This issue will trict which were most directly affect ed by the war stimulus." Thus John T'etrin, chairman of the board and federal reserve agent, sums up the situation in the November resume of business and agricultural conditions. Continuing, tne report says: "All surplus stocks of lumber cut on government orders have been ab sorbed. Mill stocks are 30 per cent below normal, and sales are 20 per cent In excess - of those of a year Volume of buying declined in September of this year, but there fol lowed a strong demand for both do mestic and foreign consumption, which, in spite of the fact that there is normally a seasonal decline, has steadily- increased during October and the early part of November, with prospects of continuing increase in demand tthroughout the winter. De mand is so great as to practically prevent replenishment of depleted mill stocks, and a number of mills are now refusing: to accept new or ders. , During the four weeks ending No vember 1 an average of 122 mills in the Pacific northwest reported pro duction of 330,577,140 feet 4.28 per cent below normal, as compared with 7.83 per cent below normal during the corresponding period in 1918 and. 5. 37 per cent below normal during the pre ceding four weeks. Orders accepted were 26.29 per cent, and shipments 18.65 per cent below actual produc tion,. as compared with 32.23 per cent and 21.4a per cent, respectively, dur ing the. preceding four weeks. An average of 14 California red wood mills reported a cut of 30,553,000 feet, shipments of 22,816,000 feet, ajnA orders received of 30,586,000 feet dur ing the same period. In September, 15 California white pine and sugar pine mills produced 71,715,353 feet, 3hipped 33,566,729 feet, and had un filled orders for 90,394,623 feet on September 30. liuildlna; Activity Ineiram. "Increased building activity is . re sponsible for a considerable portion of the increased demand for lumber. Building permits, instead of showing the. usual, seasonal decline, have steadily increased during the fall months, 19 principal cities reporting permits aggregating $12,116,000 in Oc tober, 1919, as compared with $3,131. 000 in October, 1918, and $11,093,000 in September, 1919. With few ex ceptions the cities of the district re port that building of homes and apartment houses is responsible for 60 to 70 per cent of the permits (by value.) 'The stimulus of high prices, which Increased mining output during the war, has now been offset by declin ing prices for minerals, accompan- j led by increasing price of materials and high cost of labor. As a conse quence all states producing copper, lead and zinc report decreased pro duction in 1919. the reduction in some cases reaching 50 per cent, while only Nevada and Alaska predict that the gold output will equal that of 1918. labor released from mining has either migrated or has been absorbed in other industries. "Domestic commerce continues act ive, with a large turnover of goods and a minimum number of failures. Retail trade was approximately 15 to 20 per cent greater in value in Octo ber than in September, and 80 per cent greater in October, 1919, than in Oc tober, 1918. ' "Bank clearings in the 24 principal cities of the district aggregated $1,736,421,000 in October. 1919, an in crease of 30.47 per cent over October, 1918, and 9.18 per cent over Septem ber, 1919. In the reserve eities in creases over September were as fol lows: Salt Lake City, 14.6 per cent: San Francisco, 10.9 per cent; Los An geles, 10.8 per cent; Spokane, 10.6 per cent; Oakland, 7.7 per cent; Port land, 5.9 per cent.: Tacoma, 1.6 per cent. Decreases were as follows: Seattle. 2.3 per cent, and Ogden,' 0.8 per cent. Interest rates remain un changed, varying from 5H to 6 per tent in industrial centers and aver aging 8 per cent in agricultural sec tions. ' Wheat Acrease Lare. "Winter wheat is now being sown in the Pacific northwest, estimates in dicating that with a continuation of favorable weather conditions fall sown acreage will materially exceed that of 1918.
