DEMAND FOR LUMBER
HEAVY FOR DECEMBER
Buyers Are Eager to Beat
Spring Building Rush.

Lumber production is declining. as
mills are closing down for seasonal
repairs. As order files are very heavy
and manufacturers are eager TO thin
them out as much as possible before
the spring buying rush starts in, as
Well as to prevent stocks from becom-
ing further depleted, this repair work
will be rushed and operations will be
resumed as soon as practicable.e
Unfavorable weather in some Sec
tions, notably on the West coast, has
also forced reduction in output.
Orders meanwhile are holding up re-
markably well. Retailers and other
consumers are getting busy with inven-
tories, and when possible are deferring
purchases until after their compile
tion: but building and industrial activ-
ity necessitate trading that in the ag-
gregate is unusually heavy for the
latter part of December.
An increasing number OF retailers and
large Industrial buyers have been CON-
ing into the market lately for lumber
for spring shipment. in order to escape
the rush Which undoubtedly will de-
velop next month. Inquiries from all
trades and sections are very numerous,
and generally are for large quantities
OF material. Shipments are coming
through more freely. due to the greatly
relieved car situation. This betterment
has occurred especially IN the East and
South Railroads and car builders con-
tinue to be important factors on the
Southern pine and Douglas fir markets.
1t is understood that the former are
planning the construction of many
thousands of locomotives and freign
cars to cost several hundred million
dollars during the next two to four
years.
The opinion is that the sizable busi-
ness already placed has been only a
foretaste of what is to come. Other
industrnls are also big factors IN the
present and prospective situation. 1ue
to their operations the hardwood mar
ket remains very active and strong.
Dry hardwood stocks are constantly
becoming scarcer and as production
has been and apparently Will continue
to be greatly restricted by labor and log
Shortages and other circumstances, IL ls
not probable that any great amounts OF
stock will be offered next spring. Inc
stock situation, in fact Is so ominocs
that many large consumers are pnsNs
green lumber rather than take chauce
on being able to get material iateFT
Taking the lumber situation as a
whole, stocks of everything deslripie
are very low, without prospect OF male
rial increase; /current demand Is ex-
cellent and prospects are very iaVor-
able. while prices show no weaknesS'
but rather a distinct upward TENDENCY
that may quickly assert ITSELF with the
broadening of buying.
