WEEKLY LUMBER
MARKET REPORT
(Ameriean Lumberman)

(American Lumberman)
The year opens with a feeling of
optimism in all branches of the lum-
Der trade. Tho Immediately after
Christmas the volume of inquiries be-
gan to increase and today is heavy,
purchasing at present is on a very
slight basis. These inquiries are not
expected to result in immediate
placement Of orders, as they arise
from inventory taking by retail lum-
bermen who, by means of these in
quiries, are seeking to determine what
they will have to pay for stocks to
fill up items and grades that have
been allowed to decrease TO a dan
|gerous level.
One reason for optimism on the
part of the lumber trade is the fact
that wholesale lumber prices have
been so geenrally Debated; and this
action has been very largely followed
by retailers. In this connection the
general public is not aware of the
significance or the real size of re-
duction of SO per cent in the selling
price of lumber. Actually such de-
crease puts lumber back at the price
which prevailed before the sensation
al advance. For example, assuming
that before the sensational advance q
certain grade of lumber sold for SAC
thousand feet and that during the
rapid advance in the market the pries
Of this grade increased so per cent ol
$50, making the selling price $50
wholesale. A reduction of 33 pei
cent is equal to $40, making the sell
ing price the same as before the In
crease
