Hhowt'd shipments uiuountiiitf to
Its.G'j per cent of production; West
Coast Lumbermen's Association
inlit shipments of l.tilS million feet
lor the first sixteen weeks or the
year showed u comfortable exeesy
over the production of 1 . 5 1 J mil
lion feci. Total nationul loading
of forest products for the
ended April 12 amounted to 7G.olt
cars, 7U4 cars under I hi total for
Ihu veeli ended April 5 tin; de

only about 1 per cent. Orders

cent of uctual pruductioa; booking
by Southern I'ine Association mills
were Do per cent, and by West
('o:isl I.umbernien'H Association
mills, !u pur eent. of output.
Recently there have been scat
tered reports of concessions in
prices, but undoubtedly these do
not indicate, a fcenerul weakening
in the market. When progress in
building was rularted by bad
weather, retail yards, very fully
stocked, cuased buying, and cars
in transit had to find sale at u
sacrifice; transits now are fewer.
Southern pine mills have found In
exports an offset to slow domestic
demand; March overm.-tia Hhipments
showed an increase of 4G.2 per
cent over those of February. - West
(.'oust mills are meeting I he pres
ent lull by curtailment, for they
lake the stand Uiul production at
lower prices is Impossible.
Coast, producers 'illd present ex
port trade slow, though prospects
for the imniediutae. future are ex
ceptionally good. The dullness of
Hi" southern 'allfornia market Is
balanced by i tier caned consumption
In the northern part of the SI at it,
but tlie- quarantine established
against California is affecting the
movement of lumber through lis
ports to ArlxunfL and other inland
markets. As ('oust mills continue
to refuse low price business und
lire determined against accumulat
ing surpluses, curtailment of out
put Is general. Loggers are un
willing to produce at a lows and, to
meet the general weakness of Hie
Jog market. 1'iiiret -Sound loggers
will close- down Ihelr camps de("in
Ilety on May I, and will probably
be followed by British t Columbia
milts. i
The outstanding feature, or tin:
hardwood market is th revival of
fot'ign demand, which icoim s op
portunely, and offsets Hie dermis"
in takings by Ihe autoinoblb- and
furniture industries. The Amer
ican Overseas Forwarding Co. has
bookings totaling uboul eigiit'n
hundred cars the largest amount
ever had on its books while pros-,
peets are for a further expansion1
In foreign takings. Prices are
rather weak and reduction have!
been made In Items for the ilium y- J
tic market. Construction Indus-1
tries continue to lake lurgei
amounts, the flooring factories be-
lug still behind on (heir orders.
.Hardwood men are rirm In their
'belief that Improved weather will
bring a deeirbd slrenKlhening or

STABILITY OF
POLAND CAUSED
BY INTEGRITY
GKNRVA (AP) Poland, lke
Austria and Hungary, Is pi nig
gling with the problem of financial
reconstruction und, according to
Ant nine Wlc.nluwukl. the Polish
member of the permanent eco
nomic advisory committee of the
League of Nations, Is slowly win
ning through the united und patri
otic efforts of thopeoplc and gov
eminent. Mr. Wlenluwsk! emphasized first
of all that bolsheviKin has no
chance in his country. Th dan
ger period of llMO-ao. when bol
shevik propaganda was at .Its
height, had definitely passed, in
his opinion. At the end of last year
II took 6, otto, 000 polish marks to
buy a dollar and the entire ecn.
no ink- life of the nation wts
threatened. A big deficit appeared
In the bud ire t. Aunlvlmr drastic
I remedies, the government decided
to fix the payment of all taxes u:
gold francs. This system was In
augurated on the, first of the year
1 und is working well, he said.
Moreover, a tax on fortunes Is ex
. peeled to yield 4uu. 000,000 gold
francs by the end of 1926. An
other step lo be tak''n soon will
be the creallun of a bank of issue
haM-d on the same 'principle as
the Austrian bank arranged by the
league of Nations. . ...
Mr. Wleniwski went on: "Wo
have roughly stabilized the Polish
mark at 9,oon,uuu to the dollar. It
I:; est I mated 1 hat the Polish peo
ple, I h rough fear of t he further
depreciation of the local currency
have put aside gold to the value
of ? 1 20,000.000, but their confi
dence being restored, they are now
beginning 16 sell their dollars and
I have ael tially offered t he state
l2,uoo.oo(i gold which the state
has purchased at the prevailing
rate of exchange. Our economic
life is slowly but surely adjusting
Itself In a healthful manner." . .
