How Lumber Looks

(Continued from Page 1)

73,349,M0 feet, compared with 104,019,000 on July 31 last year. Redwood stocks on hand July 31 were 367,267,000 feet, compared to 351.860.000 feet on the same 1955 date. Production and shioments are above, but orders are below, the 1955 figures for the year-to-date.

Southern Pine Association reported for 97 mills in the week ended September 1: production, 19,947,000 feet; shipments, 19,939,000 feet; orders, 21,624,000 feet (8.41/o above production). P roduction was 3.71%, shipments 3.67% and orders 12.43% above the 3-year average.

Tlre fu-inch sheathing plywood accounted tor 43/o of the industry's production of 101,230,000 feet reported by the Douglas Fir Plywood Association in the week ended September 1; orders were 98,464,0m feet in the week and unfilled orders were 291,474,000 feet. All were slightly below the previous week and unfilled orders were 297,474,A00 feet. All were slightly below the previous week but above the like 1955 week. For the year-to-date, orders were 1.2/o below 1955 but production was 6.0/o above. There were signs this month that curtailments in the fir plywood industry were bringing supply and demand closer to balance. Production was cut nearly 75/o ftotrn nornral industry capacity and orders were within 2.6/o of output. Mill men say that more plywood is going into housing and this offsets the decline in housing starts; any real trouble, they claim, is a 6/o increase in fir plywood production so far this year.

In the general lumber market, not all plywood and lumber prices were as weak as the bread-and-butter items. "Higher-class home building using kiln-dried lumber continues at a good pace," said an Oregon lumberman; "it's in the medium-priced homes that the slowdown in construction has taken place."

Anaheim, Calif., building permits in the first three months of 1956 totaled $11,771,M. March rang up $4,153,750 f.or 298 permits, of rvhich 228 were residential.
