Orders Exceed Production and Prices Show
Tendency to Become More Firm
The lumber market is making steady progress,
according to the American Lumberman. Nu-
merous buyers are visiting producing sections
and a good deal of quiet buying is under way. A
good deal of buying is also being done at the
annual meetings of retail associations, some of
which were held last week, although most will
be held during the next three weeks.
A survey of stocks in manufacturers' hands
does not reveal a great deal of unsold lumber.
While there has been some accumulation during
the last six weeks in Southern pine territory,
stocks are broken and the present volume of de-
mand is more than sufficient to take care of cur-
rent production. As there is every reason to ex-
pect an increase in demand, it is evident that the
market faces a period of activity with strength-
ening prices.
On the Pacific Coast the export demand shows
less activity, particularly that from Japan. The
cargo mills, however, have on hand a large vol-
ume of export cutting orders, with the result
that they will not be particularly anxious for
special cutting for several weeks. Yard stocks
are badly broken and prices show a decided up-
ward tendency.
In the North Carolina pine district stocks are
badly broken and orders for such shipments are
the rule rather than the exception. Prices are
firm with an upward trend.
Stocks of hardwoods, both in the North and in
the South, are unusually small. The last year
witnessed exceptionally low hardwood produc-
tion and, as buying by industrial concerns shows
a steady and constant increase, there is foreseen
an active market that will sustain prices. The

* FOR YOU
Are you still wasting your time and go-
ing to the expense of scraping off old
varnish and shellac to eliminate the
checks and cracks in order to secure a
smooth surface for rennishing?
Use Behlen's Vamish Crack Eradica-
tor.
It saves time, trouble and incidentally
expense, at the same time giving you as
fine a body surface for the new finish
as you could possibly wish for.
A sample can for trial awaits your

ion that getting hardwood lumber will be a big-
ger problem than selling it. The outstanding
feature of the week was a favorable decision by
the Interstate Commerce Commission in the
hardwood rate case, railroads being ordered to
make substantial reductions in rates on hard-
wood lumber from the South.
In the pine-producing regions of the West,
and in the pine and hemlock manufacturing dis-
trict of the North, the demand has shown some
increase. Orders, as is natural at this season,
very materially exceed production and are rap-
idly eating into stocks available for sale. Prices
show a firming up tendency.
