IMPORTS OF LUMBER INTO -MEXICO LOWER LAST YE'AR. THAN PREVIO.US YEAR

The importation of lumber into Mexico for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1922, according to the official star tistics, was only 6O pet ce.nt of the total quantity imF ported during the previous year. One of fhe moit imr portant dealers ih Mexico City has made the statement that at present the sales of lumber do not ,exceed 50 per cent -of the average sales four months ago.

The only lumber used in quantities of comme,rcial importance in building,consists of floor and ceiling beams, usually measuring 3 inches by from lO to lZ inches, sash and door frames, and flooring. The use of flooring is limited also, as tile and cemen,t are highly favored foithis purpose, -'particularly in the hot c'oast regions. Very few shingles are used. The value of the impo,rtq of these materials 1n l92l were: Shingles, $85,618 (U. S. currency) ; doorsr-sash, and blinds, $121,059; trimmings, moldings, itc., W5,773; and sawed beams, 963.661. Wilh the exieption of sawed beams, all of these products bear a very high nate of duty, and folthis reason the domestic minuficturer supplies most of the local demand. However, Arnerican lumber is not uncommonly used by the sash and door factories, etc.

Native cedar is very rvidely nsed in cabinetwork in Mexico, but very little mahogany. Only a small amount of mahogany is produced at' p.resent, that exported from Tabasco and Campeche being cut in Guatemlla and brought down th,e rivers in transit to Mexico. An abundance-of mahogany still exists in southern Mexico, but until im. proved tran.sportation faicilities are afforded it will be unprofitable to cut it.

^A total o_f 4-95,4O1,000 feet of softwoods was imported in 1921, 141,673,@0 feet representing southern y,bll6w pine alone. While much of this lum,ber goes into'building material, the larger proportion is consumed by the -it ing companies, railroads, and petr,oleum compani,es. For eiample, one independent railway imported 3,25Q000 feet thr'ough the port of Guaymas in l92l for its own consumD- tion. This consisted principally of railway ties and bridge timber. Approximately 50,000,000 feet of lumber was iir" ported at San Rosalia, Sonora, in one year, destined for the various mining comipanies of that district.
