LUMBER BUSINESS IS GOOD
Stocka in West Coast Mills Are Badly
Broken, Says Report.
Seattle.—Commercial lumber busi­
ness has resumed in good volume, ac­
cording to a statement issued Thurs­
day by Robert B. Allen, secretary-
manager of the West Coast Lumber­
men’s association. The recovery, how­
ever, ye said, has not yet reached the
$26 average to which the war indus­
tries board declared it was entitled,
and costs since the signing of the
armistice have increased 23' cents a
thousand feet.
Lumber stocks In West Coast mills,
the statement adds, are badly broken.
The association’s stock report showed
flooring stocks 65 per cent of normal,
celling 45 to 87 per cent of normal,
drop siding from 52 per cent below
normal to 20 per cent above, finish
lumber from 32 below to 8 above nor­
mal, and other lumber grades simi­
larly affected. During April stocks
decreased 1.63 per cent.
During December, January, Febru­
ary, March and April, the statement
said, the lumber industry absorbed
extremely heavy losses, but recently
prices have stiffened until discount
sheets show an advance of $6 or more
in nearly all grades. Actual average
sales, however, are somewhat below
this advance, it was stated.
