COASJ BUILDING HELPS LOCAL MARKETS
. Healthy conation of the building trades in the north
west at present lias a ureal bearing on the condition of
the lumber market in Oregon. At tlio present time it
is conservatively estimated that the cities of Seattle,
lortland and Taeoma alone are using daily 3,000,000
feet of lumber, and permits indicate that the fall months
will see no slackening in the present basiB of local con
struction programs.
.California is today the poorest market that the mills
of the Northwest have. Some sections have reported a
slight increase in inquiry for cargo, shipments, but no
strengthening in price whatever. The rail trade with
California is if anything slower than it has been and
prices, are correspondingly weak.
The California buyers have had the market in their
control for so long that it is not to be wondered at that
they continue to hold off buying, even though the market
is Fhowing signs of having reached bottom in other
markets. The nitualion is rapidly reaching the point
where California business is the least attractive to the
mills of any, and should it keep on its present trend they
will have to fall in line.
The demand from the.. Middle West is holding up in
very fine shape. During- the past week there has been
a tendency to place orders for rush shipment, some few
evidently feeling that there was a possibility that the
Hh of July curtailment would either make it difficult to
get stock when they wanted it or cause a strengthening in
prices. The result of this has been that in many cases
mills have been able to secure advances over what is
considered to be the market. Stocks of retail yard items
at the mills are down to the point where there is quite
likely to be a shortage, especially on uppers, before the
middle of July.
With the demand holding up and the supply, which
has at no time been greatly n excess, being materially
reduced, the outlook for an increase in prices on stock
for shipment to the Middle, West is better than it has
been for some time. : !.
, No new car material orders of any consequence have
come to the coast during the past two weeks. However,
prices have held firm, clue to the fact that many of the
difficult items that were put in the hands of the distribu
tors the early part of the month are yet to be placed and
the need of prompt shipment has also necessitated the
replacing of considerable business.
ANOTHER MARKET AID '
Early this year, and during the period of the past six
months or more, a number of Southern Pine mills cut
out and left the Held. The question arises as to why the
elimination of so much production has not affected the
market. But this fact must be remembered, that ordin
arily it takes some 90 days after closing operations be
fore their slocks are finally cleaned out. That 90 day
period in the case of most of these mills has just about
arrived. Isn't it natural to suppose that with the large
volume of lumber thus eliminated from the available
supply, the effe'et on the market is bound to be felt
very soon?
It may be of interest to note the prediction of S. W.
Straus, regarded as one of the highest building author
ities in the country who stated at the recent convention
of the National Association of Heal Estate Boards that
the record of $5,750,000,000 of new building set in 1924
would be surpassed (hiring the present year by a quarter
of a billion dollars increased construction.
