Housing Stcrrts Look Dismql

Although housing starts nationally rvere off only three percent in July, the latest figures available, it represents the lowest level for housing since January. July's 1,459,000 private housing starts calculated on the seasonally adjusted annual rate is seven percent below June and three percent under July a year ago.

The major factor in the national decline in starts is due to a badly sagging Western market.

Western non-farm starts are off one-third from last year, according to Charles E. Young of the Western Wood Products Association. The trouble in California is due mostly to the oversupply of residential units, mainly in multi-family units.

The soft market locally has caused many Western lumbermen to shift their marketing efforts to the South and North Central regions where July starts were up respectively sixteen and twentyone percent above last July.

Despite the current Western sag in this important lumber market, Dr. Young sees recent indicators as pointing to an increase in starts during the balance of the year.
