PREDICTS HIGHER
LUMBER PRICES
Trade Expert Says Increased
Demand in Spring Will At
feet Better Grades.

Throughout the year 1921, although
the general tendency of the wholesale
lumber market was downward. the prin-
cipal construction woods-yellow pine,
North Carolina pine and Douglas fir
held fairly firm and the prices in East
ern market centers to-day are virtually
on the same level as they were at the
beginning of the year, according to
A II. Kriechbaum, vice president OF
Lumber, the national lumber trade
journal.
In reviewing the years market, Mr..
Kriechbaum points out that the market
was on a downward trend when the
year opened and this decline continued,
almost without interruption, until about
October Is. Then buying was resumed
on a fairly large scale and prices be-
gan to climb slowly. continuing upward
until December /. when they struck an
even keel and have remained about at
that level ever since. In the hardwood
department, he says, the advance did
not begin until late in November and
hardwood prices to-day are still rising.
The scarcity OF dry stocks at produo.
ing points indicates very strongly that
hardwood lumber will not decline below
the present level but will probably con-
tinue to rise as spring approaches, es-
pecially on the better grades.
BY the middle of January, after he
inventory period has passed, buying
will undoubtedly be resumed by both he
retail yards and the industrial co lsun,-
ers, and from then on an increased
volume of business Is confidently ex-
pected for the next nine months This
applies to both soft and hardwoods. I'he
principal demand for building lumber
will probably come from the outlying
districts and rural communities wrcre
the demand for housing is still acute
While the contemplated demand dur
ing the spring and summer will un-
doubtedly result in the stiffening or
prices, the ad vance is not expected to
be rapid, and certainly prices VIII not
even approach the peak level Of 1920.
To reach again such an abnormal level
would not be to the best interests OF
the lumber industry or the public at
large, and the lumber producers and
wholesalers themselves fully realize this.
Competition for business will be keener
in 1922 in the lumber business. as 1t
will in all other lines of industry and
able level.
In checking over the prices OF seventy
eight representative items of commercial
lumber handled in the New York mar
ket the last year. Mr.. Kreichbaum finds
that seventy-one have declined In price
while only flve items have actually
shown an advance and two items are
selling at the same price to-day as
they did on January 1. 1921. The ad-
vances occurred in yellow pine, North
Carolina pine and Douglas fir and were
very slight The greatest reductions were
in mahogany and domestic hardwoods.
Others which showed marked declines
during the twelve months were white
pine, spruce. redwood, red cedar and
cypress. North Carolina pine Is on al
most the same level to-day al it was
a year ago. The same is true, pracu-
cally. Of yellow pine and Douglas fir, but
all OF these are higher than they were
three months ago. he says.

Albany, Jan. 8.
Democrats will continue their attacks
on Senator Clayton Il. Lusk, the
majority leader in both houses of the
Legislature tomorrow night. In the
Upper house Senator James J. Walker.
minority leader, will renew his motion
10 expel from the floor of the house the
Rev. o. Fl. Miller because of charges
he made about a motion picture slusn
fund In his defense of Senator Lusk
when he was being criticized for accept
Ing an expensive silver service set from
New York city detectives after he had
sponsored their bill in the Legislature
last year.
Assemblyman Maurice Bloch in the
Assembly is expected to introduce a
resolution calling for an investigation
OF the fund which the New York de-
fectives are alleged to have brought to
Albany in the interest of the detective
bill
Another resolution may be introduced
as the result of the Hirshfield charge
that Senator Lusk used his influence to
forco the Stock Exchange to put a
ticker back in the office of New York
stock broker. for which service he Is
alleged to have accepted a retainer OF
$4,000.
The demand OF the Rev. Mr.. Miller
that an investigation be made of the
charges that the motion picture in
ferests spent a large amount of money
in their efforts to defeat the movie
censorship bill, is likely to bring forth
another resolution to start probe In
10 all lobbies.
The Republicans are not expected to
