Timber Sales.— There was a slight improvement in the lumber 

 market over the preceding year, but not a full recovery. This im- 

 provement in market conditions is reflected in the sales of National 

 Forest timber. The cut of the year under sales increased in amount 

 about 8 per cent, and in value 34 per cent, while the sales of the year 

 (largely of timber to be cut under operations which ma}^ extend over 

 several 3'ears, but in no case over more than five) doubled in amount 

 and rose nearly two and one-half times in value. The large increase 

 in sales for cutting in the immediate future and the increase in the 

 average stumpage price obtained are particularly noteworthy.

 previous years) w^ ere as follows :
