PHILADELPHIA, March % The

Mr.. Lloyd was told that report was

According to this story National Car
bon was to pay par for the Electric

Lumber Market Stronger
General Improvement Taken to
Indicate Business Revival

ST. LOUIS, March 22.-The lumber
market has shown more strength dur-
ing the last week than at any time
since the armistice was signed. ac.
cording to Lumber" a trade author
ity.
THE improvement is general-not
confined to any particular section of
the country nor assigned to any par
tlcular cause" this journal states
rather is it something in the nature
OF spontaneous revival of business
and industrial conditions, reflected in
an increasing demand for lumber and
building materials of all kinds. Weath-
er conditions favorable to building on
eratlons have helped, to be sure. but
the weather is not alone responsible,
1or industry is slowly but surely
finding ITSELF
Ihe domestic demands for soft
WOODS nave been confined largely to re-
tail yards, mixed cars Of lumber NOV
ing in large number from all produc-
ing sections. The character of the
shipments indicates that retailers. in
the main, are buying to rcplenish de-
pleted stocks but orders for solid cars
are by no means infrequent Hard
woods are moving in constantly in
creasing volume, wood-consuming in
dustrials evidently accepting at face
value statements Of manufacturers to
the effect that there is no possibility
OF reduction in prices.
AN interesting development in con-
nectlon with export demand during
the week was the loading of q large
shipment of Douglas fir for Cuban
consumption, indicating that not
alone has the long-expected offshore
demand begun to manifest itself, but
that Western woods are beginning to
enter field long regarded as logi
cally and geographically belonging to
Southern woods"

and Business g:
Drop in Footwear Output
Followed Armistice
Production of Saddlery and
Leather Betting Also
Slowed Down

There were 1856 more concerns en-
gagged in the manufacture of boots and
shoes and leather goods last November
than there were in September, accord
ing to the United States Bureau of the
Census. The number of pairs of
leather footwear of all kinds manu-
factured during November exceeded the
production of September by more than
2,250,000 pairs, but there was reduc-
tion of almost $4,000 in the value of
the shoes turned out for the govern
ment's military requirements in No
vember.
During September the manufacturers
made shoes for the government valued
at $l,46O,964. In October this item
jumped to $1,81O, 1888, but in November
the end of the war apparently stopped
government orders, for during this
month the government expended only
81 065,972 for footwear
In September 25,961 ,O04 pairs of shoes
we're produced, while in the following
month the output totalled 30,4665 594
pairs. In November the total dropped to
made for civilian consumption the
makers of women's footwear led with
production of $1O,235,83 worth of
shoes in November, 11,759, ,496 in Oc-
tober and $9,406,368 in September The
value of mems shoes, both unlined and
dressed, in high and low styles, was
much below that of women's shoes
made in the same months. Infants
and babies shoes, assuming the values
had not advanced materially during the
three months, were turned out in about
the same quantities each month. The
values of this class of shoes made in
September, October and November
were, respectively, S3,022 ,656, $685.
712 and $3,340,800. The total value of
all shoes made for civilians during
these months was $23,974,484 n Sep
tember, $2S S,046,392 in October and $26,-
47S,160 in November.
The census report also covered the
manufacture of leather gloves, and
shows constant growth in the output
OF this commodity each month. In Sep
tember there were 259,612 dozen pairs
of gloves made in the United States.
The following month the production
had advanced to ,94S dozen pairs,
and in November the official figures
show that 375,935 dozen pairs were
manufactured.
Again the influence of the signing of
the armistice is noted when a compari-
son is made Of the figures covering the
manufacture of saddlery and harness
and parts of military saddlery and
harness. During September 4o,766
single sets of saddlery and harness
were made; in October 57,783 sets, and
in November 46,481 sets. In Septem
Der 1,579,219 parts were made for the
above equipment. The following month
the total jumped to 1,955,9O1 and in
November it dropped to 924,9a3.

wheel for eight weeks or more because
cf strikes.
"Clothing manufacturers must have
their cloth to use during the coming
summer months and I do not see how
production will equal the demand.
The only course open to the mills is
to increase their prices. The mills
are not making a large profit on the
goods they offer now. Prices were
made as low as possible to induce
users Of woollens to buy and to get
the market started. I don't see how
there can be any further reductions
and everything points to rise in
prices.
"1n some cases fine grades of cloth
are higher this year than they were
for last fall. This is notably true in
worsteds, and yet l believe worsteds
will be popular suiting fabrics for
next fall and winter A great many
of the boys who were in the army be-
came used to the good wearing quail
ties of the worsted cloth, of which
most of the uniforms were made, and
they will demand the same qualities
in their civilian clothes. No matter
how we'll a woolllen cloth is made it
won't compare to a worsted in wear
ing quality.
GAS for the price question, we can
learn lesson from England. English
mills are selling cloth now at a price
which is guaranteed until 1920. The
mills agree to refund the buyer the
difference between his contract price
and any lower price to which goods
may fall later no. They are safe in
making the agreement, because they
know the price will not fall. Price
tendencies in England always are re-
fected later on over here"
