Consensus of Economists
Show That Construction,
to Slump Somewhat
Reviewing the , lumber market
the American Lumberman, Chica
go, says:
Demand for... lumber,- has ex
panded in those sections favored
by , good weather, and Is best in
the southern states, for snow and
cold in the north and, east practi
cally stopped construction. Total
orders 1 for softwood booked dur
ing the week ended Jan. 22 nev
ertheless amounted to thirteen per
cent more than was produced
While 'production ran about fif
teen per cent below normal orders
were only five per cent below,
Southern pine mills booked orders
fully equal to their output, .during
the week, and bookings of West
Coast niills exceeded their present
low output by eight per cent, .
A good deal of attention is be
ing given to building prospects by
both manufacturers and retailers
of lumber. The consensus of
economists appears to be that to
tal : volume of new construction
will fall slightly below the
amount : for last year. Lumber
men take great encouragement
from the prediction that a larger
percentage of the total will be
residential construction, which'
calls for the use of more wood.
They therefore, see reason to ex
pect a 'good year's business! But
the reiailers are evidently plan
ning to continue to buy on ..band
to mouth basis, merely filling in
stocks and not generally increas
ing 'them. Lumber manufacturers
show ah Inclination to go iov in
producing lumber until yard
stocks begin to move out to build
ing! jobs. The attitude of the
trade promises greater price sta
bility during the new season. Quo
tations, have shown no ".recent

SLIGHT BUJLCIirjG
DECLlfJE IN SIGHT
General Tendency Heading
Toward Smaller Buildings
During 1927
The prediction , that 1927 will
see more buildings put up, yet a
smaller volume of construction in
dollars and square feet than 1926
is made by M. G. Farrell in the
February 1st issue of "Forbes
Magazine." Mr. Farrell, says,
"Housing construction, generally,
seems most likely to increase in
volume this year. The demand
for small homes is still far beyond
the supply provided, in 1924 to
1926
, "The margin of profit is slen
der but as builders will have less
choice this year than last, it is
quite likely that they may turn to
smadl dwellings.
''An increase in the construc
tion of public buildings is certain.
Many of these projects have been
deliberately withheld from action,
but are now being released. In
dustrial building will about hold
its own.
"Upon the whole, the percent
age of vacancies in office build
ings of all kinds has reached a
point at which conservatism would
dictate a limitation of this class
of construction to replacements
and" sure-fire operations.
"The same applies to the big,
high-class elevator apartments
and apartment hotels, both of
whieh are exceptionally sensitive
to fluctuations in the demand for
space, because their tenantrpros-
pect field is a highly limited one.
"Moderate-priced elevator
apartments and walk-ups of the,
better grade are in demand, so
that the volume of new construc
tion of both will probably exceed
that of last year. ,
"In brief," concludes "Forbes
Magazine."' "the year promises a
smaller volttme of construction in
dollars. and square feet : of space,
but a large number of buildings
with a :: tendency away from big
buildings and towards small Ones.
There is a prevalent opinion that
the dollar total. for 1927. wil be
less than for 1926 by 10 to 15
per cent.

Large and. Unexpected Gain
during Week
In its. weekly review of the! lum
ber market, the American Lumber
man, Chicago, says: There appears
to be a gpod deal of activity de
veloping in the softwood market
for so early in the season, orders
booked by the principal) mills' dur
ing the week ended Jaa.r 13 hav
ing" amounted to twenty-twb : per
cent more than their production.
In some regions production is oar-J'
tailed,' -but those groups -of j mills
having a Standard for normal pro
duction bad orders three, per cent
in excess oT that, so.that the.Bitu'a
tion.is very encouraging tp tho
producers. . . Softwood ' quotations
show practically no change,' bat it
is, believed that recently -some of
the .sellers have been.' wilting to
allow .'slight price reductions on
orders for . immediate ,- shipment
All of them .are reported to v be
holding firmly to their lists when
it comes to orders-for later deliv--ery
in time -for spring needs, an,d
they are hoping to be able to, put
into effect advances that will! bring1
prices to a more reasonable level.
Bookings of the West poast
miUs made a large and rather un
expected gain during the jweekl
Production was about one per cent
above normal, against an average
for last year of about twenty per
cent above normal, and new busi
ness exceeded the cut by twenty
five per cent. Domestic cargo
business in creased nineteen mil
lion feet, and rail trade increased
fifteen million feet. "Southern pine
orders for the week averaged
higher than for any week sinee
October e-f last year. Iarge-mill
production has gained a little, but
the woods and road, conditions
that resulted from recent j heavy
rains have, imposed a heavy handi
cap on operations of thelsmaU;
non-reportlm? .mills. . Retail yards
in the .middle West are showing
more interest in both southern
pine and fir, though the bulk (ot
