---<, MEMPHIS y- 



The Gayoso Lumber Company is installing a hardwood mill here which 

 will have a capacity of about 40,000 feet per day. The mill was pur- 

 chased from the Fair-Crittenden Lumber Company a short time ago and 

 although it has been used slightly it is in first-class condition. The 

 Gayoso Lumber Company owns a large amount of timber in Tunica county. 

 It has been bringing the logs to Memphis and having them cut at custom 

 mills. As soon as its own mill is installed, however, which will be about 

 Jan. 1, it will do its own sawing. The firm has also increased its yarding 

 capacity to take care of the output. 



The big new double band mill of Russe & Burgess, Inc., has been com- 

 pleted and was placed in operation a few days ago. This mill has a dally 

 capacity of about 50,000 feet, which is an increase of approximately fifty 

 per cent over that of the mill which was dismantled In July. 



Business conditions here, taken as a whole, are quite satisfactory. Bank 

 clearings during October broke all records in the history of this city, ex- 

 ceeding last year by more than two million dollars. While the big sales 

 of cotton at unusually high prices account for a considerable portion of 

 this increase, it is pointed out that lumber interests have made a sui)- 

 stantiai contribution through the increased business done during October 

 this year as compared with the same month ^D 1912.
