The lumber movement shows fur- ther recessions for the week ending May 26, says the weekly review of the National Lumber Manufacturers’ Association, although incomplete re- ports make the decline appear to be more than it actually is—there being only 388 mills represented. as com- pared with 420 in the preceding week. ! The reporting mills as a whole gave { their shipments per cent, and | their new business as 76 per cent of | current production. For the southern | pine mills alone these percentages w respectively, 107 and 74 per {cent, and for the west coast mills, 94 jand 83. Of the reporting mills 357 | have a normal production figure for | the week, in relation to which actual | production was 104, shipments 101 iand new business 80 per cent.
