a Estimated from values reported, actual measurements not being given. The principal obiect in the compilation of these tables has been 

 to show the quantity of forest material involved in our exports and imports. All estimates of quantity are made on the basis of the cubic 

 foot as a common standard. Where the reports from which these tables are compiled do not give quantities, but only values, the quantities 

 have been estimated fiom the values. In the case of manufactures, such as barrels, cabinet ware, etc ., articles are estimated to have one- 

 third of their value in material, and this is reckoned as worth 25 cents per cubic toot. Sound timber is reckoned at 8 cents per cubic foot, ship 

 timber at 25. Shingles are estimated at 14 cubic feet per 1,000, and lath at 16 feet per 1,000. .«,,,, 



b Tt will be seen by a comparison of figures that only about one-fifth in value of all importations o± wood and wood products consists of 

 articles not producible in this country. 



From the preceding tabulation of the annual cut of timber it appears that about three- 

 fourths of our consumption comes from coniferous growth— pines, spruces, firs, hemlock, red- 

 woods, cedar, etc. 



This particular portion of our resource is, therefore, the most important, and again the white 

 pine has so far formed the bulk of these supplies. It will, therefore, appear appropriate to 

 reproduce such portions of Senate Document Xo. 40, furnished by the Division of Forestry, as will 

 elucidate the economic condition of this particular part of our resource.
