DEMAND FOR sAWMILLs.
PHILIPPINES Also Need Logging
Machinery and Supplies,

The increasing demand for lumber in
the Philippines has caused a number of
new lumber companies to be formed,
and some OF the existing mills (ranging
in capacity from 1000 to 10000 board
feet a day. are planning extensions TO
their plants.
The output of the ten largest mills
rose from 10000 board feet in 1915
to $4,000, 900 in 1917. and $4,000, 600 in
1918. while the sales for 1919 were g.
100. 900 board feet more than the cores
ponding period OF 1918.
Some of the higher grades OF certain
woods are finding use in the United
States and other countries for furniture
interior finish, and Reroplane propellers.
Owing to the shortage Of tonnage, most
OF the output was consumed locally,
but the Chinese markets, which have
been short of lumber are buying, SO
that more capital is being attracted into
the industry. and there is a demand for
logging and sawmlll machinery, aces
sories, and supplies
