P NE MARKETTAKES
ON A BETTER TONE
BUSINESS THROUGHOUT THIS
SECTION HAS BEEN ExCEP.
TIONALLY GOOD.

The yellow pine market took a
sharp turn for the better last week,
with the placing of good orders, which
was almost Immediately reflected in
a stiffening in prices. A number Of
firms in the territory shared in a l.
$50, 000-foot factory flooring order
from the northwest. This is the first
big order that has been received in
this territory in some time and for a
time created a furry in the market.
1t practically cleaned up 3x6 flooring
and this item Immediately advanced.
A good demand has also been in
evidence during the week for dimen-
sion, car material, decking, boards and
long joist. Prices are up on some of
these items averaging about 80 cents
to 81 over thirty days ago. Short di-
Imension is getting scarce and better
figures are being demanded.
Business as a whole throughout the
territory has been exceptionally good
during the past week and the highest
kind of optimism reigns on every
hand. Everybody reports that they
have done fairly good business during
the week and look for a continued i'm
provement of the market.
Inquiry for car materials continues
to come in broken lots. Some big or
ders have been placed during the past
week close to this section and others
will probably be placed in the course
Of few days.
The stiffness of prices and evident
advancing tendency of the market has
made Over-cautious buyers hasten to
get their wants filled before it costs
them more money, as it will, if they
wait very much longer.

CITY BREVITIES


The feature at the Lomo today is
"The Moth and the Flame" With all
the strength and power of a Billy
Sunday sermon Clyde Fitch's drama
of present-day life, "The Moth and
the Flame" returns to the public in a
new incarnation, as screen drama
produced by the Famous Players Film
Company and presented on the Para
mount program. True to life, but ten
der in its emotional appeal this play
will live as one of the foremost exam
Piles of American domestic dramas,
and the Immortality that the screen
confers upon this stage classic is de-
served. The strongest OF the many
scenes in this drama is that in which
the sinful man who symbolizes the
fame meets his Nemesis, while in the
same room that tragedy stalks occurs
a fantastic and frivolous society cir:
Gus and masquerade ball. This ming
ling of sorrow and gaiety is a typical
characteristic of the great dramatist,
Clyde Fitch, and similar brilliant dra-
matte strokes abound Throughout the
production.
