LUMBER MARKET REPORT
INDICATES SLOW GAIN
Market Remains Firm as
Rule and Trade Is Sure
to Gradually Increase

The noise of hammer and saw is
increasing throughout the country,
attended by a slow but sure gain IN
bookings of orders for lumber. Sales,
not only by manufacturers to retail
ers but by retailers to ultimate con-
sumers, are expanding, although, &C
cording to the American Lumber
man, the market is not spectacular.
Most retail lumber companies now
conduct service departments to aid
their customers in planning homes,
and reports from all over the coun-
try indicate that these were never
buster than they are today. People
everywhere are thinking of building,
and while in many cases their desire
for homes has not yet resulted in the
starting Of construction, the number
of operations in progress is steadily
becoming larger. Purchases OF lum-
Der in the meantime are increasing,
accompanied by price advance
here and there on specific Items Tor
which there exists strong demand.
Generally speaking, the market re-
mains firm, and there is every indlca-
ton that the volume Of trade will
continue to expand. ...x -.a:f5rI @,.J
Figures show clearly that orders
so far booked this year have slight
sly exceeded production, and that
shipments have almost equalled pro-
duction or orders. Of course, some
shipments were Of orders placed dur
ing 1921, but nevertheless, it is, evil

indicating that the stock was badly

purchasers .been SO DESTROYS of re-
ceiying prompt shipments as during
recent months. Already an occa-
sional complaint is heard that cars
are becoming difficult to secure, and
it seems that car shortage is to be
