THE PRICE OF TIMBER.
DROP IN CHRISTCHURCH. REPLY TO COMPETITION. [BY TELEGRAPH.OWN correspondent.] CHRISTCHURCH. Tuesday. Prices of certain classes of .West Coast timber have been reduced in Christen urcb, the drop being from Is to 3s per 100 ft. The reduction is operative from May 1, and it has been decided upon by the North Canterbury Timber Merchants' Association in anticipation of a drop in prices on the West Coast, which is announced to take effect from June 1. The trade ha taken action in order to meet competition in timber which has developed from Southland, and also to stimulate building operations if possible. Actually the reductions will not make a great deal of difference in the cost of a house, because they only apply to undressed timbers.
