A | careful investigation undertaken by {the American lumnbermen shows that { there has been shipped this year fully. as much lumber as has been produced. | Added to this is the fact that orders {have exceeded production by a con- siderable extent when deliveries by {wagon and automobile in local ter- |ritory are taken “into consideration. |In the fir manufacturing territory on i the Pacific coast, it is estimated that conservatively one-half billion feet ihave been delivered by truck and { wagon by the lumber manufacturers, {and these sales are not totaled when {a report is made of orders received iTaking this condition into consider: i tion, and also, the fact that produc- tion was exceeded by orders by about 14 per cent, the conclusion’ is reached {that, from the perlod from January 1, 1921, to date, the manufacturers have booked orders for about 9 per. {cent more lumber than has been pro- duced.
