Weatlier conditions Iiavi' been rather more favorable in this section 

 during the past fortnight, but still there have been both rain and snow in 

 moderate quantity, with the result that there has been more or less inter- 

 ference with logging operations. There has been an increase in the move- 

 ment of timber in this territory during the past two or three weeks, but it 

 has been comparatively light for the reason that no large amount of timber 

 has been olTer<.Kl to the logging companies or available for moving by firms 

 which look after the handling of their own logs. There is no doublt that 

 the shortage of log supply Is still rather marked and the opinion still 

 holds that there is no possibility of a very substantial increase in hard- 

 wood lumber output unless there is a decided change for the better in 

 weather conditions. There have been few winters in the history of this 

 territory when there has been as much precipitation in the form of rain, 

 sleet or snow as during the one just ended, and this has proven a very 

 restricting iiifiui nee on work in the woods. Added to this is the shortage 

 of timber growing out of the voluntary stoppage of all logging operations 

 for several months during the late summer and autumn. The Valley Log 

 Loading Company is loading only « small percentage of normal quantity 

 of timber, and private firms that look after the handling of their own 

 timber shipments are making only moderate progress. This scarcity of 

 timber is regarded by members of the trade here as the most sustaining 

 inUuence in the market aside from the Increased demand which has recently 

 made itself felt.
