A Halt in the Price Decline 



From all Indications the decline tn construction costs, 

 which began In June. 1020, seems for the present to have 

 halted. As a result, the outlook In the building fleM 

 must be judged from two viewpoints — that of the Imme- 

 diate future and that of its longer trend. 



The current Building Bulletin gives a complete analysis 

 of this situation. Free copy will be sent upon request.

MAIN OFFICE AND MILLS 

 MELLEN, WISCONSIN 



and president of the Xatioual Wholesale Lumber Dealers' Association, says 

 that very heavy rains in Mississippi have interfered seriously with logging 

 operations during the past three or four weeks and that considerable 

 difficulty is being encountered in securing enough logs to keep the firm's 

 plants at Louise and Cary, Miss., going at capacity. 



John W. Dickson, president of the Valley Log Loading Company, says 

 that his firm is loading only about 20 per cent of a normal quantity of logs 

 for this time of the year, and that there is not more than one-fifth of a 

 normal supply of logs available for loading on the Yazoo & Mississippi 

 Valley lines. He estimates that there are something like 1,000,000 to 

 1,500,000 feet compared with an average of 5,000,000 to 7,500,000 feet. 

 He attributes this poor showing largely to the disorganized state of the 

 industry, though he concedes that weather conditions are quite an impor- 

 tant factor in the limited supplies awaiting loading. 



The Ersklne Williams Lumber Company, which has offices in the Ran- 

 dolph building. Memphis, Tenn., has secured the exclusive sale of 5,000.000 

 feet of quartered red and sap gum and oak, cut by the White River Land 

 & Lumber Company of Arkansas City, Ark., on the Thane Lumber Com- 

 pany's mill at that point. 



The Memphis Land & Lumber Company has secured the sale of 

 the entire output of the Henry Quellmalz Lumber & Manufacturing Com- 

 pany mill at reach Orchard, Ark. The cut is 50,000 feet a day, mostly 

 gum, oak and ash. The Memphis company has also arranged to handle 

 the output of the Drake mill at Hickory Flat, Miss., cutting dimension 

 stock and car stock in oak, hickory and gum. 



LOUISVILLE 



Robert M. **arrier. president of the Ameriran Hardwood Manufacturers* 

 Association, has announced that the annual meeting will he held at Louis- 

 ville, March 7 and 8, this being the first membership meeting since 1920, 

 when the government ruled against the statistical department. 



At Owensboro, Ky., O. O. Tlchenor and J. W. Mobberly have purchased 

 the interests of the late J. N. Grady in the Owensboro Planing Mill Co,, 

 and have become president and secretary-treasurer of the company, respec- 

 tively. La Vega Clonionts is vice-president. 



Several developments of hardwood tracts arc reported in Eastern Ken- 

 tucky, Jesse Worthlngton and associates having purchased hardwood 

 timber on Lotts Creek In Letcher County, with plans for early installation 

 of mills. J. T. Whitaker and others have secured timber in Letcher County, 

 near Blackcy, and will install operations at once. Ira B. Hill and J, T. 

 Hill, Coeburn, Va., have secured 1,000 acres of hardwood on the Cumber- 

 land and Pound Creek headwaters on the Virginia-Kentucky border and 

 will start operations shortly. 



William A. MacLean, of the Wood-Mosaic Co., and members (►f his fam- 

 ily, are planning to leave shortly for a European trip, spending a few 

 weeks on combined business and pleasure. Mr. MacLean's son, Angus 

 MacLean, is a student at Oxford. 



A. E. Norman, .Sr., of the Norman Lumber Co., has recently undergone 

 a second operation, and is reported to be getting along very nicely, with 

 prospects of an early recovery. 



The Wood-Mosaic Company, Louisville, on February 2 resumed operations 

 at its Louisville mills, which had been down for some weeks. However, 

 in resuming announcement was made that hereafter the company expects 

 nine hours of honest labor for nine hours' pay, instead of five hours' labor 

 for ten hours' pay, and the mill goes on a quality production basis, instead 

 of quantity basis. Only one side of the double band will be operated, and 

 on a capacity of about 15,000 feet a day. Instead of 18.000 feet. President 

 MacLean holds that the time is past when it Is a question of quantity 

 rather than quality, and that his mill is going to produce quality lumber at 

 the sacrifice of quantity, and get back to the pre-war standard, which was 

 generally sacrificed during the period when labor was hard to handle, and 

 when demand was for quantity rather than quality. 



The W. M. Ritter Lumber Company of Columbus, O., is reported to have 

 arranged to install mills and start operations on a large timber tract on 

 the Kentucky-Virginia border In the neighborhood of Osborn's Gap, where 

 the company has several thousand acres of timber, principally poplar 

 and oak.

 of filling orders on hand and then converting It into a toy factory.
