Lumber Stocks Ramain At Low Level

Lumber stocks at sawmills. and concentration yards totaled 3,386,845,000 board feet, as of August 31, 1945, an increase of 2.9 per cent from the position of these stocks at the end of July, the War Production Board reported today.

The slight increase is not indicative of an upswing in stocks, which remain at a low level, WPB said. It is purely seasonal and results from the established practice in some producing regions of holding dorvn shipments during the summer to take advantage of weather conditions favorable for air-drying.

r

The position of mill and concentration yard stocks, by regions, as of August 31, follow :

East : Northeastern-327,670,0A0 board feet ; Appalachian -179,494,00A board feet; North Central-SO,265,W board feet; South Central-70,035,000 board feet ; Lake States149,100,000 board feet; South-I,220,863,000 board feet. Total East-l ,997,427,W0 board feet.
