Notice From tHe U.S. DEpt. oF 
AGRICULTURE 
Because of the extent to which pri- 
vate agencies are now collecting lum- 
ber price data, the Secretary of Agri- 
culture has decided to discontinue 
publication by the Forest Service of 
its quarterly issue of mill and whole- 
sale lumber prices. 
When the Government began to 
publish these compilations detailed 
statistics upon production, consump- 
tion, and prices were available for all 
of the great industries which produce 
and handle raw materials, lumbering 
only excepted. Many of these statis- 
tics were being gathered by the Fed- 
eral Government, particularly the 
monthly crop reports and cotton re- 
ports. Prior to 1905 the lumber in- 
dustry, then fourth and now third — 
largest of the country, lacked even an- 
nual statistics of production. In that 
year a compilation of the lumber cut 
was started by the Forest Service, 
with the cooperation of the Bureau 
of Census. Authentic records of 
prices of standard grades in the cen- 
ters of distribution did not become 
available until 1908, when the Forest 
Service began its record of wholesale 
prices. This record, by leading mar- 
kets, was published monthly until No- 
vember, 1910. Since then it has been 
compiled and published on a quarter- 
ly basis. 
After a year’s publication of mar- 
ket prices there was a general demand 
for the compilation of prices at the 
mills, since the market quotations in- 
cluded freight and other costs subse- 
quent to manufacture, and did not 
show the prices received by manufac- 
turers. In July, 1909, the Forest 
Service began a quarterly publication 
of mill prices of lumber, which ex- 
cept for minor changes in species and 
grades has been continued ‘without - 
change until the present time. 
Within the past two years lumber 
associations and other agencies have 
taken up actively the work of compil- 
ing and publishing lumber prices in 
most of the lumber-producing regions. 
Under these circumstances it is consid- 
ered unnecessary for the Government 
to continue this work, except to the. 
extent necessary for its own informa- 
tion. Hence the decision to discon- 
tinue the quarterly publications of the © 
Forest Service. The usual January 
issue containing the prices for Octob- 
er, November and December is not to ~ 
be brought out. \
