PRESENT LUMBER DEMAND
BEST SINCE WAR, IS VIEW
OF COAST TRADE EXPERT
A close analysis of the lumber market now shows that
:l is in a very healthy condition.
It might be said of (he present demand that it is the
most consistent that the mills have experienced at any
time since the war. It is true that prices have been
much higher and the opportunity to make money much
greater at several periods, but these have been based on
an abnormally heavy consumption from some one field.

ioday California Is the poorest
market the northwest mills huve
and the Los Angeles district thut
knew no saturation point is not
paying the manufacturers euough
f ir their lumber to give them back
the cost of manufacture
However, about the time the Cali
fornia market started to weaken,
the Japanese earthquake oecjrrod
and another even more beetle spurt
brought the price of lumber up sud
denly to un unreasonable basis,
where It collapsed and left scars on
the pcoketbooka of those ho ro
fused to believe that there would
be an end to It.
At the present we have an en
tirely different situation. No one
consuming field Is buying l.i more
than a seasonal volume. In fact,
some are even below, but the- are
all In the market.
The demand Is in excess of pro
duction in spite of the fuct that the
m:ils are turning out more lumber
every day than they have ut any
time sldce in Augun 1923, when
they were burled with Japanese or
ders.
More mills are running extra
shifts now than, there were then. It
Is not possible for the cut to be
stepped up much. .On the other
hand, new business Is gradually com
ing in an lncreaslsg footage.
Figuratively speaking, the lumber
men of Oregon and Washington have
not gjt their egga all in one basket
no- as they have had during mwt
cf the piosperous times since the
war days. The slowing down of a
single trade factor would ttavo no
appreciable effect on the present
ma:kct and this gives the outlo.-k
stability.
iPrt.-e Imreases have become gen

few items of uppers, bare strength

retail yards aie too low to permit
much delay In getting material on
the road once It Is ordered and for
that reason the advances have met
with but little reiistance.
During the past ten days there
has been a tendency on the part of
some buyers to pay premiums on
mixed cars which they were In Imme
diate need of and with mill atockB
extremely low and broken, these
special sales are establishing higher
levels for regular business.
The probability of sorlous cur
tailment on account of the log sup
ply Is now past, us the. camps are
getting under war again. Timber
fires the early part of this month
kept many camps closed and forced
mills on Puget sound to saw up a
lower grade of logs thsn they want
ed, but the recent rains have elim
inated any serious fire hazard for
the balance of this year and the log
supply should be ample to meet all
needs. C. C. Crow iu the Oregonlan.
