ARE PRICES OF BUILDING MATERIAL GOING
HIGHER?

We often asked this question by
people who contemplate building. This
is a question viii CHI
defini tely, yes, no, and still be pos
Tive of being correct.
Prices of building ma terials, like
other commod les, are governed by supply
and demand. While Wisconsin used to be a
large lumber producing state,
dependent the West\ Coast states and
tina Southern states for the major part of
lumber needs.
AS we are able to determine,
through personal interview, correspon-
dence, and trade journals, the condi ions
in the South and the West Coast are
not promi sing for lower prices in lumber,
most mills Of large capacity are be-
hind shipments from two months to
ten months, and refusing to accept
orders at any price. This shows that the
demand for lumber is in excess Of the
normal supply; and it IS IN many in
stances necessary to ship green lumber
direct from the saw
Indi cation are, as we see them
that the prices Of building ma terials may
under ordinary condi tions they cannot go
materially lower for a period Of from ten
to eighteen months, as it will take thi S
amount Of time to accumulate normal sup
plies under the most favorable condi-
tions.
