DFTRIBUTION OF REDWOOD SHIPMENTS-FIRST HAIF OF 1960

This report shows the distribution of redwood shipments to each state and to various regions for the first half of 1960, compared with the first half of 1958 and 1959 as reported by the mills which have reported regularly for the Monthly Mill Report.

Table No. 1 shows the distribution to the regions used for the Monthly MiU Report. For 1960, two sets of figures are shown, one taken from the Monthly Mill Report and the other from the Distribution by States report. As has always been the case, there are differences in the two sets of figures but these are not great enough to have statistical significance. Total shipments during the first half of 1960 were 14.7/6 above the 1958 flgure and 6.97o below shipments during the flrst half of 1959.

In shipments made to 37 states east of the Rocky Mountains, the District of Columbia and Canada, there was a 1960 decrease ot 4.9/o from 1959, but a 1960 increase ot 17.6% over 1958. Fourteen states in the region showed increases over 1959, with Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan (in that order) having the larg'est volume gains. In total flgures, the Ieaders were lllinois, Texas, Ohio, and Minnesota.

Texas, losing its top position, took the greatest drop from 1959over 3Vz million feet. Ohio, New York, and Iowa also had large decreases. Losses in these four states exceeded the total net loss for the entire region.

1960 volume gains over 1959 were shown in the Lake States and South Atlantic and over 1958 in all regions except Lower Mississippi.

Though there were no reported shipments to Alaska, Hawaii's 412 rnillion was exceeded by only 11 states.
