HARDWOOD OUTPUT
IS CURTA|LLED
NOT MORE THAN rs PER CENT
OF NORMAL PRODUCTION IN
MEMPHIS DISTRICT,

Memphis. Tenn, Oct. 1.-THE most
significant development in the hard
wood situation in the South since the
war began in Europe has been the
vast curtailment Of output effected.
Practically all the mills in the Missis.
siRpi Valley. comprising the principal
hardwood producing territory, were ,op-
Grating on full time at the end Of
July. Since that time, manufacturing
operations have been confined practi.
cally entirely to the conversion into
lumber Of the stocks of logs already
on hand. Such progress has been
made in curtailment that conservative
hardwood lumbermen estimate that
the output in the Memphis district is
not more than rs to 30 per cent Of
normal. BY means Of curtailing out
put and virtue of ability on the part
OF the lumhermen to secure funds for
the finanrlng of their lumber, very lit.
tie stock has been forced for sale. De-
mand has not been astiyssat any time
since the war ,began.s but the ability
of lumber interests Ito Garry their
