Northern Cut and Shipments June, 1913 



During the month of .Tune, less hemlock was sawed than usual at this 

 season, while a larger amount of summer hardwood was manufactured, 

 making the total production of normal amount. Hemlock shipments were 

 lighter than in Ma.y, with hardwood shipments in excellent volume for 

 the time of year. 



The summary of reports for the last twelve months given below, shows 

 that during this period, hemlock shipments have exceeded the cut by 

 24 per cent and that hardwood shipments have gone beyond production 

 by 4 per cent. Shipments of hemlock and hardwoods combined have 

 exceeded the production by 15 per cent since July 1, 1912. Reports from 

 seventy-two firms give these totals for June :
