| N a -- Lissa: rl rr rr re N ULL dd dt Lumber Reserve Is Ample For Demand American Lumberman Reviews Situ- ation and Its Effect on Building Situation In regard to the lumber market the American Lumberman of Chicago says: "Lumber manufacturers in all parts of the country have on hand ample reserve supplies of lumber to meet any immediate demand no matter how rapidly the housing siuation may develop. Manufacturers as a whole have apparently adopted the policy of producing and putting in pile a normal supply of lumber and when this normal level is reached production will be curtailed to pre- vent undueaccumulation. For example, a number of telegrams received by the American Lumberman indicate that hardwood manufacturers, on the whole, intend to continue pro- duction until normal stocks are on hand and thereafter will materially curtail production. In fact a number of manufacturers at this time are curtailing * production somewhat. so that they may continue to offer em- ployment to their men and at the same time accumulate sticks slowly. Hardwood stocks, on the whole, have not as yet reached the normal level. Out of a list of eighteen representa- tive companies in the south and east only five reported normal or above normal stocks. Demand Light "The demand for southern pine, Douglas fir, North Carolina pine, hemlock and other ordinary con- struction wood continues to be light. Shipments are not heavy because of lack of orders, and also because in some sections the car shortage con- tinues to be so severe that shipments cannot be made. The speciality woods, such as cypress, are meeting with a very keen demand and prices have a rising tendency. "Plans under discussion in many of the larger cities for stimulating building and encouraging more gen- eral home owning are approaching consummation, and the increasing in- * dications that the money market is easing up and bankers will look with LLL LLL TALL LLL LL LALA LL LL LA ILA LALLA LA LL AA SA FAA LA A SA LA SAAT AAA AAA more favor on building loans give promise of an early resumption of building on a more extended scale that will go far toward relieving the universal housing shortage."
