Point of Sale Prices and Volumes 



Table 7 shows that stumpage sales were predominant in farm marketing 

 practices. Of 2,906.000 board feet sold, 2.262.000 were sold as stumpage, 

 335,000 were sold at roadside, and only 309.000 were sold at further de- 

 livery points. Pulpwood was sold as a cut product only and 895 of a 

 total of 926 cords were sold delivered at a mill or plant. Since distance 

 to a mill or plant affects prices at previous points of delivery, the effect on 

 prices received at mill delivery points cannot be determined. In general 

 Table 8 shows that sawlogs brought about $9.00 per 1.000 board feet as 

 stumpage, about •'131.00 at the roadside, and only about $30.00 delivered 

 to a mill or plant. Pulpwood averaged about $14.00 per cord at a roadside 

 or railroad car delivery point and $18.50 per cord delivered at a mill or 

 plant. The highest price. $65.00 per 1,000 board feet, was obtained for 

 bolts (white ash and white birch) delivered to a mill.

Table 9 shows a further breakdown of prices by species and delivery 

 points. Hemlock logs brought a slightly higher price than white pine. In 

 pulpwood the prices for all species varied little with a range of only 17 

 to 19 dollars per cord for either hardwood or softwood delivered at a mill.
