NEW MOVE NEEDED
IN LUMBER TRADE
Dealers Must Carry Larger
Stocks to Fill Orders Faster,
Manufactures Asserts.
BY j. c. ROYLE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July IA. - Economic
conditions in the lumber business
have changed. Unless manufacturers
realize that they must carry larger
stocks and smaller order files and sell
large proportion of orders in mixed
cars, the situation is going to become
improbable for the lumber industry.
That is the way Charles S. Keith
of Kansas City, one of the prominent
lumber men of the West and South,
analyzed conditions today. THE pol
Icy every manufacturer should fol-
low" he said, lis to keep we'll round
ed, full assortments of stocks, accu'
mulating and increasing his stocks
from January ! to May ! and be in
a position to give prompt service.
Shipments More Rapid.
He pointed out that efficiency in
transportation since 1922 had so
speeded up shipments that whereas
II formerly took an average OF 90
days TO move a car Of lumber from
point of origin TO destination, it now
takes only 10 days.
Every one admits that volume OF
business has been good he stated,
but says business lacks the snap that
is necessary for stabilized or advanc-
ing markets. In 1928 distributors had
to anticipate their requirements four
to six months in order to be assured
of stocks when demand developed.
Now it is reported distributors in the
Middle West are only anticipating re
quirements from Is to q days. II
naturally follows that buying demand
on manufacturers will only develop
two to three weeks in advance OF
actual consumption of material.
New Methods Necessary.
The manufacturer must get himself
into a frame of mind so that during
the seasonal period, when production
exceeds consumption, he will stock his
excess production with a view to NOV
ing it later The relationship of sup
ply and demand is not the relationship
between production and sales, but that
between stocks and orders. From 1918
TO 1928 this relationship averaged 1000
feet of stock TO 1000 feet of orders.
The latest figures show this relation:
ship at present to be 1850 feet OF
stock to 900 feet of orders.

BALTIMORE, July 14.-An inJunc-
ton to prevent the building of the
proposed $50, 600, 900 Conowingo dam
and electric project more than 100
feet above sea level was asked in
suit filed in Federal Court yesterday.
The Pennsylvania Water and Power
Co., which filed the petition, asks 1t
be adjudged an unlawful invasion
of it's rights. The company owns
dam, several islands and much shore
property near McCall's Ferry, Ian
caster County, the petition says.
The litigation is expected to tie up
the project for the present. The Penn
sylvania company is controlled by the
Alfred interests, which also control
the Consolidated Gas and Electric Co.
of Baltimore The McCall's Ferry dam
supplies the Consolidated here with
part of it's power.
The Conowingo project is controlled
by Philadelphia interests, and the
power generated there would go to
Philadelphia, and it is said will be
used to electrify the Pennsylvania
Railroad lines between Washington
