Week's Lumber Demand
In Excess of Output
Production and shipments of the
principal softwoods during the
week ended July 11 were reduc- l
by holiday shutdowns, but orders
('outlined to flow in, and ror the
week amounted to eleven per cent
more than wns cut. Consump
tion has continued heavy, June
building contracts being forty per
cent ahead of last year, accord
ing to figures representing seven
eights of the country's total, an.l
thirty-nine per cent of these were
for residences. Country buyers
jare preparing for fall demand.
