S VERY HP
The danger of a runaway lumber
market is becoming very reah says
tlio American Lumberman. Healix
infr the harmful effects it would
have on trade, tho industry is mak
ing everf effort to avoid it, but the
situation is so shaping itself as to
. forte th market out of bound. De
mand is record breaking, and con-
. tinues to expand. During the sec
ond week in January, normally one
' of comparative dullness, bookings by
4 subscribers to the Southern Pine As
' sbciation leached the second highest
point in years, while all records for
orders and shipments in the Doug
las fir industry were mashed. Manu
facturers of other softwoods make
similar, reports. .
Great country wido builclina- activ
Sty during the coming spring and
summer is -forecast, while the gen
eral industrial outlook ' was rarely
better. This indicates that lumber
consumption this year will be great.
Unsold stocks are rapidty diminish
ing and buyers are rushing into the
. market m order to cove? their fu
ture requirement as fas as possible.
fnces are moving upward steaml.i
and no weakness that mav cause r.
reversal of the trend is descernible
anywhere.
The. heaviest softwood demand js
'for huildiuK items, -due not only to
prospective requirements but also to
the fact that current retail sales are
unpreeedentedly heavy .for' this season.-
Kaiiroad, oil field and other in
dustrial requirements expand the
mills' .order files considerably, and
the export movement is sizable.
Hardwood manufacturers . state
that thev sold far more lumber dur
ing the ' first three weeks of this
month than they did during the first
six weeks of 1022. The automobile
industry continues to buy and con
tract for enormous quantities of
hardwoods. (Exhibitors at the re
cent furniture shows have returned
with large sheaves of orders, and
the furniture industry's spring and
summer production is likely to be'
the larirest in history. Floorinc and
interior trim manufacturers, in the
face of a voluminous current busi
ness, arc making every effort to
build up manufactured stocks in Pre
paration lor spnng. uox anu crat
ing makers report continued excel
lent business: miscellaneous consum
em have needs that aggregate into
an important volume, and the export
demand is considerable.- The short
age of dry stocks is becoming in
tensified, the movement ot green
lumber is growing and. prices are
advancing steadily.

tho foreign postage to so great an
extent as Japan.

Quebec hail as a victory for their
cauMo the appointment of two wo

as the first step toward admitting
women to the liar of the Province,
for which u battle has been waged

Gertrude Doylo, public stenograph
ers. The powers conferred by their
appointment include the right to re
ceive within the judicial district of
Montreal ullnlavits which may be
uKed in any court in any district of
the province. Affidavits thus receiv
ed have tho same' force as if they

The women's petition for commis
sionerships was rejected by Mr. Jus

no precedent for - appointing women,
and he declined to create one. A few '
days later the petition was present-;
