Western species of boards dominate northeastern markets (Figure 

 13) . Western white pine is the leader in this species group, followed by 

 ponderosa pine and redwood. Fifty percent of the yards, principally in 

 the southern portion of the region, stock ponderosa pine. Redwood is 

 stocked by 45 percent of the regional yards. The stocking of this species 

 by yards of the various states indicates that its use is universal through 

 the region. Over one-half of the yards in Massachusetts and West Vir- 

 ginia, and over one-third of the yards in Pennsylvania and Vermont, 

 report stocking redwood. Western spruce is also an important species
