Lumber Market
Declines Further
The lumber market continues
soft with production about the
normal pace, but a slackening de
mand. Local operators said yester
day, the market for common
dimention material was down
about $5.00 over fhiry days ago
with No. 1 going at $45.00 to
$50.00 The biggest spread on th«*
present market is between cured
and gr«*cn lumber. One operator at
least believes that the spread in
price between dry kiln lumber anti
green lumber will probably nar
row in the future, which will favor
the green mill operator.
Under present conditions run

we were set up to run pictures of
