Probable Western Pine ConsumPtion For Second Quarter of 1947

Portland, Ore., XIarch 31-An analysis oi {rrst qtlarter 1917 manslacture of Idaho \\rhite Pine, Ponderosa Pine, Sugar l'ine ancl associated u'oocls and probable second quarter 1947 consumption u'as released toclay byJJ. Fullanav. Ir., Secretalr'-Nlanager, \\'esterrt I'irrc .\ssocia_..-_.:..,:--:r@ ficrn. 'fhe statemelrt in iull is as follon's:

"The optimistic estimate of \\restern Pine consumption for the first quarter of 7947, u'hich u'as made three ulonths ago, \\'as actually exceecled. and the shipments ol 7295 fiittlo,., feet cluring that period 'tlere about 32a/a greatet {har-, in the same 194(r cluarter ancl almost as high as the Seco.cl first cluarter ol 1914. The regional productiou of 1063 million feet cluring the hrst three tnor.rths of 1947 broke all previotts records for this quarter :'rncl exceecled the 1946 output by about 36/c.

"This excellent irrdustry perforn.rance is the result of several factors. Der.nancl is of course at peak levels' There has been relatively little labor difliculty. The n.ranporver situation has in-rproved. Also, over most of the region, rveatirer ccnditions have been unttsuallr' faloral;le ior this season o[ the -r'ear.

"Itegional stocks shou'ed about the normal seasonal recluction during the first quarter and on March 31st were 806 million feet, clorvn 232 mtllion from the first of the year. Stocks are no\Ilr l3/o gtealer than a Year ago but 50/o belou, the mill inventories at the ertd of the first quarter in 194O.

"Tl're continued upu'ard trend of prices and living costs creates uncertainties as to the labor and demand factors in the general business outlook. Hott'ever, based on all available informatiotr, it uo$' seems prollable that during ti.re seconrl quarter oi 1947, sl-ripntents (consrrmPtiolr) of lumber by the Western I'ine irrdustry l'il1 approximate 11100 milliorr fcet or about IZ/c rnore than that for the same 1946 c uarter."
