How Lumber Looks

It's a short story. Lumber looks just like it did two weeks ago, with one or two small exceptions. No' 2 flooring, which has lagged all summer, went up a lot in California. Since it had been selling fot less than the strips from which it is made, the rise was expected, and this item simply went up to about the level of the rest of the market.

Building permits lor Los Angeles for the first three weeks of the month were slightly above those for the same period of the ptrevious month, and shipments into

In the national lumber situation, things are strong. Very strong. The Labor Day shutdown for the entire United States will cut a considerable figure, as the shutdown this year will be greater than usual at most mills.
