By FORBES RHUDE

Canadian Press Business Editor Canada's forests in 1955 put more money into the hands of Canadians than ever before.

Their heavy sales to other coun- tries put much of the punch Into Canada's booming year, and at home their products went into vir- tually every phase of the coun- try's expansion.

Lumber. pulp and newsprint on the basis of available figures. all reached record production.

PACE CONTINUES

Available figures for nine and 10 months, plus the fact there seemed no let-up in the pace they estab- lished, give a good idea of the full picture.

In 10 months to the end of Octo- ber sales of all forest products to all countries totalled 51.265.100.000, up S1-i5.900,000. In the same period sales of all Canadian products in other countries totalled s3,57s.zoo,. 000 up :39:-1.700.000.

In nine months to the cod of Seplembe ' S exports totalled 3295,000,000, up 26 per cent over the same period last year, and nearing 1954's full-year figure of 3310,000.000. All markets were up. To the end of September pulp- wood exports were S220,000,000, up nine per cent. All markets were up except the Far East.

In the same period newsprint ex- ports totalled S4Dl.000.000. up 822.. 000.000. All markets were no

At year-end priccs wcrr good, in- ventories werc generally low nd the American and Hritict markets I-Iomiled to hold up

Main concern was liigli ocean shipping rates which raise the Price tag on Canadian lumber overseas. Coupled with this was Britain's rec cni tightening of credit which tends in make buy- ers reduce their inventories to raise cash. and also Hrlialn's re- moval of subsidies from housing. This fall United States purchases showed signs of slipping but the, trade interpreted this as invcntoryi cutting to shave crisis on carrying supplies rather than deterioration in essential demand

Big Production Gains In Forestry During Past Year

substantial increases. were the giants Oi the east-of-the-Rockies

were leaders.

Nova Scotla, with her long-de- veloped summer logging practices. was able to take advantage of British demand and shipments seemed limited only by the space available. The province's produc- tion increased by nearly one-third to 341,134,000 feet.

A poor winter in the woods af- fected New Brunswlck but her pro duction was up. Prince Edward Is- land also had a rather surprislng' percentage increase jumping l.000.000 feet to 7.668.000.

Alberta increased production 54,- 9l8.000 feet to 348,803,000 to supply her booming construction. Cold fall weather: further improved the situation by freezing the muskeg.

Manitoba was up about 5,000,000 feet at 45.030,000 but Saskatchewan was down about 7,000,000 at 81,232,. 000. on the nine-month figures. Saskatchewan's Septembc 'mrluc- tion, however. was up hv 1,000,000 feet.

NEWSPRINT GAINS

Newsprint production for the full year is estimated at 6.180.000 inns, a gain since 1945 of 2,588,000

All this gain, however, was .iot. enough to meet expanding de- mand.eapecially in the United States. Whfbh takes 80 per cent of Canadian production.

At year-end supplies were cm- barrassingly low and several com- panies reduced dclivcrio: ori worked extended hours. i

Starting In October nearly all Canadian and some American pro- ducers rinnounced price increases ranging from 83 in 35 e'fi-ctivc at various dates.

The companies claimed the in- creases were necessary to meet rising costs and to enable expan- sion to meet rising demand. Many United States and Cana- dian publishers, however. pro- tested that the improved state of "'6 Indultfy and its rising profits made the increase unjustifiable. Protests of other post-war in- creases came chiefly from the United States. with Canadian pub- lishers showing considerable sym- nath" for the companies' case. This tlrne.however, they didntt lliln' ”'- companies had made a case.

an estimated 6,220,000 tons in 1956, 0.575.000 in 1057 and 6,900,000 in 1958. Present indications are th at supply will be tight for most of 1956 but that by 1057 and 1950 capacity should be sufficient for demand.

Quebec is the giant of the news- print industry with more than half Canada's total production.

British Columbia. however. has spent g5200,000,000 on new pulp and paper projects since 1047, has sev- ertil large projects in hand. and may spend another t200.000.00fi in the next five years. Other projects are under way. in other provinces.
