Ceiling Prices

, (Continued from Page 4)

The GCPR froze individual sellers' prices for treated products at the liighest levels they obtained from December 19, 1950, to January 25, 1951. Ceiling prices for the untreated lumber similarly were established under GCPR. Thus treaters were able under GCPR to obtain their customary return for treating.

The ceilings spelled out in CPR 128, issued March 13, 1952, were approximate averages of GCPR prices. I{owever, certain lumber items which are normally treated before use were raised above the GCPR average. Hence, treaters whose suppliers' ceilings under GCPR were below average have experienced a squeeze when obliged to pay CPR 128 ceilings for tl-reir rarv materials.

The new supplementary regulation provides relief in such instances and restores with certain limitations normal pricing practices.

It provides that treaters establish new ceilings by adjusting their GCPR ceilings, plus or minus, to reflect difierences in the cost to them of untreated lumber under CPR 128. They do this by applying to their GCPR ceilings the differences between their current purchase costs which may not exceed spelled out ceilings under CPR 128 and the highest prices at which they contracted to purchase the untreated items during the period January 25 to February 24,1951.

This provision is substantially the same as that used by treaters in rletermining their ceilings on products covered by CPR 126 (C.eiling Prices for Pacific Northwest Douglas Fir and Ponclerosa Pine Poles and Piling).

Since the supplementary regulation will result in both upward and dovrnward adjustments of ceilings, it is not expected appreciably to affect the level of prices for preservatively treated fir and hemlock lumber.

Adjustments to reflect the increased weight of treated lumber are set forth in the new supplementary regulation to be applied to ihe established weights prescribed in CPR 128. llstablished rveights are used in computing delivery charges when sales are on a delivered basis.
