Production Stays at High Level

While telegraphic reports to the National Lumber Manufacturers' Association from eight of its regional softwood associations for the week ending October 28, indicate that the lumber industry is holding up well, they also show grea.t divergencies of conditions in different sections. On the whole. production contintries at virtually peak capacity and, while much greater than shipments and orders, the last named factors are no longer declining relatively to the first.

It is true that the reports show an absolute reduction of about 14,000.000 feet in production, of 15,000,000 feet in shipments and 6,000,000 in orders from the preceding week, but the number of reporting mills fell last week to 394 from 43.1-the high number of the year-reported the week before. Lumber production is holding up,well above the average of recent years, and shipments and orders show a proportionate increase. In Southern Pine territory the worst of the car shortage difficulty seems to be over. Shipments are getting larger. On the other hand the' California, Oregon and lVashington mills seem .now to be in the worst transportation pinch they have had for a long time. Shipments in that region are falling off .despite increased production, and some mills actually report that cars delivered to them are only ten per ,centr of their requirements. In the middle northern regions-in the white pine and hemlock territory-the statistics indicate easy transportation conditions, as shipments are 50 per cent over production.

Stated relatively, shipments and orders for the eight associations were each 75 per cent of production for the past week. Of the 394 mills reporting, 363 belong to the five associations that have a normal production figure for the week, which is235,956,767 feet. Actual production for them was 98 per cent, shipments 72 per cent and orders 73 per cent of this figure.
