Black's Grocery Corner Adams and Fir Street Main 16 t 5- SEE INCREASE For many weeks Pacific coast man ufacturers have been firmly confident that the early months of the present year would witness a steady improve ment m demand and a steady firming up of prices, says the American Lumberman. Current) reports from many of the mills now bring confirma tion of the forecast of preceding weeks. In the early months in 1915 this branch of the lumber industry was far from satisfactory.' The trouble has been variously attributed to overproduction and underconsump tion. During the latter part of the year manufacturers reduced the pro duction and the situation has gradual ly become clearer. This to a great ex tent was helped by the steadiness of the southern yellow pine market and, all factors considered, it would seem that fir prospects are brighter now than they have been within the last two years, and it is argued that by curtailment and the improvement in the other branches of the industry a good foundation has been laid for Pa cific coast woods. Lumber trade con ditions on the Coast are expected shortly to reflect better business con ditions,' To help along the good work of greater curtailment western Wash ington and Oregon are experiencing this week the worst atmospheric con ditions in years. Temperature close to zero, log ponds frozen, which has necessitated the shutting down of mills, and a fall of snow ranging from several inches to several feet have put a stop to logging opera tions. It is estimated that only about 30 percent of the total capaciy of the mills on the Coast are in operation; this 30 percent being favorably locat ed on deep water. The interior mills are mostly closed. Logs are becoming scarcer. (With such a situation it is only1 reasonable that prices should bff come better', not only in fir but in cedar and spruce, for logs ore only sufficient to keep the 30 percent of mills operating. It is true that the number of orders coming in are not large, but buyers find some difficulty m placing business at jresent prices. The last week discounts of 60 cents have been sent out by a number of manufacturers on dimension, boards, shiplap and small timbers, and $1 on large timbers. One of the features of the present Improvement to market conditions ds the demand from rail roads, which are buying considerable lumber at the present 'market. Car builders have brought about a pen- era! revival of interest, which is re flected in going prices. This demand has caused a stiffening in railroad end car material prices from $1 to $3.50; ties have advanced B0 cents. Mill stocks generally are not heavy and the fact that weather conditions have suspended logging operations or made them elow and difficult speaks well for the stability of west coast woods. Fir has become a favorite in the older set tled sections of the middle west and shows a steady and healthy inquiry. Wlhile the country yards have not shown any disposition to place spring orders the situation holds much to warrant the prevalent belief that this condition is only temporary, and that after tho retailers' conventions have been held buying will show an activ ity that will make up for the lull that has prevailed during the holiday and during the inventory poriod. Red cedar shingles hold firm at $1.45 to $1.50 for stars and about $1.80 for clears. Output is away below normal and shingle logs arc very scarce. In California a firming up tendency is noticed all along tho line. Redwood prices have advanced $4 a thousand, reported to be caused by an increase in building activity in that state. Sugar pine and white pine are steady. In thu Inland Empire lumber- values are improving; logs are scarce and have advanced from B0 cents to $1 n W1UUSUI1U. Bel. Trule Mul. U. a Pit.
