under the pressure OF the domestic de-

continuation Of this heavy demand at
fairly stable prices.
Throughout the South mill opera
tions have been resumed on a broad
scale and great volumes Of lumber are
moving both By rail and water. Buying
is particularly active in the New YORK
metropolitan district and certain parts
Of New England. chiefly the rural and
suburban sections This is the direct
result Of the tremendous amount OF
building construction now under way.
