Western Pine Shipments Expected to Toper OiJ; Third Gluorter RecordsSet

Portland.-The following report for the third quarter, 1955, production and shipments of Western Pine region lumber products and estimate of probable fourth quarter, 1955, shipments was released by W. E. Griffee, assistant secretary-manager of the Western Pine Association. The report covered Idaho White Pine, Ponderosa Pine and Sugar Pine-which constitute about 60/o of the region's production-and the associated woods.

"During the third quarter of this year the Western Pine industry set new records for both production and shipments just as it did during the first two quarters of the year. Production of. 2619 million feet was I3.5% above the 1954 volume, partly because strikes last year shut down mills which could have cut an additional 200 million feet. Some production was lost this year when several mills shut down so the crews could fight forest fires," the statement said.

Shipments of 2484 million were 8.7/o ahead of last year and 135 million feet above the third quarter of 1950, the industry's previous record quarter. Stocks of. about 1725 million feet' at the end of the quarter are almost exactly the same size as stocks held by the mills a year ago. Their volume is conservative.

Although the government has tightened requirements on FHA insured loans, the effects have not yet shown up in housing starts. The 123,000 new non-farm housing units started in August were 7/o above the high level of August
