The continued excellent building sltuntion In tho south, the good Industrial demand and the brisk ness of export markets combine with tho first factor in creating a satisfactory situation, Douglas fir Is the only wood whleh can not be said to be In good position, clue 'more largely to the heavy production in which the mills have been engaged than to actually poor demand. Double shifts have now . been abandoned on the west coast and many mills have restricted 'their running time to four or five days a week: and this curtailment of o ltpnt is ex pected to have a - strengthening effect on the market. There is very little fir In stock, and t he larger mills, which have not lost their confidence in tho future, continue lo hold their prices firm. H is mostly among- the smaller mills, removed from tidewater ami arc not getting the benefit or cargo business, that prices have softened. Any improvement in tho rail market will quickly bring a strengthening of prices. Western pines, on the other hand, are nninng the strongest woods. While current demand for these has dropped off a little, until recently the call was so heavy as to decrease stocks of many Items to a point of abso-1 lute scarcity. Southern pine demand Is on par with output, and the market j remains very strong.
