SOUTH EXPERIENCING
 BIG BUILDING BOOM

The American Lumberman says the south is experiencing building boom in many sections"
 Southern pine market Is the most &C., tive. General demand Is increasing slowly. Railroads are buying some lumber for immediate requirements, while auto body and furniture makers and like interests are also In the mar ket.
 The Lumberman says: "A signifi- cant feature of the lumber business this year is the great amount or southern pine consumed in the pro ducing territory. The south is ex- periencing a, building boom in many sections. and far larger amount of lumber is being consumed in what may be termed the local territory Of southern pine producers than was ex- pected.
 "The southern pine market is the most active, but increasing activity IS shown in the Douglas fir market ana in the demand for the better grades of hardwoods. Prices as whole are firmer with here and there an advance on items in most demand. Advances were regorded this week both in south ern pine and certain hardwoods.
