LUMBERMEN OF NORTHWEST SEE TRADE REVIVAL Output of Lumber Now Within 13 Per Cent of Normal. PORTLAND, Ore., Nov. 9.—The lumber industry In the last few weeks has been resuming rapidly the foreground In the Industrial life of the Pacific northwest. Rising from the low water mark of CO per cent below normal, which was registered a few months ago, lumber production today is only 13 per cent under the normal output, according to a report of the West 'Coast Lumbermen's Association. EXPECT NORMAL OUTPUT IN 1922. Leading lumbermen predict that It will be entirely back to normalcy by the early part of 1922 and they presage that the coming of spring will witness the shattering of previous production records. The recuperation of the Northwest’s industrial mainstay started three months ago and recovery, though with not quite all Its old-time vigor, was reached during October. The proof is found In reports of production shipments by rail and water and figures on market demand and employment. Virtually all of the lumber Mills and camps in the Northwest which suspended operations have resumed activities with complete crews and at full capacity. Market conditions In some sections of the Middle West and East are not entirely satisfactory but this Is offset by new orders which are rapidly coming from the Orient, the Antipodes, the Atlantic seaboard and California ports. High rail rates are no longer a market handicap. In the opinion of leading lumber men. They point out that due to the’ lower price of lumber, the Now York market price today Is approximately s2l per thousand less than It was during the period of lower rates.
