National Survey of Lumber Supply and Demand

The Department of Commerce has received a report from the Special Lumber Survey Committee on Lumber Consumption, Lumber Stocks and on anticipated Consumption during the third quarter of 1936. This is the 21st quarterly report of the Committee.

The Committee finds that national lumber stocks on July l, 1936, of approximately 7 billion feet were one per cent in excess of stocks on April l, 1936, and 3.2 per cent below stocks on January 1. The gain in lumber consumption in the second quarter was slightly above the usual seasonal increase. The third quarter will probably hold to the same level.

The present volume of stocks is itself not excessive. The danger is rather in the continuing though moderate current excess of production over sales in important species. The outlook is favorable for an increasing lumber demand. The Committee, however, finds no present indication of a "boom" either in building or industrial uses.

Improvement of product in manufacture, seasoning, grading and grade-marking; fireproofing and other research; small house design and prefabrication are enumerated by the Committee as current steps which should be encouraged, to improve the competitive position of lumber and timber products. It again points out that opportunity to regain most important foreign markets depends upon elimination of discriminatory foreign tariffs and believes that greater attention to foreign trade agreements on the part of lumbermen generally will further their interests.

The Lumber Survey Committee appointed on July 9, 1931, consists of Thomas S. Holden, vice president, F. W. Dodge Corporation, New York; M. W. Stark, economist, Columbus, Ohio; Calvin Fentress, chairman of the board, Baker, Fentress & Company, Chicago, Illinois; Phillips A.

Hayward, chief, Forest Products Division, Department of Commerce; and Wilson Compton, secretary and manager, National Lumber Manufacturers Association.
