REVIEW OF THE
LUMBER TRADE
The Outlook Brightens After
Nearly Five Years Of
Downward Tendency
ACCORDING TO R. G. DUN
Shipments for the past Three
Months Exceed Output
and Stocks Decreased

The following interesting review of
the lumber industry of the Pacific
Northwest is from the current num-
ber of the Trade Review, published
by r. G. Dun & Co.:
Lumber and Shingles
For about five years the tendency
Of the lumber trade OF the North
west has been from bad to worse.
Several causes have contributed to
this condition. First, constant over
production, caused by capital, eager to
gain foothod in the trade, building
mills regardless of the market. Again,
the cost of logs has increased owing
to the denudation OF the banks OF the
natural logging streams, which rem
ders extensive railroad building neces-
sary. The Southern pine states. with
more favorable transportation facili-
ties, have also become vigorous com
petltOrS. The increased use OF cement
and steel construction has reduced
the consumption of structural timber.
But above all. there has been a cessa-
ton OF building operations and the
railroads have delayed replacing
equipment, both stationary and NOV
able, under the stress OF systematic
rate regulation.
The closing months of 1911 SEEM
ed to reach the climax of a hopeless
state OF affairs. The opening months
OF 1872 witnessed a reversal OF the
downward trend. Orders began TO
flow in from the railroads, and cargo
trade increased steadily. Shipments
for the last three months are report
Cd 10 be in excess of the output. and
stocks show a corresponding reduC
ton. 1t is argued that the enforced
contraction of consumption. which
da}es from the panic OF 1907. has
created a condition which will COM
pei very much increased demand
for several years.
Prices are responding and reports
from all Genters show increases rang
ing from $1.U0 10 $500 per thousand.
according to grades and desree OF
preparation. Millmen throughout the
Northwest are looking forward TO d
period in which the demand will out
run production and prices will rise
TO point which will leave a prof.
table margin between loggers charges
and the price which the consumer will
pay for the finished products

LONDON IS INTERESTED
IN VISIT TO WASHINGTON

London. Jan. 24-The news that the
Duke Of Connaught, who Is now paying
an unofficial visit to New York. had
changed his mind and has decided to
call on President Taft at Washington
was received at the foreign office and in
diplomatic circles with evident satisfac-
tIon
While IL Is impossible tonight TO OBJ
tain a confirmation of the report that
the foreign office had sent an explicit re-
quest 10 the duke TO make such a call,
II Is believed in well-informed quarters
that the visit TO Washington was decided
upon after contrary arrangements had
been made. in order to avoid what other
wise might develop into an exceedingly
unpleasant cause OF friction.
The fact that Ambassador Jsmes Bryce
arranged the Washington visit at the last
minute Is regarded as significant, and
lends color to the report that the dukes
sudden decision to call on the President
was, in fact. due to direct instructions
from Downing street.
The morning papers have column after
column describing the reception to the
Duke OF Connaught and party In New
York. a large part of the space being de-
voted to extracts from newspapers show
ing how the Americans bow down to
royalty. The accounts agree that some
body blundered" regarding the reception.
They deprecate the undemocratic attempt
at secrecy and the apparent effort to
make private social capital out OF what
should have been an important interna-
ticnal event.
The Washington herald., 1912-01-24
PLANS FOR RECEPTION
OF DUKE HERE TOMORROW

The Duke OF Connaught viii arrive In
Washington tomorrow afternoon. He
will go direct from Union Station to the
British Embassy, where he will be the
guest Of the Right Hon. James Bryce

corted by several troops Of cavalry from
the British Embassy to the White House,
where. at o'clock, the duke will be pre-
sented TO President Taft by the British
Ambassador.
II has not yet been decided whether
Mrs. Taft and the members Of the Cab
met and their wives will be present
After the reception at the White House,
the duke win return to the British EN-
oassy, escorted by the cavalry detach-
ments. He VIII be the guest Of honor at
a dinner tomorrow night given by the
British Ambassador. and will leave on
the midnight train for New York.
These are the main features Of the pro-
gramme arranged by officials of the
White House and State Department for
the dukes visit to Washington. II is un-
derstood that the duke desires as little
pomp and ceremony as possible. and the
officers OF the state Department who are
in charge OF the details Of the programme
Will bear this fact in mind
The question came up yesterday at the
Cabinet meeting and was discussed for
a few minutes. Secretary of State Knox
was requested by the President TO ar
range the details.
