PROSPECTS GODD IN LUMBER LINE South Remains Busiest Region—Others Quiet. Quietness continues to prevail in the lumber market, says the American Lumberman. Chicago. The South remains the busiest region. Construction operations in the Midtile West, North and East show fair development Retail lumber dealers arc moving out much lumber from their yards, hut arc pursuing a conservative policy. They are running their stocks down to low levels and most of their orders are small. General industrial activity is halting, production recently having slackened in many important wood-eon-suming trades. Competition for orders is keen, with the result that prices have eased off to where the present market is decidedly in favor of the buyer. Prospects, however, are not discouraging. The feeling is that a gradual betterment in conditions, in and out of the lumber trade, will follow the adjournment of Congress and the presidential nominations. The general disposition meanwhile is to sit tight and await develop rnents. Neither the southern pine nor the Douglas fir market has shown any reportable change since last week. Southern hardwoods have a fair call from flooring and other building material interests, but And a generally listless market. Northern hardwoods, while affected by the dullness of the demand from the au'omobile, box and other large consuming Industries, remain comparatively strong, due to the. continued shortage of dry stocks in Wisconsin and Michigan.

INDIANA GIANT POWER SYSTEMS CREATE INDUSTRY Electric Association Report Sets Out Availability of Sites in Hoosier State, The availibility of sites for giant electric generating stations and contemplated extension of “superpower” systems in northern Indiana will cause great development during the next thirty years, according to a survey made by the National Electric Light Association, made pubiic today. Electric power of the future in this section must be generated largely in steam stations, the report, says, but the location of coal and its nearness to water makes this process easy. The big power producing centers in northern Indiana will be located on Lake Michigan end the Wabash and St. Joseph Rivers. Indianapolis will be one of the big power producing centers, the report says. The committee making the survey is R. F. Schuchardt, Chicago: W. D. Carr, Hammond; L. B. Andrus, Indianapolis, and E. G. Ralston. Indianapolis. Railroads will be electrified sufficiently to include all the terminals in the Chicago district and the divisions terminating in cago, within the next three decades, the report says.
