No Serious Accumulation of
Unsold Softwoods; Fall
Prospects Good
In its weekly market review.
the American Lumberman, Chica
go, says::'-;: - !- ." t,r . .," - V;."
In the lumber industry there Is
being achieved a better balance of
supply and demand. For several
months, some of the larger groups
of softwood mills have been cur
tailing production, but unfavor
able weather in consuming territ
ory has resulted in sales falling
below expectation. ! Prises have
therefore been softening during
the last few weeks. Concessions,
however, have been made only In
cases where the lumber could be
shipped at once. - and have not
been extended to contracts for fu
ture delivery. Figures at which
lumber has sold have invplved a
loss to the mills, and a number of
southern pine manufacturers have
recently followed the example of
the western producers in tempor
arily shutting down their plants.
As softwood sales for the first
twenty-nine weeks of this year
have exceeded the cut by five per
cent, there is no serious accumn
latlon of unsold lumber at : the
mills.
Rather it is believed that If fall
demand Is as good as it Is expect
ed to be. supplies of well seasoned
stock may be short. In fact' the
recent curtaiment of production
Is making it difficult to find some
Items in various woods.
Lumbermen are generally : op
timistic as regards fall trade.
Good crops are being harvested
in the middle West and South and
also in the Far West, and country
and small town retail yards are
sending in an icreasing volume of
inquiry. Stocks of the retailers
a2 a rule are low. about two nun
dred yards in the Southwest re
porting to . the Federal Reserve
Bank that their June 1 stocks
were five and a half percent less
than on the same date last year
Some of the Northwest rail-
roads have already made extensive
preparations for handling large
crops. And the American Rail
way Association reports that 416,
197 more cars will be required in
the third quarter of this year than
were called for last year. So it
Is evident that the ' carriers have
exhausted the surplus of cars that
was created by the speeding up of
the friekh't movement: during the
last year or two, and will soon be
buying larger quantities ol car
material. I ' ' . .
The more Important groups of
hardwood consumers have not yet
begun to purchase their fall needs.
Flooring and millwork plants are
perhaps the best buyers at pres
ent. Following the furniture
shows, immediate results from
which were not encouraging.
there has been a pick-up-in furni
ture buying, and some of the fac
tories are beginning to take lum-
be.
Th automobile Industry is tak
Ing fair amounts," as new models
are being put on the market
Most recent buyers of hardwoods
have - sought ' bargains, ' but the
mills realize that available stocks
are small and will be needed .be
fore tbe end of the season, so they
are not going far in making con
cessions. -;0 ::,t y,'ii ;- :'

' A bridge for the use of highway
