
