TIMBER MARKET
STILL ACTIVE
Burn Home of Ireland's President
jr
The lumber . market retains its
great activity despite the cold wave
which lately has swept much .of the
country and has slowed down out
door work anil retail trade, says the
American Lumberman, Chicago. A
full resumption, if not expansion of
these activities, is looked for as soon
as weather conditions permit. Buy
ing therefore holds up strongly and
inquiries are numerous. Orders for
all softwoods, and also shipments,
remain greatly in excess of produc
tion. This means that the lumber
shortage is increasing. Many mills
are withdrawing fiom the market,
being oversold as far ahead as they
care to be. The mills subscribing to
the Southern Pine Association, for
example, on January 2(1, had orders
on hand for 3,39j,l 1(J feet per mill,
equal to more than six weeks' pro-,
duction at the current rate.
Cargo business continues to hold
the attention of the west Coast
mills. The California market is un
precedently active and is paying un
usual prices. Lumber offered the
Atlantic seaboard is therefore be
coming strictly limited in quantity
and .nat available for the middle
west is confined almost entirely to
transit cars sent out by wholesalers
who purchased ahead several weeks
ago. These transits aie proving a
boon to the trade in that section,
and are being lapidly Picked up.
ury nortnern pine and hemlocK
is very scarce and in big demand.
Western pines in shop and. lower
grades are practically unobtainable
in any quantity, and uppers are in
none too good supply. Redwood and
cypress have eager markets, ami are
scarce and strong. North -Carolina
pine mills are forced constantly to
turn down oiders at attractive prices
on account of their Over-booked con
dition. The sol'twood'niaikot, in a
"word, is strong, throughout, , and
prices continue to: tend upward. This
is especially true of common build
ing items, such art' dimension und
boards. Upper guides generally are
unchanged, in southern pine and
Douglas fir Perhaps largely due to
temporary comparative dullness of
the car material trade. General in
dustrial consumption is voluminous
and expanding, and factory items on
the whole aru scarce, with an ad
vancing tendency.
The httrdwood trade is featured,
as for some- time, by if very strong I
demand. Automobile manufacturers
are still heavily on the market with
a wide range of rccnirements. Fur
niture interests are .increasing their
takings, and flooring and interior
trim makers tremnin important con
sumers. Box and crating plants are
keeping low grades moving freely.
These and miscellaneous consumers,
including exporters, competing
among themselves for the dwindling
dry stocks, are creating a steadily
advancing market.
