The market la, therefore J in healthier enndition tJian In re cent weeks, for both retail yard and mill stocks have been great ly reduced, and pi Ices are advanc ing to n more rennnerative level. j Southern pine shipments nn.l orders continue above production so that mill stocks show serious 'depletion, and nre said to be ful ly eight per cent below normal, though to fill promptly the fre- Iqucnt small orders mn' usual U xVould be necessary for the mi Ms to carry even larger stocks th m they have been In the habit of doing. Flooring and hoards have been the first to benefit by the (advancing tendency of prices. M 1 1 1 o pe ra t i on s on t he w est ('oast have been largely res'itned. the manufacturers being encour aged by a firmer market under tone. The movement has been good, and in fact July 1 stocks of most Items were a good deal less than those held u mont li earlier, so that It Is becoming dif ficult to fill mixed :'( orders. The disinclination of iiiIIIh to ac cept low offers allows t htt prices are strengthening. The Atlantic coast is taking a heavy volume, and the water movement to Cali fornia has Increased, while there wns a striking gain In the do mestic rail movement for t he week, and a huge order has been booked by a wholesale group for shipment to Australia, only a small part of which has yet been placed with thn mills.

La Grande Construction of sidewalks In Connordale and nearby districts is moving ahead. One stretch of walk has been completed and ano ther is now being laid.

Northern j hardwood buying is closely In line wit h consumers' current require- 1 ments, bit placements become j tmtre frequent. Maple flooring J plants have good business on their i books. Prices show strong resist I mice to efforts to depress them. and In general nre strongly held. The automotive industry is buying well of both southern and north ern hardwoods.
