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

"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.

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."

' FORECASTS.
Portland and vicinity Fair; westerly
winds.
Oregon and Washington Fair west por
tion, probably showers and cooler eat
portion; moderate westerly winds.
. 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."

Europe and Orient Have Taken
29,381,342 Bushels From the
Northwest During Season.
Portland is exporting more wheat and
flour this season than ever before, but
the total movement from all north Pacific
ports has not yet established a record
though it is close to it. The Columbia
river this season is forwarding about four
times as mucr. grain as Puget sound
whereas in former years the movement
was more" evenly divided.
From the beginning of the crop year,
July 1, 1920, to may 18, 1921, exports of
wheat to Europe and the orient from all
north Pacific porta totaled 29,381,542 bush
els. This included flour on the basis of
four and one-half . bushels of wheat to
barrel of flour. The exporters and the
quantities they shipped were:

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.
ALL WHEAT GRADES CENT HIGHER
Hard White and Club Bids Raised to
$1.41 Coarse Grains Steady.
With the eastern markets strong, wheat
bids at the Merchant's Exchange were ad
vanced 1 cent on all grades yesterday. The
usual amount of business was reported
done In the country.
The coarse grains were unchanged from
Friday, except No. 2 May corn, which was
25 cents higher on bid.
A report from Springfield. 111., sal.1
farmers were willing to contract new
wheat at $1 a bushel net to them.
John Inglis reported crop conditions
from Grand island: "Wheat through
Seward, York and Adams counties has
lost its early promise; some very good
fields; the larger acreage has thinned ou. ;
present conditions Indicate yield from
eight to 15 bushels."
