=•< MEMPHIS >.= 



Owing to the furtlier expnnsion iii demand for hardwood luml)cr here 

 and elsewhere In this territory, jiroductlon is beini; etendily Increased 

 and Is now assuming quite handsome proportions. Shipments are becom- 

 ing larger daily, and, owing to the heavy inroads being made on stocks, 

 manufacturers arc finding It necessary to replenish their holdings Id a 

 quite substantial way. More mills arc resuming each week and there 

 is also a tendency toward Increased hours where operations are already 

 under way. Many of the smaller mills which suspended operations 

 practically In toto during the preceding fourteen months are already 

 starting up or are making their plans to this end. They arc finding 

 it eosy enough to contract for their entire output, vi'blcb is only another 

 way of saying that there is no dllllcjlty about financing their operations 

 once more. It Is therefore no exaggeration to say that hardwood produc- 

 tion Is much larger now than at ony time since the war broke out and 

 that It is now nearly. If not quite, normal. 



Meantime logging operations are being pushed in a vigorous manner. 

 Heavy rains appeared throughout this section at the end of the past 

 week, but. taken as a whole, the weather since the middle of .September 

 has been practically Ideal for cutting and hauling, with the result that 

 substantial progress Ls recorded In preparing adequate supplies of timber, 

 not only for Immedalte use, but also against later needs. The log loaders 

 are quite busy, and, with the cotton crop nearly gathered, there Is 

 plenty of labor not only for work In the woods but also in the mills 

 themselves. The Valley Log Loading Company Is now handling more 

 timber than at any time since the war broke out and Indications arc 

 that it will be quite busy for some time to come. 



It Is notable that, in addition to activity at hardwood mills proper, 

 there Is n great deal dning In woodworking lines. The box factories are 

 turning out more sawn and veneered shooks than even heretofore and 

 record deliveries arc being made by them. The manufacturers of both 

 slack and tight cooperage say that they are doing more business now 

 than for more than a year. There is an unusually active demand for 

 automobile spokes as well as other vehicle parts and some big orders have 

 recently been booked for red oak crosstles. Boat oars are also In active 

 request and veneers, both plain and three-ply, are moving with consider- 

 able freedom and at advancing prices. Oak flooring is also in good 

 request and the output of this is being steadily increased. In fact, there 

 is scarcely a hardwood lumber product which Is not gaining ground in 

 both volume nnd in prices nnd this accounts for the Increasing optimism 

 in hardwood circles. 



In hardwoods themselves, there is a good call for the lower grades 

 of Cottonwood and gum used In box manufacture. OITcrlngs in the open 

 market are not heavy and these are being absorbed at Increasing prices. 

 There is also a good demand for the higher grades of gum, both red and 

 sap. Cottonwood in the higher grades Is In perhaps a little more active 

 request. Ash is In good call in all grades, but the best demand is for 

 dimension stock. Oak is moving well In the higher grades of both plain
