" duction_for Jan REAT WEATHER SETBAC IN LUMBER TRADE Production and Shipments, However, Break Record for Week Ending Feb. 17. While production and shipments of lumber rebounded sharply last week from the temporary restrictions im- nosed by the severe weather of the mid- dle of February, new business for that Week decreased still further as com- pared with the rush of orders so far this year. However, new business re- ported for the week ending February 17, according to the weekly review of tho National Lumber Manufacturers' Association, was about 35 per cent larger than for the corresponding week last year. Thoe present decline in new business is attributed principally to the west coast section and is largely due to con- scrvative acceptance of orders on ac- count of impairment of current pro- ductive capacity by the recent unfavor- able weather conditions. As accumu- lated orders for the year are still in- asing faster than shipments and much faster than production, the prob- ably temporary recession in new busi- nesg i not unwelcome. With respect to p b .HISN reporting show theis Dbe 128 per cent and orders 110 per cenit; southern pine mills, taken by them- ~elves, show proportions of 119 and 114 ber cent, respectlively, with the west coast mills shipments were 12 cent of production cent. With respect to the normal production for the week represents 350 of the above mill production was 87 per cent, shipments 111 per cent and orders 94 per cent. Weather for Logging.
