=-< MEMPHIS >•- 



There- is unusual aotivily in Imildini; uii.Tations here and on this 

 account there is a good demand for building material of practically all 

 kinds. There are several new huildings which have been projected during 

 the past few weeks for which permits will bo taken out in the immediate 

 future. Indications are that there will ho unusual activity iu buildinj^r 

 circles throughout the summer and this is regarded as a very favorable 

 condition by those engaged in the supplying of building materials. A 

 nurabrr of these buildings will be linished in hardwoods. 



The sixty-mile extension of the Uock Island system from Camden to 

 Malvern, Ark., has lM'i>n completed and the tirst train run over the road. 

 This line taps a section which is very rich in timber resources and will 

 prove an important factor in the development thereof. There are a 

 number of woodworking entei;prlses at both Camden and Malvern, as well 

 as at intermediate points. 



Bank clearings at Memphis for the first six months of 1913 were the 

 si'cond largest *m record, being exceeded only by those for the correspond- 

 ing period in 1012. The decrease, compared with that time, was only 

 SI.'JOO.OOO. A feature of the general business for the period in question 

 was the decided gain in transactions on tlie part of lumber interests, 

 which enjoyed larger and more proUtable business than for several years. 

 If all interests had fared as well as the lumbermen there would have 

 lieen a large increase instead of a decrease in bank clearings. 



The Cate-I.anive Company, capitalized at I'lO.OOO, has been incorpor- 

 ated under the laws of Arkansas, with headquarters at Jonesboro. It will 

 engaee in the general cooperage business. II. L. I.anive is president. 

 W. W. Cate is vice-presi<Ient and J. T. Slagle is secretary. The lirm has 

 mills at Corning and Illyt Iteville and the men connected with the company 

 are practical cooperage men. 



Actual preparation lor the building of the new bridge of the Rock 

 Island system across the Mississippi river at Memphis has already begun. 

 This new bridge will prove a very important addition to the traflic facili- 

 ties of Memphis and is regarded very favorably on this account by lumber 

 interests which have suffered more or less from trafhc conizestiou during 

 the past few years. The management has already advertised for bids for 

 a very large quantity of lumber to be used in the construction of a fleet 

 of barges necessary to the foundation work for the new structure. The 

 bridge itself will also re^jnire a considerabie amount of lumber and this 

 will be supplied by sawmill interests in Memphis or the Memphis territory. 



The A'alley Log Loading Company is loading timber freely on the 

 Yazoo w^ Mississippi Valley line of the Illinois Central and it is likewise 

 loading considerable timber on the Memphis-Marianna cut-oflf of the 

 St. Louis. Iron ^Mountain & Southern. Much of this timber is coming to 

 Memphis over both lines, though some of it is for mills at intermediate 

 jioints. The amount of limber being loaded by the Valley Log Loading 

 Company is considerably in excess of that loaded at the same time last 

 year. 



The weather in the Memphis territory during the past fortnight has 

 been exceptionally favorable for work in the woods, which has made very 

 satisfactory progress. Practically all the mills in Memphis and the 

 immediate Memphis territory are well supplied with logs and the outlook 

 for an adequate timber supply is con'^idered exceptionally good.
