LUMBER DEALERS
ARE LOOKING FOR
INCREASED TRADE.
Wholes alers and Retailers Think
Business Conditions Will be
Better in Fall.
HIGHER PRICES PROBABLE

While both wholesale and retail mm-
ber dealers agree that the past year
has been an especially trying one for
thesr trade, they look forward 10 better
conditions with the resumption of busi-
ness in the fall. when the commence
ment OF several long-delayed eonstruc-
ton projects will increase In volume
the business operations already con-
templated.
Several reasons for falling off in
trade OF the lumber business during
the past year have been given. Chief
among these, the dealers say. is the
common belief among those planning
to build that the prices of lumber ma
terials will continue to decrease.
Since spring of last year, each month
has seen a reduction in some lumber
products, IL is said. particularly those
types that arc not so much in demand.
Probably the greatest decrease of all
has occurred i'm the price of maple
flooring. which is now about 20 per
cent less than IL was i'm the spring of
1920. Cyprus. il is believed. has
changed least of all. as it's price has
varied little since year ago. The
average decrease in lumber during the
past year ranges about AZ per cent.
The dealers believe that there is
nothing to be gained by holding Off in
building for the purpose of awaiting
further reduction. Prices. they say.
have now reached the lowest point
Many Of the large lumber mills have
ceased operations because the returns
from their production under the pres
cnt price basis do not cover the ex-
renses of labor. etc.
Another reason for the decrease in
trade last year Is the smaller amount
of money i'm circulation now than dur
ing the war period. Contractors. the
dealers say. find it harder now 10 raise
loans fof financing work than used TO
be the case.
However, il is expected that build
ing win receive boom in the fall. and
that the coming year will be one Of
the hest IN the history of the lumber
business, which on an average has
seen less depression than many other
lines of business.
