If there be slump in the price for yellow
pine during the coming winter the manu-
facturer can place the blame no one but
himself This is a conclusion reached by all
trade papers after n careful Investigation OF
conditions prevailing at manufacturing points
as compared with the demand, present ana
prospective. These conditions are reviewed
by the Lumber Trade Journal published at
New Orleans. in late issue. Its conclusions
are embodied in the following excerpt from
an editorial comment, and those farnll al
with conditions will have no hesitancy in
indorsing it as correct summary of the
situation: THE general shortage in lumber
when compared with the requirements of the
country are now well understood. The white
pine situation is strongly pronounced in this
particular. The current and prospective de-
mand are both beyond recent precedent, while
the output is little larger than usual ana
stocks are many millions short OF the usual
supply at this time of the year. similar
situation. Is apparent in hemlock, In South
ern woods, cypress is being sold up to the
full capacity of production, while the output,
owing to the peculiar conditions which sur
round that branch of the business. can not b.
increased. The minor woods which go INTO
general trade. such as poplar and the hard
woods, are in similar condition, Thus the
yellow Pine trade has an open field before II.
gaps. in addition to the larger demand for u
from its own field. The course which would
seem tho wisest of the part of any manu-
facturer would be not to crowd sales but to
conserve stocks as far as possible beyond
taking care of current demand mt present
quotations. Yellow pine lumber is now worth
all and moro than is being asked for 1t. and
the man who sells 1t for less or contracts to
deliver 1t too far ahead, is simply working
against his own interest.
