The box factories at MeniphU are ilolnK a larse bUKlnenx. The ile- 

 mand 1« particularly keen for both sawn anil veneered lihookK. and price* 

 are measurably better than a shitrt time aRo. Most of the old contracts 

 hookeil last year have been fllb-d and, where new contracta are hclOK 

 accepted, they are taken only at nn appreciable advance. Shipments of 

 slimiks have been heavier during the past nu»nth than fr>r any similar 

 period since long before the war In ICurope broke out. anil one Arm Is 

 probably iloluK more business than It ever did before. The demand Is 

 good for egg cases and large deliveries of these will be made within the 

 next sixty to ninety days. There is also an excellent call for prac- 

 tically every form of standard package. Including those made of veneer 

 as well as sawn sbooks. The advance in veneers has perhaps been 

 somewhat greater than In the case of sawn shooka. For a long while 

 last season members of the trade here jccepted orders for veneer pack- 

 ages at very low rates, practically swapping dollars thereon. Now. bow- 

 ever, they are able to sell all tbey can manufacture, ami they ore doing 

 this on a basis which affords n reasonable margin of profit. Indications 

 are. according to some of tliose engaged in this particular line, that there 

 will be a continuance of active business well through the summer. There 

 are enough orders In sight now to Justify this view and preparations are 

 being made to run on full time wherever possible. 



The Anderson-Tully Company here has had to close down Its box fac- 

 tory at Vlcksburg, Miss., on account of high water, hut the foreman of 

 the Vlcksburg plant has been brouglit to .Memphis, where he Is running 

 the local box factory at night In order to tjikc care of the orders belong- 

 ing properly to Vlcksburg. These arrangements will probably continue for 

 some time, as it will be some days before It will be possible to resume 

 operations at Vlcksburg. where the water Is still exceptionally high. The 

 plant of Moore & Mcl'errln In North Memphis, which has been out of 

 commission for several days on account of high water, will be able to 

 resume shortly, as the river Is falling here at a reasonably rapid rate. 

 Indications are that the Morgan Veneer Company at Pine Bluff. Ark., 

 which was forced to close down on account of Inability to bring out gum 

 logs will also shortly be able to resume operations. There are some other 

 box plants In this Immediate section which have been Interfered with 

 either directly or Indirectly by the high water, hut It Is anticipated that 

 within the next fortnight praclcally all of them will be able to resume. 



Good progress Is reported on the plant of the Henry W. Maley Lumber 

 Company at Jackson. Miss., which hos been removed from Yazoo City. 

 The machinery was brought from Yazoo City to Jackson, but it was neces- 

 sary to erect the necessary hulbllnps. This Is the work to which refer- 

 ence Is made. It is expected that this plant will bo ready for operation 

 within the next thirty to sixty days.

Timber buyers have been uniiMially busy In this state during tliu pa^t 

 ' vv months, looking for walnut logs, to be sold, in southern markets and 

 III be Inter shipped to warring nations in Europe In the form of gunstocks. 

 This activity Is specially noticed In the vicinity of Gravette. 



The lumber and stave manufacturing plants at Hamburg. Ark., are 

 VI ry active now, many large orders having recently been booked. The 

 Ininbip stave mill hos shipped a number of orders of turpentine and oil 

 hairil staves to Florida and Illinois. The J. L. Durham mills arc 

 shipping larsc quantities of flooring to Oklahoma and Kansas. 



The Ham-Ash-.\rk Lumber Company Is preparing large shipments of 

 dressed stuff to Chicago. It hns recently installed a planing mill and
