FEDERAL REPORT QUOTED West Coast Lumbermen Send Out Bulletin Regarding Work Done. Last Year. " All .Pacific northwest lumber pro - duction records were broken by the Oregon and Washington lumber out 'put for 1920. according to figures compiled by the United States forest service hpret anil n n nnnnrri hv thA west Coast Lumbermen a association. The report showed that the two states produced 8,841.58,000 feet of lumber In 1920. The figures showed that 16.5 per cent of the total cut was consumed in the two states, and 17.1 per cent In the states of California, Arizona end New Mexico. Shipments also were shown to have been sent to practically all parts of the world, al though the larsrer nercentaee of the rut was disposed of In the United btates. The cut was shown to have been an Increase of 12 per cent over 1919, 21 per cent over 1918 and 66 per cent ever 191a, Oregon Cat Grows. "Oregon produced 3,316,902.000 feet, which was an increase of 13 per cent over 1919; an increase of 22 per cent " over 1918; and an increase of 96 per cent over 1913," said the report. Washington produced 5,524,676,000 feet, which was an increase of 11 per cent over 1919; an increase of 20 per . cent over 1918; and an icrease of 40 ; per cent over 1913. "Oregon contains 493.000,000,000 feet of standing timber. Washington con tains 334,000.000,000 feet of standing timber. Combined, these two states . contain more timber suitable for lum ber than the entire dominion of Can ada. "The two states went into 1921 with manufactured stocks, at the mills, to taling 2,712.824,000 feet. Of this amount, 2,084,693.000 feet was west of the Cascade mountains, and 628, 131,000 feet was east of the Cascades. Dongrlaa Fir Mala Product. a iic jji uuucLiun oi igusias xir, in the two states, in 1920, was 6.622,974. 000 feet, or 77 per cent of the entire production. "Oregon produced 2,347,850,000 feet , of Douglas fir. of which amount 2.291,967,000 feet was manufactured west of the Cascade mountains. "Washington produced 4,275,124,000 feet of Douglas fir, of which 4,157, 125 feet was manufactured west of the Cascade mountains. "N The 1920 lumber production in the two states, summarized, was as follows: making retraction for a statement which Lord Northcliffe made at "the dinner of American dry-goods men here May 3. In his speech Lord Northcliffe said that "practically the American hostility over the oil ques tion was based on the statement of a 'second-rate financier not of English birth." Lord Northcliffe, in his letter, stated that he now realizes these re marks were "unwise and unwar ranted." and he "hastens to express his sincere regret and offer an un qualified retraction." The letter adds: "Your position here and on the other side of the Atlantic is such that no encomium from me is neces sary." Sir Edward replied, accepting the "apology and withdrawal in the spirit in which they are offered." He added that "to refer slightingly to a Cana-dian-born British subject as not of British birth could not be but deeply resented." m INSECURITY MARKETS ERRATIC as members of the state lime board. The appointments of Mr. Moore and Mr. Cordley were ma'de at largt by the governor, while the appointment of Mr. Leedy was made on recom mendation of the Oregon State Grange.

BY STUART P. WEST, (Special Correspondent of The Oregonian. . Copyright. 1921.) NEW YORK, May 21. The security markets, since the termination of the acute strain and panic condition at the close of last year, hare had two false starts on the road to recovery. One of these came In January, the other in April, and the characteristics In both cases were too much optimism regarding the position of out side trade. These upturns have been fol lowed by reactions which have not In any sense been a renewal of the major down ward movement, but have simply been secondary declines due to disappointment because . business conditions -have not mended as .fast as looked tor and because In the aftermath of the great industrial depression of 1920 there have come nu merous cuttings and passings of dividends which bad not been sufficiently reckoned upon. Improvement Only Bally. There Is no use denying that In cer tain directions the course of the recent trade movement has been disappointing. The improvement In the motor industry, about which so much was said a month ago and which really formed the most important Incentive for the April rise in stocks, proved to have been nothing more than a temporary rally. In the same way the oil trade has not sustained the signs of recovery which appeared so promising a few weeks ago. There is a difference of opinion as to whether the recent price cutting is due to a real excess of supply over demand or whether It Is simply the effort of cer tain of the big Interests to better their position at the expense of smaller rivals. But In either event, the oil business, in stead of ranking with those which have turned tbe corner, has been set back Into the uncertain class. Stock Market Advance Undone. The stock market, following closely these adverse Incidents in the commercial situation, has undone quite a part-of the April advance, the same as the January rise was pretty well effaced by the down ward turn in February and Marcn. There is no suggestion, however, of Wall street getting- Into any such state of mind as It was in fve months ago. So far as the disappointments in the trade move ment are concerned, they are merely a case of hope deferrd. The best opinion is still strongly Inclined, as- it ever has been, to look for a more sustained and general recovery toward the end of the summer, or perhaps the early autumn. It is true that even then no uniform advance is conceded. Steel men, for in stance, think that while their business may be better toward the end of the year, no real revival will com nntll the spring of 1922. Much depends, for the steel mills and the equipment concerns as well,, on what sort of a wage adjustment is going to be announced by the labor board on June 1. But barring these and other par ticular instances- where improvement may be retarded, and considering simply the business volume as a whole, the prognosis la that with the course of the year things will gradually get better and prepare the way for a period of comparative prosperity in the succeeding 12 months. This view has been expressed publicly by the sec retary of the treasury and by others In high places, it unaouoteaiy represents ine preponderent sentiment among business men. Darkest Clouds Paused. With all the uncertainty Involving un pleasant incidents, such as the passing of dividends and the publication of bad earn ings statements, it still remains true that the darkest clouds have passed over ths head of the financial community and ap pear now only as they recede into the farther distance. It is worth while, in getting at a proper mental state toward the present condition of things, to aecall the situation of a year ago? Then we were at the peak of the credit strain brought about by war inflation of output an1 prices. The federal reserve board had applied the brakes, but as yet without checking the upward course of bank loans. Everybody knew that deflation must come and there was the gravest fear that it would result in a disastrous panic. Then, too, men were talking, not only about the ominous outlook In this country, but about the crisis throughout the world. They were picturing the nations of Europe aa bank rupt, if not actually, at least prospectively, but their income was still greater than their outgo and the payment of war ob ligations. The difference between then and now In these two vital respects Is an enor mously Important difference. Since Christ mas week, when the strain was at 1U worst, the federal reserve system has add ed, chiefly through gold imports, ):124, 000,000 to Its holdings of the precious metal. It has reduced Its discounts of all classes by the tremendous sum of $1,050, 000,000 and a good deal more than halt oa this reduction has occurred In commer cial lines. These changes have brought the reserve ratio up from 45. to nearly 57 per cent, tne highest since the midsummer of 1018. . Tide Turns In Europe. The turn In the European economic sit uation has been quite as extraordinary as this Improvement In our credit conditions. Greats Britain has held its budget and ex pects to pay off .this year fully a billion dollars of its war debt. France within the last six months has reduced Its ex ternal obligations more than a half billion dollars.. When Germany begins to liqui date its Indemnity the entente countries will be able to pay off at even more rapid rate. These accomplishments, along with the deflation in wages and the Increase of 27 per cent since last year in the purchasing power of the dollar. Indicate the arrival of a situation which, if some distance away from normal, at least is entirely sound. Compared with changes so fun damental, , the question of the Immediate trade future whether or not there are to be three to six months more of dullness and lean profits is obviously of small importance. FARMER HELD HAMPERED Transportation Rates Declared Ruinous to Industry. ROSEBURG, Or., May 21. (Special.) Transportation rates reduced suf ficiently to allow the American farmer an opportunity to compete on an equal basis with foreign produc ers, is the only thing that will restore the agricultural industry, George . Mansfield, president of the Oregon state farm bureau, told the Douglas county farm bureau members in an open meeting here today. "Argentine wheat can- be put into New York by boat for 10 cents a bushel." Mr. Mansfield said. "While it costs 30 cents to get Kansas wheat to New York and 37 cents to get wheat to that market from points farther west. In the past three years we have imported 300,000.000 more pounds of dressed beef than we have exported." GENERAL IS IN CORVALLIS U. G. McAlcxander to Make Visit to Newport This Spring.

All others Total Including wheat and flour shipments to California, the Atlantic seaboard, the eaBt and west coasts of South America, South Africa and Hawaii, as well as Europe and the orient, the 'total from the Pacific northwest to May 1 amounted to 30,086. 438 bushels. In the corresponding period last season total shipments were 30.258,506 bushels and two years ago they were 20,- 110,810 bushels. For the ten years pre ceding 1919 exports during the same months averaged about 26,000.000 bushels. The record movement from the northwest during the ten active shipping months was in 1908, when total exports to May 1 reached 40,893.183 bushels. It Is the general opinion in the grain trade that close to 8,000.000 bushels of last year's crop remain to be sold, and if the foreign demand continues, as It probably will, this should be disposed of before new wheat comes on the market.
