I. SOURCES AND CHARACTER OF LUMBER PRICES.
^ • '5?-otations from the Trade

Quotations for many kinds of lumber are carried in the trade
papers; but-:.there is grave doubt as to the reliability of most of
the-se figures,

t

An exhaustive study of lumber prices both in central markets
and at mills over a period cf years ending in 1910 was made a few ..
y.ears ago for the Bureau of Corporations by Messrs. David L. Wing
and John M. Gries, After these men had obtained a large collec-
tion of prices from the books of saw mills and dealers, they com-
pared their figures with the market quotations given in the trade
papers. One of these papers, the COMMERCIAL BULLETIN of Boston,
they found making reports that agreed closely with their own re-
sults. All the other trade papers were unreliable in varying de-
grees.

Accordingly, in tilie following bulletin no quotations from the
trade papers are given excepting the somewhat limited range of
fig-ores for New England lumber carried by the above-named Boston
Jour?ial ,

2 1 Quotations from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Federal Trade

Ccinr.ission

At our request, the Federal Trade Commission got one of their
agents to collect a few quotations for the Price Section. We have
also obtained two series from the Eureau of Labor Statistics; but
for the reasons given above we have not used the quotations they
accept from ..the New York LUMBER TRADE JOURNAL,

3, The Forest Service Prices.

Most of the material here presented comes from the Forest Ser-
vice. Since the second quarter of 1913 this bureau has been obtain-
ing reports of "average prices f ,o,b. ndll" on a great variejrja of
lumber from mills scattered over the important producing sections.
The averages are given as covering the threeMsonilis preceding the
date of each report, When substantially all the reports are in, the
Forest Service compiles a separate mimeographed bulletin for each
important type of lumber in each large producing area. In these
bxilletins each mill is represented by a number, so that the reports
from a given enterprise can be fcrllcwred .For example , there is a
''Yellow Bir.e'1 bulletin, issued July 23, i915, covering the states .•
of Louisiana, Mississippi, Texas, Alabama, and Arkansas, carrying
reports from 36 mills, and shewing average prices during April,
May. and June 4f 14 different grades of yellow pine, classified as

flooring, finish, dimension stuff, timbers, coranon boards, car
siding, car lining, lath, and mill run.

The Forest Service has furnished the Price Section with copies
of all these bulletins. >>!e have re -arranged the data to show prices
for aach grade of each kind of lumber at each mill in successive
quarters. From the data thus arranged we have selected those series
of prices which are most nearly complete for t>resentation in this
bulletin.

Cefctain peculiarities of the data should be noted, (1) There
is a considerable range in most cases between the prices reported
by different mills even in ths same state. The following is a
typical example. In the above mentioned yellow pine bulletin, for
the second quarter of 1915, the price of Flooring, No. 2, D. and M,
1" x 4" in Texas is reported by two mills at $8.00 per M feet; by
one mill at $8.25; by three mills at $8.50; by one mill at $S.O<JJ
and by one mill at $10.00 (2) In few erases does the same mill pre-
sent an uribroken record of prices for every quarter from 1S13 to date.
Average prices from the mills that do report on each date would be
misleading, because the dropping out of a high-priced mill would fre-
quently lower the average materially in a time when the remaining
mills show no change in prices, or the dropping out of a low-priced

mill would raise the average. It seems better to choose, quotations
from the one or two mills that report most regularly, and in case of

breaks to supply a figure from some other mill, subtracting or adding
the differential shown by prices in the preceding or following quarter
— unless, as often happens, there was no difference in prices.
In other cases a mill which reported regularly in the earlier part of
the period stops reporting altogether, or reports seldom, while another
mill begins to report regularly. Then the two series of reports are
spliced together with a differential or not, according as the prices
reported in the overlapping reports agreed or differed. In a few
cases a quotation is supplied by interpolating a price midway between
the price reported by the mill in question in the preceding and in the
following quarter. In all these cases specific explanations are made
in foot-notes.

It is not contended that these Forest Service quotations are satis-
factory in every respect. But their very irregularities probably reir. .
fleet actual trade conditions. If prices in the central markets are r
substantially the same on a given grade of lumber, fron. whatever source
it comes, the f.o.b. mill prices must vary with cost of shipping fron.
each mill to that market. The irregularity of reports, again, arises in
part from the cutting-off of timber from the region supplying a given
mill. While central market f.eports are better tha theEe f.o.b. mill
prices for certain purposes, tna latter have their own special signifir
ance . The precise methods of splicing series together and of supplying
missing data from other mills, and of interpolating are matters of judg-
ment and therefore cpen to question: but it is not probable that tr.e ,•'.
differance between the figures arrived at by any two who edited the

(W. I.E. -359 -3)

Forest Service reports for publication .voulci affect the general results
appreciably. With all these shortcoming in mind, it still remains true
that nowhere else can we find so large a body cf authentic lumber
quotations running back to pre-war days as in the Forest Service rec.ords,

FACTORS AFFEQTING TH5 FLUCTUATIONS OF LUMBER PRICES. (1)

by

Homer Hoyt
Bureau of Research, War Trade Board.

1. The laajor Swings of Lumber Price s,16 73- 1918:

The period from 1873 to 1898 was characterized by relatively low
lumber prices. The successive opening of new virgin forests prevent-
ed the rise in price which the rapid cutting of our timber would
otherwise have occasioned. When the White Pine of the Lake States
began to show signs of exhaustion, Southern Yellow Pine was ushered
in as a general construction wood, and when the flood of Southern Yel-
low Pine reached its erect, the stands of Douglas Fir from the Pacific
Coast tapped to supplant Yellow Pine in the markets of the West.

Between 1890 and 1907 lumber prices increased 94 percent while
general prices advanced only 14.6 percent (2). Host of this increase
took place between 1898 and 1907. Probably the chief reason for this
rapid gain was the increasing distance between the timber stands and
the large centers of population, thereby greatly increasing freight
charges. Southern Yellow Pine is farther from the largo cities and
the centers of building activity than tho White Pine of Michigan, and
the Douglas Fir of the Pacific Coast must bear even a greater trans-
portation charge than Southern Yellow Pine. Increased labor cost,

(1) The factors affecting lumber prices are very complex because

of the number of species and grades of lumber, the great number of mills,
and the wide territorial distribution of the lumber industry. The author
does not pretend that this hastily written survey is an adequate or final
summary of the situation. The conclusions in regard to the histories
of particular species of lumber are to be regarded as only tentative.
The discussion of the general factors affecting lumber prices was main-
ly derived from lir. William B. Greeley's report - "Some Public and Economic
Aspects of the Lumber Industry." Department of Agriculture, Report Ko. 114,
1917, but, as 1'Ir. Greeley was not consulted in the preparation of this
report, he is not accountable for any errors that may appear.

in The American Economic Review, September 1917. Vol. VII Ko. 3 Page 585.

which constitutes over half of the total cost of lumbering, and the
high capitalization of timber stands based on the prospect of a grow-
ing scarcity of lumber - were also largo factors in the abnormal
increase in lumber prices. The cost of maintaining larger stocks of
lumber on account of the increase number of species offered in the
market, and the expense of bigger sales organizations to push conpeting
species were minor causes of the u.pv/ard trend.

The panic of 1907 had a most severe effect on lumber prices and
the recovery of lumber prices after the panic was exceedingly slow. In.
fact, the history of lumber prices since 1907 has exhibited some new
tendencies and has thrown some old tendencies into higher relief.
Because of its more direct bearing on the subject of lumber price fluc-
tuations during the war, this later period will be discussed in greater
detail.

In general, lumber prices since 1907 have followed the main
tendencies shown in the average fluctuations of "all commodities".
This is to bo expected in view of the influence exerted by the general
state of business, conditions upon bxiilding activities and upon many
others industries which use lumber as a raw material. Thus, the
building industries, whreh alone use over three-fourths of the lumber
cut, expand when money can bo borrowed at low rates, when business
needs new factories, when favorable corps enable the farmer to make
repairs and build new barns. On the other hand, now building is post-
poned or reduced to the minimum when the money market is tight, when
business is dull and crops are bad. Similarly the rar.lroads make
more extensive purchases of lumber in periods of prosperity than in
periods of depression; more furniture is bought when ivagcs are high,
and the demand for boxes increases in periods when a large volume of
goods is being prodiiced.

notwithstanding the close relationship which exists between lumber
and general commodity prices, it is a striking fact that since 1907,
depressions in lumber prices are more marked than depressions in the
prices of most other staples. The period of rising lumber prices
begins later, is of shorter duration and does not reach the height
attained by other prices. Moreover, lumber prices are affected
adversely by local and minor causes wh?ch do not register any effect
upon the price level of other commoc.ities. This unfavorable position
of lumber as contrasted with other staple commodities is generally
admitted* (1) Its explanation is to be found in the fundamental

economic character.xstj.es of the lumber industries.

Lunger prices have lagged behr.nd ether pr?ces because there is a
strong pressure to increase lumber production even in the face of a
declining and fluctuating

The causes of the pressure to increase lumber production are: (1)
Over-capitalization of tinbor stands en the basis of the high prices
prevailing before 1907, and the accumulation of a vast tinker surplus
in the northwest by private owners, has resulted in a heavy burden of
interest charges and taxes whloh accrue regardless of the rate of lumber
prwcVuoticn, and which make It desirable to keep on cawing lumber even
v/hon tho rl emend is siy.cl^o Moreover , the present slow movement of
inver.3 treats ia timber lands "nan forced timber owners to cut their lumber
as the only means of liquidating their investment. Thus to reduce the
load of fixed charges, and to withdraw excessive capital investments
in tin-.bcr lands, timber owrers have been content to sell lumber on a
falling market at a price tliab li-1 not yield them a profit. (2) Be-
cause of the o/er-cap.;taliz?,tion of lumber lands and bc.d accounting
methods, lumber inOuotries L-.vre had difficulty in securing credit at
the "basics and this has inwroo^cfl the pressure upon them to dump lumber
on a falling market. K././rhor ? Merest rates deirsncied by the banks
iron tlw lunber j.ndustvy ha/e al.~o limited the amount of stock they
.coujd na.rvy in dull times. (3) 1'h.e perif.bable nature of lumber and
itiJ deterioration v/hen stacked i-i yards prevent lumber from being
held over long periods of depression. (4) The highly competitive
r.-';uve of the. lur.ber industry,, due to the wide distribution of timber
regions, the snail capital necessary to start a saw mill resulting in
tli3 gro\v!;h of ever 40,000 mills, and the extreme individualism pre-
vailing among lumbermen, have prevented the development of influences
that might stabilize prices of lumber. In addition to the keen com-
petition that prevails beiween different mills in the same region
cutting the same species of wood, there ic a continual struggle between
the same species cf woorl cv.t :'.n different regj.ons and between different
species of \vocd used for the eam-j purpose. Thus Dov.gj.as Fir from the
Pacific coast competes in the markets of the middle webt v/ith Southern

or the price-cutting of mills which did not kr.ow their costs. The
diversity of conditions prevailing in the limber industry, makes any
co-operation clifficy.lt. (5) The lumber nills of the country could cut
at loast 50/5 r.ore lumber than they have ever cut in a single year and
tMr> is a constant inducement to tb.3 mill owner to increase production
and thus to reduce overhead expenses. (6) IVfcile the rapid reduction of
timber resources in all parts of the country save the Pacific Northwest
reduces the wide distribution cf lumber and suggests the possibility of
greater concentration of holdings in the future, there is no immediate
probability of lessening the intensity of competition because the poten-
tial competition - (a) from new growth on the old forest lands of the
Ea.st aBd South - (b) the imports of lumber from Canada and (c) the cut-
ting of tinker from the public forest lands under public regulation.,
(1/5 of all standing timber in the United States is still in public
ownership) will hinder the development of any lumber trust. Thus pre-
sent competition is not stayed by the prospect of a future combination.

Daring the very period when there vas a great incentive, to increase
lumber production, the total demand for lumber was either stationary
or uocj.itt3.ng. it is estimated that steel, concrete and cement have
absorbed markets which foi-rcorly reouirsd one-fifth of the total lumber
cut. (1) The increase of fire proof construction in cities .has rapidly
curtailed the use of lumber, and with the "growth of the urfean popula-
tion the pel capita, consumption of lumber dwindles. Thus the per
capita consumption of lumber in Montana in 1915 was 1,234 feet as
compared with 293 feet for Pennsylvania and 206 feet for New York. (2)
The per capita consumption of lunger in the United States has decreas-
ed from 4-85 feet in 1S09 to 375 feet in 1915. Forest Service statis-
tics Indioate a decline in the total annual production of lumber, (which
is roughly equivalent to annual consumption of lumber for building pur-
poses) from 44,509,761,000 feet in 1909 to 39,807,251,000 in 1916 and
35,631,233,000 feet in 1917. Whjle the Census of 1909 probably more near-
ly represents the total lumber production than the statistics cf any
other year, the suggestion of an absolute decline in lumber consump-
tion is sigr-if leant. (3)

While the demand for lumber is thus declining over a period of
years, the demand for lumber also fluctuates from year to year and from
season to season, causing alternate periods of overproduction and under-
production. Building operations may often be delayed and repairs can
be postponed when conditions- are unfavorable, so that expected markets
do not always materialize and lumber that h?.s been produced to meet an
expected demand must. of ten be dumped. Because of the enlarged mill

capacity, it is oasicr to increase than to curtail production and periods of over-
production thus last longer than pcricas of underproduction.

For the above reasons, limber prices usually lag behind other prices in an
upward price covement, are Vie first to feel the effects of depression and suffer
more and longer than other prices.

In addition to these main influences affecting lumber prices there are a
number of seasonal fluctuations. The price of building lumber is usually higher
in the spring at ttje peak 'of building activity when shipments exceed production
and stocks are running low. The state of building activity in part depends upon
the general business conditions already referred to and in part upon the weather.
A mild spring causes early building activity in the cities, but it stops build-
ing on the farms because of the opening of other farm work. The weather also
affects production. FHoous or a severe winter in the South hinder the production
of logs and cause a shortage later in the year. These seasonal influences often
blend in a larger movement, as v/hen good weather brings good crops which lead
to a return of prosperity, etc.

The actual fluctuations in lumber prices sinoe 1907 shows the effect of
the fundamental factors tbat have checked advancer in lumber prices. It was not
until 1912 that lumber prices had reached the level of 1907 and then because of
the slight business depression in 1914 and 1915 prices again broke sharply. The
general upward trend of priest; which bc-gan as early as the fall of 1915, did not
permanently influence lumber prices until the fall of 1916. The rise in lumber
that has taken place s.l:ioe has been greatly stimulated by government orders and
the enforced curtailment, of production on account of the labor shortage. In .
spite of these aids, lumber prices have not risen quite so much as the average
prices of "all commodities".

2. The Yellow Pine Jlarket Since 1914.

Southern Yellow Pr.ne is the leading species of American lumber; the
wide distribution of its production, and the large extent to which it enters
into building operations throughout the nation,- cause its price to correspond to
general influences affecting the prices of all commodities. liany of the forces
controlling Yellow Pino prices have affected North Carolina Pine, and have had a
strong sympathetic influence upon the prices of Douglas Fir, Hemlock, Western
Vfliite Pine, and Western Yellow Pine, - the chief competitors of Southern Yellow
Pine for general building purposes c

The general range of influences affecting all lumber \ised in building
will accordingly be discussed in connection with Yellow Pine prices. In sub-
sequent histories of the prices of other woods, only the special factors affect-
ing these other woods will be discussed.

Yellow Pine prices reached a high level in 1912, and a general feeling
of optimism caused an expansion of production and an increase in stocks, A tone
of conservatism prevailing in most lines of business on account of the tariff and

pending currency legislation caused a pronounced decline in building activi-
ties and a fall in railroad purchases, which were immediately reflectea in a
sharp reduction of Yellow Pine prices. Under the stress of low prices «,any
small Yellow Pine mills were shut down during 1913. The normal seasonal in-
crease of building activities in the spring of 1914, checked the fall in
prices for a tiiie but this slight prosperity was short-lived. The curtail-
ment of pine exports on account of the war increased to some extent the lum-
ber to be absorbed \n domestic markets, while the general depression in busir
ness caused by the outbreak of the European war stopped mucn of tne fall
building, and what was even more significant, the inability of the planters
to market their cotton without a European outlet, almost completely cut off
the demand for pine lumber in the agricultur.allregions of > the South.

The effect of tnese forces was to force pine prices to stall lower level
until the end of 1914. While building permits issued during the first half
of 1215, ($371, 867, 000) were even lower than the preceding year, thus reflect-
ing the adverse conditions of the fall of 1914, recovery was already in pror
gress, Improvement of business conditions following the study of the effects
of the European war, the financing of Southern cotton, the den.and for lumber
from factories with war orders, increased building activity increase cf or-
ders from the railroads, large crons and high agricultural prices stimulating
building on farms and settlement of the Chicago building strike, all increase':
the demand for lumber and started an era of rising prices by the end of IS 15.
Lumber pricas lagged behind prices of othsr staple coirtnodities, but when the
advance in Yellow Pine prices started it was very rapid,

The accumulation of stocks, and increased production of Yellow Pine sti-
mulated by rising prices, the difficulties in securing steel for building c^r;
(affecting the demand for limber used with steel) , the shortage of export ton-
nage and the late development of building activity in the North caused a ten.-
porary set back in the price of yellow pine during the early part of 1916.

The rapid development of building to a new level of $463,735,000 in first
half of 1916, some increased purchases of lumber by the railroads, ana in-
creased labor costs started Yellow Pin.3 prices on an upward trend in the fall
of 1916. The slump in prices in the early part of 1916, had caused curtail-
ment of production and a reduction of stocks so that supplies .vere lov, while
fears of a car shortage and a general railroad strike checked the tendency
toward over-production.

The demand for pine lumber ker>t increasing on account of good building
conditions and eagerness of retail dealers to replenish their stocks whenever
cars could be obtained. This demand was swelled by large govsrnment orders f^
cantonment stock and for Aooden ships. While the demand for pine luri.ber was
thus rising, the labor shortage was becoming more and more acute on account c
the draft, so that a curtailment of Yellow Pine production was enforced. The
result was that the Yellow Pine industry s&cured more orders than it could ii
fill, and Yellow Pine prices kept advancing throughout 1917,until they have ni.
reached a point that is slightly in advance of the average price of all com-
modities.
(W. I.E. -359-51)

'

-S2-

Ths over uroducticn that has usually followed an era of high Yellow
Pine prices has not taken place this year because of labor shortage. Lack of
labor, and to a lesser extent the car shortage limits the production of Yeliov
Pine mills to frorc 50% to 70^ of normal prod-action, and the lumbermen are con-
sequently able to sell this reduced output at high prices.

3 . Special Factors Affecting the Pr ices of P her Kinds of Lumber :

(A) Ash:

Ash prices have been very stable during the perf.ods of depres-
sion and have risen steadily since the beginning of 1917 . The strong govern-
ment demands for Ash handles, oars, and airplane parts and the relatively small
and declining production of ash are sufficient to account for this rise in
price.

(B) Bass-.vood:

Basswood prices felt the full effects cf the depression in

1914 and 1915, but a rise in Basswood prices commencing late in 1916 was rein-
forced early ir 1918 by a strong government demand for Basswood for saddle
stock and hydroplane bodies. The result of this increased demand, for a wood
that is produced in relatively SLiall quantities was to force prices up during
1918 at a rate not exceeded by that of any other hardwood.

(C) Birch:

Birch, used chiefly for planing mill products, boxes and

crates, furniture, chairs, woodenware, shuttles and fixtures fell to a, very -low
price in 1915, but since than Birch prices have climbed steadily. Birch is
used for training plane propellers, army vehicle stock and ooxes, and such an
advance in prices is to to expected.

(D) Chestnut:

Chestnut prices have corresponded very closely to the prices
of Hard Maple, Ash, Poplai and Hemlock. While the Chestnut blight has in-
creased Chestnut production temporarily, the effect of the reduction in Chest-
nut stands has probably offset th-s effect of a short-lived increase in Chest-
nut cutting.-'

(]£) Cypress:

The significant feature to be noticed in Cypress prices, is

the firnness thoy maintained during th-3 period of depression in 1914. While
prices of Yellow Pine declined sharply, Cypress prices were shaded only slight-
ly.

Cypress prices have bsen maintained in the face of declining

lumber market because of the special demand for the durable lumber Cypress for
doors, saahvblinds, tanks, silos and because of • the combination of circumstances
(W. I. B. ±359-52)

-53-

permitting a very effective aegree of control over production. The concen-
tration of fhe Cypress production in a few regions-chief ly in the swampy
districts of Louisiana-the large investment required to build railroads and
dig canals into the swamps, the necessity of carrying large stocks of , •
Cypress because of the unusual period of time required to dry the green lum
ber, made necessary the investment of large capital and permitted a concen-
tration of holding that is not possible in the case of other species of lum-
ber. With a few large n,anufacturers controlling the greater part of Cypress
production, with sales chiefly made through one selling agency, and with a
production for .' hich there is a special demand and which is durable and can
be stored without considerable depreciation, Cypress producers were not unde_
pressure to sell on a falling market. Consequently, when the demand fqr
Cypress declines, the producers simply refuse to sell at any considerable re-
duction in price, curtailing their production to meet the reduced demand.
Thus when demand for Cypress was only 10% of normal in November, 1913, the
Lumber Trade Journal reports that "a majority of the manufacturers ha^e an-
nounced their intention of adhering- strictly to prices which tney believe
will yield a fair return on their product, and will ma&e no furthsr conces-
sions regardless of the extent of the demand".

Prices thus being maintained at a relatively high leval during periods
of depression, the advance during periods of rising prices is not so marked.

(F) Douglas Fir:

Douglas Fir is the latest virgin forest wood to enter the market,
and its stands are most abundant of any American wood.

Douglas Fir is used for general building on the Pacific coast, it i=
the chief wood exported to Chile and Peru, and it competes with Southern
Yellow Pine in the markets of the Middle West. It is regarded as a substi-
tute for Yellow Pine, and its production has increased to fill the vacuum
caused by the slacken ing of pine production. Its price moves in sympathy
with that of Southern Yellow Pine.

The price of Douglas Fir was Bnusually depressed during 1914, so
that the Douglas Fir mills were losing money. Consequently a considerable
rise in price was to be expected.

The marked rise that did take place probably exceeded expectations.
This has been due to the strong government demand for Douglas Fir both for
shipbuilding on the Pacific Coast and for airplane wings, to the continued
exportation of Douglas Fir to Chile, Peru, etc., at almost; a pre-war level,
to the effective sales o-rganiaatioa which has pushed Douglas Fir in the
markets of the Middle West ana to the rising of Southern Yellow Pine.

(G) Gum;

The advance in Gum prices since la 15 has excea.aed the average in-.-.,
crease in the price of other hardwoods. The reason for this exceptional aci
vance is due to the rise of Gum from a cheap, lib tie-known wood, to a wood
which, as a result of advertising and a study of its qualities, is gaining
increasing
(W. I.E. -359-53)

-54-

favor for boxes and interior finish.
(H) Hemlock;

Hemlock lumber competes with Yellow Pine for construction work
and its price moves somewhat in sympathy with Y<illc<v Pine prices. Henlock
prices, however, have not risen as high as Yellow Fine prices during 3917.
This is probably to be chiefly accounted for by the maintenance of Hemlock
production during 1917 at practically the normal level on account of the
demand for Hemlock bark for tanning.

(I) Hickory:

Hickory prices were fairly stable during the depression in 1914 and
1915 ,and since 1916 they have shown an advance equal to that of plain Oak.
Hickory is chiefly used for vehicles and for handles and the increased war
demand for both, has enabled Hickory prices to keep pace Mth other hardwood
prices.

(J) Maple :

Flooring is the most important use of Maple, although it is also
employed extensively in furniture, chaits, vehicles and other wooden products
}riaple has a variety of war uses which have strengthened the normal demand for
Maple so that its increase in price has bean equal to that of other hardwoods.

(K) Oak:

The price of plain Oak has fluctuated in the same general way as
Yellow Pine prices. The demand for Oak is widely distributed among planing
mills, car, furniture, vehicle manuf acturess and a great variety of smaller
consumers, and it consequently is controlled to a large extent by the funda-
mental price factors. The price of plain Oak during 1913 was higher than nor
r.ial; with the result that its relative rise since 1913 has not been as great
as that of Yellow Pine.

The market forviiite Oak is more specialized than the market:, for ^
plain Oak, and its price fluctuations have been less pronounced.

The checkered orice career of quartered red Oak may be due either
to the narrow range of nrice quotations or to an unstable market due to
fluctuating demand.

(L) North Caroling Fine:

North Carolina Pine followed somewhat closely the fluctuations of
Southern Yellow Pine, until the spring of 1917 when its advance was checked.

(W. I .B. -359-54)

-55-

A considerable amount of North Carolina Pina is used in box making. North
Carolina -Pine production has bean particularly affected by lab'or shortage
because of its prgxiif.ity to many large government snterprises .

(M) Northern '.Vhito Pine:

Northern White Pine prices havs maintained almost an unbroten
level even during periods of depression. This lumcer, considered the best
wood for doors, etc., is rapidly diminishing in supply and bears practically
a monopoly price in its special field.

(N) Western White Pine:

Western White Pins prices, alone of all lumber prices, did not
decline during 1914 and 1915, but maintained an unvarying level. This ex-
traordinary stability is due to the same causes affecting the Northern White
Pine, which tLa Western White Pine closely resembles.

These reasons are dec lining production and increasing demand for
White Pine as a. superior wood for doors, and planing mill products.

(0) Yellow Po-plar:

Yellow Poplar prices declined only slightly during the depression
in 1914 and 1915 and, during 1917 and 1918 they have risen rapidly.

"The rising price of Poplar, is to be expected in view of its dimin-
ishing rate of production, and the special demand for Poplar wood for high
grade boxes on account of its odorless and easy-working qualities, and the
deaand for it for furniture panels and veneers on account of the clear, wide
boards which can toe sawed from Poplar logs.

'The war requirements for Poplar for airplane construction contri-
buted to the factors responsible for the rapid rise in price duiing 191? and
1918.

(P) Spruce :

Spruce prices have exhibited very steady tendencies. The use of
Spruce for both pulpwood and lumber has given it a great advantage . Being
the chief pulpwood it has felt the stimulus of the rising cost of paper. As
the best lumber for airplane propeller wings, its production has been pushed
and its price advanced.

(O) Hardwoods:

There is a sympathetic relation between the prices of various
hardwoods because hardwoods usually occur in mixed stands, are produced
jointly, and compete with each other for the same uses).

(W. I.E. -359-55)

Hardwoods are the principal woods used by wide rangs of industries
such as the furniture, vehicle, agricultural implement industries, and a multi-
tude of other wood-using industries . Bardwoods are used in general constructio:
mush less than softwoods, being employed chiefly for interior finish and in
expensive flooring. Because of the numerous industrial uses of hardwoods,
however, their prices aro affected by many of th3 fundamental forces whicn
affect the building industry.
