PERTAINING TO LUMBER.
The Demand for That Article Has
Opened With Spring,

The spring demand for lumber is
gradually beginning to assert itself,
says the Lumberman. Reports from
all the Western markets agree that
there is good healthy demand. and
some increase in the shipments from
week to week, although there is some
complaint that the demand is not what
it was expected it would be. Any care
full analysis of the situation diSclOses,
however, that with the possible eXcep-
ton of Chicago, more lumber is being
moved out of the principal markets
than was being moved a year ago
at this time, and, in fact, during
the corresponding period for two or
three years. But there is no rush. Trade
has not jumped from the usual winter
lethargy into the spring activity, be-
cause trade during the winter was un-
commonly good. From the moderate
shipments which have been made all
along, the demand has gradually in
creased to what ought to be regarded
as an exceedingly satisfactory volume.
1t may be questioned, however, whether
such is the case. and whether the grad
ual development of the demand has had
as much influence on prices as would
have been the case had there been a
large and sudden call for lumber, coin
cident with the opening of the spring
season. Prices certainly are not being
maintained as the conditions of the
stocks, the promise of prospective de-
mand. and the uncertainty surrounding
the getting of logs to the market would
seem to warrant.
