RUSH
OUTPUT FOR
WINTER
Their Latest Broadside Deals
With Market Conditions
in General.

Not since the war have the brick
men gone into the closing months
of the year with such determination
to pile up stock as is manifested in
current reports Of 1872 manufacturers
doing business in forty-three States.
The situation on the Hudson river,
which provides the brick supply for
Greater New York operations, is in
dicative of what is going on in all
the large brick producing centers.
By the. time Hudson river naviga-
ton opens next spring it is antici-
pated that the plants along the river
will have 600, 900 900 brick ready for
shipment to their markets. This is
so per cent greater than the winter
stock in any recent year.
Plants are running at full time
and will continue until freezing
weather stops operations. Those
plants equipped for winter running
will continue throughout the interim
before the coming season. These
preparations are going on with the
New York manufacturers in spite
of the fact that quantities of for
eign brick still lie on barges at the
docks and many more millions of
brick are on their way from Holland
and Germany.
There apparently is not much left
of the buyers strike and operations
are at the usual volume in nearly
all parts Of the country. The orders
on the books, according to current
reports, have increased during the
past thirty days. while tho stocks
of burned brick are just about
holding their own. Prices remain
stable, ranging from $11 to $22, ac-
cording to the amount of transpor-
tation necessary to put the brick
on the job. The large production
figures and the state of the orders
on the books are encouraging in
view Of the fact that many yards
are closing for the winter. due to
weather conditions.
The brickmen observe with some
interest the published statement that
lumbermen are preparing
10 shin 5000. 600 900 feet to Japan.
Since the order from Japan equals
about 40 per cent of the total con-
of lumber in this country
IN an average year, and the source
of lumber is rapidly diminishing, it
is apparent that many operations
which might normally go in lumber
will seek other materials This con-
dition it is believed will give new
impetus to the already growing de-
mand for brick. The brick manu-
facturer generally has never looked
to residence construction for a mar
ket. Cooperative advertising effort,
however, in the past few years has
been directed largely to the home
builder and the results attained have
caused the manufacturers to think
more seriously OF this market.
In a normal year the United States
should build 100000 homes. II %
per cent of these should have ex-
