The National Lumber Manufac- turers’ Association interprets reports recelved by telegraph today from 440 of the leading lumber mills of the country as indicating a slight gain over the previous week for softwood == production and shipments, with the order file about the same.

The Mississippt Valley floods con- tinue to curtail hardwood production, but have had the effect of stimulating shipments and new business, as com- pared with last year. For the 72 West Coast mills the un- ders were 309,431,660 feet, as . “Altogether the 200 comparably reporting softwood mills had shipments 104 per cent, and or ders 104 per cent of actual produc =95 Not a “‘Stage Setting from Carmen” But a Beautiful, Modern Quality Home Built for YOU!
