The Lumber Market.
Lumber retailers having in many
instances rounded out their stocks
during recent weeks of heavy buy-
ing, trade is now beginning to taper
off in certain important sections
says the American Lumberman. It
appears that this is largely true in
the case of city yards. demand from
country districts still being good. In-p
dustriai and export orders have
shown no decline. Business as a
whole in fact. remains active and
prices have shown no notable recas-
sions. the mills having good order
fies and low, badly broken stocks.
The city yards continue to enjoy a
'big demand consequent to active
building operations. but are cautious
and are endeavouring to keep their
stocks down as much as possible un-
til after the inventories. The result
is that they must frequently come
’ into the market for small lots. this
creating a good demand for transit-
cars.
Railway Equipment.
The “Railway Review" reports
that orders were placed by the rail-
roads within the past week for 49
locomotives of an estimated value of
$3,000,000; fifty passenger cars of
an estimated value of $1,000,000;
and 500 freight cars of an estimated
value of 31.000.000. in addition to
the orders placed. inquiries are re-
ported for 171 locomotives, 39
passenger cars and 5.825 freight
cars.

business was moving forward in
about the best volume reached since
the spring of 1920. says Bradstreets.
Warm weather early in the week
with heaVy rains in wide areas mid-
way of that period. and cool bracing
“mo-phone later on. have tended to
lend an irregular appearance to re-
tail trade. which needs steady cool
weather for its best expression. Job-
bing trade. on immediate delivery
account. is reported about as good as
at any time this fall. Trade in pri-
mary channels is under the check-
rein of conservatism as regards
spring and beyond. In all positions.
careful buying is noted. and there is
a tendency.to scrutinize values. but
the buying ability of the great mass
of the population is unquestioned
except in parts of the west and the
south. when deficient yields could
not be offset by the generally higher
level of prices. As :between trade
and industry. it might be said that
the pace in the latter does not seem
so cini‘ident as at some earlier per-
iods owing to the slower trend in a
few industries such as iron and steel
soft coal. lumber, furniture. eastern
cotton and machinery manufacturing
and some lines of agricultural labor.
Still. even in the first-mentioned
trade. October buying so far is said
to excaed that of September. and
mill operations are only slightly less
active although iron production is
smaller and prices of this product
and of old material still sag. In cot-
material" to a new high levelhas not
earlier. although it is noted that
ties to book up more freely for the
first quarter of next. year. Now,
however; cotton manufacturers are
said to be the unwilflng ones. be-
causeof raw material uncertainties.
Collections, as for a long time past.
show a slower pace than do buying
operations.
In other directions there is little
change from recent weeks. The
weekly Food Index is again a shade
lower. although live stock prices ex.
cept those of hogs. have rallied from
higher. while al the other grains are
lower. Weakness in iron. old metal
and among the non-ferrous metals.
in copper. is marked. and as awhole
declined slightly eqceed advances.
The stock market apparently an-
chored for a long while. has moved
down slightly but bonds have been
active. Pessimism is still marked in
mark, and anthracite b as is ac-
tive. Soft coal output t is year has
only been surpassed by that of the
war year 1918. Car loadsings in-
creased in the second week of Octo-
ber. andwere only a shade below the
.peak week of late Stptember. While
textiles have not been especially ac—
tive at Irst hands. the shoe manu-
facturing trade sends reports of close
to or equal to capacity operation.
The petroleum trade shows no lesson
ing of the depression earlier noted.
but increased 'outputs in new lelds
are reported to have offset reduc-
tions in California output. The au-
tomobile'tra at the largest center
reports littl 'below capacity opera-
tions, and this is apparently con-
firmed by steady buying of steel.
Japanese buying reported last week
is confirmed as regards steel. The

So says Mrs. E. M. Townsend of New
York who has Just returned from a
round of visits to Y. W. _C. A. cen-
ters in Belgium and France. '
- "By .the». terms» of the. Versailles
Treaty. Germany must replace the
loss of the’ priceless Louvain.collec-
tion with monthly shipments." said
Mrs. Townsend yesterday. “Already
over 200.000 books have poured into
Belgium. The treaty gives a. Com-
mission a right of selection from
public or private collections in .Ger‘
many, should their recoil-orients be
unfulfilled." "*
Completion of~ the library is ex-
pected in 1926. Work on the tower
which will be visible from Brussels
and other cities will soon be under
way. .
“To the casual tourist itis dini-
cuit to see many changes in Bel-
gium or France." she continued.
"It is only when you talk to indivi-
duals that you realize the» diner-
ence. Upon the subject of repara-
tion individual opinion is most acute.
The whole agricultural. problem is
giving anxiety to France. The short-
sge of men makes the prevailing de-
sire to go to cities for work. which
is as keen as it is here; very seri-
one."
For Romagne the only American
cemetery that she visited. Mrs.
Townsend had only words of praise.
The well-kept air of its closely
cropped grass and' beds of geranium
give a cheerful air. A stone wall
forms its boundary and trees arein the supreme test. —-Judge.
