NOTE IMPROVEMENTS
IN LUMBER TRADE
OPERATING-SHI
EXCEED CUT.

The lumber business is looking up
in the district in this state west of
the mountains. The situation, insofar
as the mills are concerned, is better
bermen are becoming optimistic.
Some of them feel that the industry
may yet reach normal.
These and other important facts
are contained in statistical report
read at Everett the other day at the
last meeting of the Washington
branch of the West Coast Lumber
Manufacturers association by Secre-
tary Thorpe Babcock. The report
was read before one of the best at
tended meetings in the history of the
organization, scores of prominent
lumbermen from all parts of the state
being present.
Discuss Advertising Plan.
At this meeting plans to find new
markets, new methods of advertising
fir and cedar products and of improv-
ing the quality of lumber and shingles
were discussed.
The secretary's report, giving sta
tistics Of the lumber industry for the
year, was tinged with optimism and
brought to the attention of the lum-
bermen, figures showing that a great
er number of mills are operating in
Washington at this time than we're
running a year ago, that the produc-
ton is greater and that the market,
while by no means strong, has re-
NAMED steady and shows signs of
improving.
90 Per Cent of Mills at Work.
The report indicates, for one thing.
that about 81 per cent of the capacity
of 40 mills west of the mountains
that have reported to the secretary
is being operated. Several months
ago, when the lumber industry was
almost at standstill, compared to
normal times, the percentage in ca
pacity operation went down as low as
40 per cent. Hence there is a very
decided improvement, for when the
mills are running capacity there is
business demanding it.
Another evidence of better times is
seen by lumbermen in the fact that
the summary of the June cut and
shipments shows that out of 1O7 mills
reporting the shipments exceeded the
cut by 2,S76,756 feet.
AS to the volume of business, 22
mills in Washington on the west side
report trade to be normal, above
normal and 43 below normal. Thir-
ty-two made no report. Thirty-six
mills report stocks normal, IL above
normal and q below normal. Thirty
five did not report
A third indication of improvement,
according to the report. is found in
the fact that majority of mills are
short on flooring and other finished
products. This means a stiffening of
the market price.
