Defense Buying
Helped Industry
Proves Big Factor
In Lumber Market

December brought no marked
change IN the West Coast lumber
situation. according to a statement
issued Wednesday by the West
Coast Lumbermen assn.
The usual midWinter lull in the
industry's normal commercial trade
came on. but It was measurably
offset by the continued though de-
creasing volume Of national de-
Tense buying. Defense lumber re-
mains the major factor Of the
market but with steadily lessening
dominance as the oantonment con-
struction program swings toward
the finishing line. Shortage in in
tercoastal space is again a serious
problem for the industry With
active demand from the Atlantic
Coast for West Coast lumber, the
space shortage is accommodating
business which will probably flow
over into rail movement.
The weekly average of West
Coast lumber production in Deeem-
Der "a weeks was 1873 COS 900
board feet, or $40 per cent Of
present installed capacity. Orders
averaged 1S7,9l2,00O bf.; ship
ments, 14e.133, 900 Weekly aver
ages for November were: produce
