Total retail lumber stocks on June 30 were 4,750,@Q0@ board feet, estimated the National Retail Lumber Dealers Assn*|.Z/o below this May 31 and. 5.4/o below June 30 last year. The Pacific region irrdicated a 3.8/o decrease in yard inventories fno'm May but a 3.1/o increase over the same period last year; the Mountain region s,lrowed a 0.5/o increase over May but a 3.9/o d,ecrease from June 30, 1957. Total rrctail ltrrmber sales, based on board-foot volume of reportirrg yards, during June were 2.3/o above May but 2.5/o below tlre previous June. The Pacific region indicated a 4.4/o drop in sales from this May but a 3.1/o increase over June 1957; the Mountain region indicated an 8.1/o sales increase over May and a 10.8/o hike over the prior June.

Crow's Lum'ber Price Index of August 7 reflected the sharp rise in the lumber market over the past two weeks, the first improvement over year-ago levels since September 1956, Crow's said. All segments of the Index lose-gre€n and kiln-dried Douglas fir, and Western Pine region lumber. Stro,ng demand and limited supply of studs, dirnension and boards of all species accounted for the climrb. Both fir and hemlock for water shipmen.t advanced. and orders w€r€ not easy to place for prompt shipment. Ponderosa pine showed more firnrness in No. 3 common 12" boards, while s,ome areas reported strong demand,for No. 4 common 8 and 12,, boards.
