SHINGLES GO UP.
High Prices Anticipated BY Washing
ton Lurnbernnen,


Olympia, Wash, Feb. Washing
ton lumber dealers are anticipating a
sharp Increase in the price Of shingles
withia the next couple of weeks or be-
fore the spring building rush begins.
This assumption is based upon the fact
that the eastern trade is preparing for
heavy consumption Of Washington
shingles and there are probably not
over 500 carloads in transit; where 1t
this time wear %go there we're at least
l5tG carloads Of shingles on the waFt to
eastern markets,
The recent cold snap which prevailed
ON the sound retarded lhe output from
the shingle mills, making the operation
of the mills SO slow and Improbable
that many Of them closed down entire
ly Tor from q Few days 10 weeks
time
1t is estimated that every week Puget
sound shingle mills remain shut down
the result is falling off of fully 100
ears of the states output of shingles.
The price list Cor Washington shingles
is from 35 to 40 per cent under the rate
that dealers attempted to enforce at a
shluglelnen's convention a year ago
aud market conditions have improved
materially the past few months.
