BIO OREGON LUMBER PRODUCTION
Car Shortage Hampers Domestic Shipments by
Rail—Large Export Orders Filled
PORTLAND, ORE., May 1.—Export demand for
lumber produced in western Oregon and west-
ern Washington is growing steadily heavier, ac-
cording to the weekly barometer of the West
Coast Lumbermen's Association. New export
orders accepted by 127 mills contributing to the
report for the week ending April 17 aggregated
16,436,811 feet, which was approximately 25 per
cent of all the business for the week.
The car shortage is reflected in the low
volume of rail shipments, which totaled only 1,-
375 cars, or 41,250,000 feet. This group of mills
now has an aggregate of 10,229 cars, or 306,-
870,000 feet of unfilled rail orders on their books.
