CAN ADA LUMBERMAN Total manufactured 2,915,149,000 , Total exported 1,881,195,000 Leaving for domestic consumption 1,033,954,000 Whilst for the time being hope has been abandoned of getting a bill through the Provincial Legislature prohibiting the use of wood shingles, our opponents are now endeavoring to incorporate their ideas into the Building Codes and therein will lie the danger. After full discussion of this matter we urge the adoption of a resolution cover- ing this entire question. The National Lumber Manufacturers' Association through their Publicity Director, Mr. Edward P. Allan, have designed a fire resistive frame construction to which your careful attention is drawn. Housing conditions still remain critical. We understand there is a shortage of 1,300,000 houses in the United States, and notwith- standing the fact that shipment of southern woods are largely in excess of production they continue to be considerably below normal. For the month of September southern pine production amounted to about 82 per cent, of normal, shipments to about 91 per cent of normal, stocks about 93 per cent, of normal whilst orders were 6 per cent, over normal. These conditions indicate a better movement of lumber, and it is to be hoped that the lumber is being moved at prices which will enable both manufacturer and wholesaler to moke a living profit. All indications point to business having started on the upward swing. The estimated cost of building work as indicated by building permits in thirty-five Canadian cities for October 1920 amounted to $9,025,725. In October 1921 the figures are $8,431,113. To show roughly the position of Canada in world-wide affairs it is stated that Canada's production of natural resources is approximat- ely as follows:— Asbestos, 88 per cent., Nickle, 85 per cent., Pulp- wood, 32 per cent., Lumber, 20 per
