In the comparatively near future all of our eastern timber regions which do not already import more lumber than they export will begin to do so. The southern pine region as already shown is still a large exporter, but within 10 years production promises to be little, if any, in excess of local requirements. In New England total consumption probably passed total output between 1880 and 1890, and within a few years this section will meet half of its total requirements from outside sources. New York has not produced lumber in excess of its own needs since a few years before the Civil War. The Pittsburgh district alone probably uses more lumber than is. now cut in the entire State of Penn- sylvania, and the State ceased to be an important exporter shortly after 1890. The Lake States as a whole still produce more lumber than they
