In its wéekly review of the lumber t, the American Lumberman While the demand for luniber d the market strong- was two weeks ago; the o miuch & sfior‘lg of ‘éguipment % of fuel which- has prevented the railrodds fwony moving empty equip- nient to.points where it is needed. Increasing demand’ from the coun- try and a better tone in the indus- trial market make up for slacken- itig i building in someé of the large cities. Unsold stocks remain small and production has shown some de- crease. A number are putting gfl' purchases temporarily, altho admit- ting. that the lumber will be needed badly in sixty to ninety days. The Jumber trade holds that. this policy is unwise, inasmuch as onc ethe coal dtrike is settled, all available cars have to be employed for coal ship- ments, which with ‘the movement of farm’ products, is belived to be sure to ‘cause very congiderable difficul- ty in getting: lumber: shipments thru. A great many retajl . lumbermen Handle coal and'among them the be- lief iy freely. expressed that this win- ter straight trainloads of coal are going to take precedence over all other traffic, -ineluding . passenger traffic. “ige CAMPAIGN FOR PEACE " BEGINS IN U, S.
