Substitution Point
Can the price-increases made m the last two or three years m certain classes of timberbe justified by any corresponding rise m the cost of production? The Dominion Federated Sawmillers' Association will shortly hold; its annual meeting; and it will be interesting to see whether the association takes a short view or a long view of the situation. As regards the price-boom, is not the hand-writing on the wall? Western red cedar has been coming into Auckland m quantity. This, and another American timber, Douglas fir (Oregon pine), may have a say m the matter. Has not the soaring price of native- timben reached substitution point?
