Improvement SEEN
IN BRICK INDUSTRY
Manufacturers Association
Statement Shows 74,500,-
600 Made in Past Month.

Improvement Of the situation with
regard to tho brick manufacturing
industry over conditions existing a
year ago are marked. according to
a statement issued by the Common
Brick Manufacturers Association.
Today the proportion Of orders on
the books to stock on hand is 6s.9
per cent. On January 1, 1921. 1t was
AIS per cent. In proportion to the
number Of firms reporting. the stock
on hand is approximately the same
as it was twelve months ago, diff
ference in the relation of the two
items resulting from a much greater
volume of business on the books.
The outlook fof the brick manufac-
turer is in every way more favorable
than 1t was 4 year ago.
Drop in Prices.
The price Of brick per thousand at
the plant q year ago ranged from $14
to $2s, while today the range is from
$40 to $40, the higher price at this
time applying only to the high-grade
brick made in New England, which
are commonly used for facing pur-
poses. The composite price today is
$13.47, which is about so per cent
lower than the composite of a year
ago. The price is more stable and
better eQualized throughout the
country.
The industry has for three months
experienced a slight improvement in
demand. which shows no sign OF
slumping and which promises at the
resumption Of building in the spring
than has been attained at any time
during the year 1921. 1t is believed
that there are two elements re-
sponsible for the improved condition
in the industry. The general better
ment of Industrial and financial con-
ditions should be mentioned first.
For the first time reliable data upon
the strength and fire resistance OF
brickwork Is being built up for en-.
gineering use. A nationwide enort
Is also being made to correct oullo-
ing codes in the cities where an ex-
cess amount of brick has been re-
ouired, due to the lack Of engineering
knowledge Of the material. While this
results in the reduction OF wall thick
ness and reduces the amount OF brick
required in any specific job. 1T on the
whole widens the field in which brick
may be used by lowering the cost OF
brickwork. This effort toward con-
servation Of materials and lowering
Of construction cost, so far as brick
is concerned, originated with the in
dustry and is vigorously prosecuted
by it.
Bright Prospects.
The brick industry may feel at the
beginning Of the new year that its
house is in better order in many re-
spects than It has ever been before.
Greater enterprise and merchandising
sense on the part of the manufactur-
ers, exemplified by the national and
local advertising. is putting the brick
Industry in the ranks with other
leading basic commodities which for
years have recognized the value of
publicity.
The Industry goes into the new year
with an exceedingly small stock of
brick on hand. In many sections the
climatic conditions are closing the
plants, SO that little addition to the
stock will be made until the resump-
ton Of activities in the spring. 1t is
believed that few manufacturers will
feel any hesitancy in making plans

PRICES OF LUMBER
HOLD SAME LEVEL
Principal Construction Woods
Do Not Drop With Lower
General Trend in 1921.

Although the general trend in price
OF the wholesale lumber market dur
Ing 1921 was downward, the princi-
pal construction woods-yellow pine,
North Carolina pine and Douglas fir
held fairly firm, with prices in the
eastern market today virtually on
the same level as they were at the
beginning Of last year, according to
A. r. Kriechbaum. vice president Of a
national trade lumber journal.
In reviewing the years market, Mr..
krieschbaum pointed out that the
market was on q downward trend
when the year opened, and this de-
cline continued, almost without in
terruption. until about October Is.
Then buying was resumed on q fairly
large scale. and prices began to climb
slowly, continuing upward until De-
cember 1. when they struck an even
keel and have remained about at that
level ever since. In the hardwood de-
partment, however. the advance did
not begin until late in November. and
hardwood prices today are still rising.
Prices to Remain Same.
THE scarcity Of dry stocks at pro-
ducing points indicates very strongly
that hardwood lumber will not de-
probably continue to rise as spring
approaches. especially on the better
grades" he Stated. "By the middle
of January. after the inventory
period has passed. buying will un-
doubtedly be resumed by both the re-
- dc
sumers. and from then on an increased
volume of business is confidently ex-
pected for the next nine months
This applies to both soft and hard
woods. The principal demand for
building lumber will probably come
from the outlying districts and rural
communities, where the demand for
housing is still acute.
while the contemplated demand
during the spring and summer will
undoubtedly result in the stiffening
of prices. the advance is not expected
will not even approach the peak level
of 1920. To again reach such an alb
normal level would not be to the best
interests Of the lumber industry or
the public at large. and the lumber
producers and wholesalers themselves
Competition for business will be
keener in 1922 in the lumber business,
as it will in all other lines Of in
dustry, and this will tend to hold
values to a reasonable level. 1t should
be remembered. however. that for
more than q year the lumber pro-
ducers have been selling their prod
ucts at very little profit and in nu-
merous instances below cost Of pro-
duction.
Volume OF Business Small.
"The volume of business for 1921,
taken as g. whole. was small, and
many mills have been closed down for
months. To resume operation and re-
enter the market these mills must be
assured q reasonable price for their
lumber. Otherwise they will remain
shut down. The conclusion which at
present seems definite, therefore, is
that the wholesale price of lumber
in the. east today is considerably
lower than 1t will be sixty and ninety
days hence. The construction lum-
ber market is bound to advance above
its present level. and the hardwood
market is already advancing
