from advertisements put in Miu

Roseburg and Douglas County as

Business Slow,
Index Reveals
Crow's Lumber Price Index
showed a gradual downtrend in all
species during the two week pe
riod ending April 28, as spring busi
ness throughout most of the coun
try continued to be disappointing.
Green fir prices showed weak
ness in random loadings of 2x6
and 2x8 in standard and better
with other widths managing to hold
last week's level. The cargo mar
ket for both fir and hemlock lost
ground during the period, Crow's
reported, reflecting an oversupply
situation in the consuming areas.
Dry dimension showed few chang
es, but sales continued to be spot
ty. Pine area producers found gen
erally steady demand for dimen
sion items, with some noting
stronger prices on dry 2x10s.
Boards from these mills were in
light demand, and some items lost
ground in price. Most of the weak
ness in boards was evident in 6.
8 and 10-inch widths, as steadiness
was reported in 12-inch in most
grades.
Douglas Fir plywood mills found
trading in sanded stock, and more
production curtailment- has been
noted. Prices remain spread from
$li4 to S68, although little firm bust
ness has been reported at the high
er figures. Sheathing activity has
been light, but prices are holding.

Postcards Returned
Postcards have been streaming
in this week in reply to inquiries
sent to many chambers of com

The local chamber enclosed the return-addressed
cards with letters
asking these groups whether they
would be interested in handling
county brochures. Each of the re
turned cards ask for the literature
and one asked for 300 brochures.
Most of the replies were from
California and other southern ci
ties. Five air-mail letters were re
ceived Tuesday in response to a
classified ad appearing in Sunday's
Chicaeo Tribune, inviting retired
couples to come to Douglas Coun
ty. One letter staled that the par

and coming west. The others ex
pressed definite interest. Many
more letters came during the week.
