Demand, however, i remained remarkably strong up to the very eve of Christmas, and is expected to reassert itself even more stronniy immediately after New Year Kavs the American Lumberman. IVoHpccts were never better for a heavy volume of business, and the lumber industry is keenly optimis tic. The market is featured by un seasonal strenirth as the year closes. Retailers' stocks on the whole are; very low, due to the unusually (rood; business they have enjoyed for KomO time and their hesitancy about buy-, nig before inventories for filhnp-m purposes. The building- outlook be nitf excellent in nearly all cities and Iiuirer towns, the yards will soon j have to come forward with require--' inputs that will njfKTeHte enormous quantities, The nericulturai situation has im proved notably of late, and the ex peetntion is that farmers, after sev cal years of relative inactivity ii mien work, wili next year undertake- pleiimve liuilmirjr construction and i t pairs, which probably will be car rcd on at a pace calculated to make up much of the time lost. Coun try yards, therefore, are also pre- r puiing for a bie;p;er year than usual. oj niiolher promising1 source for fousi-oinc.-.f is th railroads, which have pressing needs for rolling stock and equipment of all kinds, and which uri definitely planning very impor tant purchases during 19:i3. The in dustrial situation as a whole is cx ce.ient, with prospects for further improvement, which means that de mand for lumber is going to be gen eral and run into heavy totals. Kx- oi pollutions, too, is picking up. While' o the business outlook is thus bright, o t ho question uppermost in many o minds is where the lumber that un doubtedly will be needed is to come o from. Stocks of all principal soft o woods and hardwoods are badly de o'pa'tcd. The mills have for many o months sold as much or more lumber j than they have produced nnd arc o'now heavily overbooked. Uy the time o;they have succeeded in clearing their 5 i file. of present orders they will be o in tSu midst of the new buying sea- sen ami have further reduced their tsuppheb. It looks like a real shortage of all popular construction nnd fabricating items. The price tendency mean while is upward.
