SALE OF SOFTWOODS
BELOW PRODUCTION
American Lumberman Reports
Business of Mills on Scale
Noted Last Year.

Demand for softwoods is normally
below production at this season, and
the mills are selling as large pro-
portion of their cut as they did last
fall. the American Lumberman re-
ports. Both softwood and hardwood
manufacturers. however. are dis
satisfied with present returns, as
prices have been low and have
declined further in the last few weeks
Some of the leading authorities on
building predict that the general soft
ening of prices on materials will
stimulate winter construction, point
ing especially to the decline in struc-
tural steel
But lumbermen are scarcely meeting
their costs at present, and larger vol
ume at current prices would not be
very attractive to them; the general
opinion being that there will be ex-
tensive shutdowns. In the highland
region of the inland empire and
California, and in the North and
Northeast, operations are rapidly be-
ing curtailed, as is usual at this time
of year. while rains have caused
numerous small pine mills in the
South and Southeast to bring an end
to their years operations. Small
Southern and West Coast mills have
thrown their remaining stocks on the
market, and final disposition of these
will remove a bearish influence on
quota tions.
Retailing in the South and Middle
West have found their, sales stimu-
lated by the good weather of recent
weeks, but they are disinclined to buy
more lumber than is needed to fill
orders, as inventory time is quite
close.
1t is not believed that the disas.
trous floods in New England will
create much demand for lumber while
severe weather prevents extensive out
door work. But the catastrophe in the
Northeast will help focus national
attention on river control work. for
the Central South is still suffering from
the ravages of the Mississippi. and
the rich Imperial Valley of California
is constantly menaced by the Colorado

BRICK PLANTS CLOSE.
Large Number of 1853 Reporting
Suspend for Season.

The brick industry has begun its
annual alternating process. Out of
1853 plants reporting for the past
month one-third are closed down for
the season. A slight falling off in
construction. more than weather con-
ditions, is responsible for the early
closing of many plants. a monthly
digest of the brick industry shows.
The stocks of burned brick on hand
are large. Estimating the total from
the figures given in the reports be.
low it is probable that there are a
billion burned brick on the yards of
the plants at the beginning of No
vember. Orders on the books are
not unsatisfactory, although slightly
below the mark of September ].
In some of the larger building GEN.
tersthere is already a pickup in the
volume of construction since the Sep
tember slump. This is notable in

October show a considerable increa Sc

The Transformation of Library
BY GENEVIENE HENDRICKS.

A reader who does us the honor
of reading this column faithfully.
begs me to help her make something
out of her library which she claims
now is Impossible. She says she
has done all she can do and that it is
the most unattractive and most un-
comfortable room in her house. SO
this is what l would do if | were
she.
Her library is IA long, narrow room
lighted by broad window at one end.
Several doors cut into the wall space
and add to her problem. All of the
furniture is placed along one wall
with the exception of the book shelves
which occupy almost the entire length
of the opposite wall. @The walls are
papered in a tan-colored paper and
the woodwork is brown. Three small
Oriental rugs are thrown on the floor
in diagonal lines which bear no re-
lation to the architectural outlines of
the room.
The Chief Problem.
To her the chief problem seems to
be that she cannot find space in her
room for a small sofa. Also she
wishes another comfortable chair but
sh feels there is no room for it, Her
library table Is too small to hold her
magazines and lamp and she can not
figure out where she might put
larger one. Also the only spot she
has found for her radio is most in
convenient.
What to do to make this room coy
and inviting as well as comfortable?
She complains bitterly about it, say
ing that as it is, there is no light for
reading. that you have to carry your
book way across the room to put
It on the table. that the radio is not
accessible, and that the room is other
wise beyond the pale.
Now to make the room assume an
entirely different aspect. Surely, the
most important thing to do is to re-
locate the furniture and plan for the
sofa. Why not place the sofa parallel
to the window and facing into the
room? This viii allow light from the
window to food the lounger's page.
Back of the sofa and underneath the
window is a rather broad radiator.
Let us build in a simple shelf extend
ing the width of the window and com
ing out TO the back of the sofa. This

ADVERTISING CREDITED

Campaigns Cited as Large Factor
in Vast Promotion of
Ownership.

Probably very small number OF
householders realize to the full just
what have been the results, as affects
home ownership, of the great adver-
tising campaigns of the large ma
terial concerns during the last 10
years. We accept as fact that the
general level of architectural taste is
improving, and that construction is
being bettered all along the line. but
that the underlying cause is largely
tn result of advertising is less gem
orally known.
t"he sincerity of the type Of adver-
tising which seeks to raise home
ownership cannot be disputed, for the
simple reason that the manufacturer s
aims and that of the home owner are
the same. Both may disagree with

MARKET
VEAKENS some
in PAST week
BY CHARLES F. WILLIS
Editor The Mining Journal

All of the metals have weakened
a little during the past week as
a. reaction to the recent advance and
the prices quoted are nominal, not
much metal changing hands. Copper
has dropped to 13 1-8, lead to $50
and zinc to 6.25, the prices last week
being 13 Ia, CTS and 6.40 respec-
lively. In copper the larger producers
are out of the market and are offer
ing no metal at the present price.
There is always a certain amount
OF cheap copper, i. e., second hand
and custom smelter offerings and
these constituted the bulk of the re-
cent transactions at the lower price
and the large tonnage was sold while
the market was Is Ia to 3-8.
There is now some measure of
the actual curtailment of copper and
the net results shows that produc-
ton is about Is per cent off what
is was six months ago. This should
be ample to assure considerable
reduction i'll the surplus unless there
should be an unforeseen falling off

It seems as though the talk re-
garding copper has been to curtail
for several years and one would get
the impression that the industry was
frequently cutting down and that

Mrs Washington Mclean and
children, Marian and John, left Fri
day morning for Los Angeles where
they expect to remain for a month or
more visiting with her parents, Mr..
and Mrs. Monlux. Mr. Mclean ac-
companied them as far as Douglas, re-
turning to Nacozari on Saturday Mr..
Mclean reports that hay fever condi-
tions along the line are particularly
aggravating at this season of the year.
DR.. Edgar and family have returned
from California, completing the round
trip in their Studebaker car. They
are not enthusiastic about this method
of travel over SO long distance.
An examination of an important
mining prospect south of Nacozari
brought Mr. Beachamp, of Douglas,
into town last week. The examination
will take several days to complete.
Mr. Wolfe, of Nacozari, made a
business trip to Douglas last WeeR.
The local baseball fans are looking
forward to the promised return games
with the smelter team from Douglas.
The local team was unfortunate in it's
recent meetings in Douglas and in
Aqua Priet9 and would like very much
to have an opportunity to even the
score by playing against them on their
home grounds.
Recent ball games between Pilares
and Nacozari have proved to be highly
exciting. Both teams have won two
games each. The fifth game which
was played recently has been declared
a tie, but the impression still remains
that the Nacozari team won the game.
The excitement was SO intense that the
fans failed to note the approach of a
heavy thunder storm that fell with
such rapidity that very few were en-
abled to get under cover. The storm
fell during the eighth lining and was
of such intensity that the umpire,
Frank F'reyer, had OF call the game.
The arguments as to who won the
game are being daily settled by the

it must now be cut to almost nothing.
This is not true for the reason that
as quickly as a cut is made, produc-
ton gradually creeps up again until
it is as much or more than previously.
The world copper production for the
first seven months of this year was
975,30O tons as against 952,849 tons
for the same period last year and
each year has seen similar increase
since the war.
The production of countries furnish
ing SO per cent of eSworld's, total
was 1885 tons in July against
134,243 tons in June and 1914 tons
in May, but the monthly average
this year is quite bit ahead of the
same period in 1926 and 1925, or
136,332 tons against 133,375 tons and
128,E06 tons respectively.
While consumption has increased
consistently, productions has increased
faster and, while production was MAX
ing q per cent increase consunp-
ton was making but per cent,
hence the relative position was
getting worse. The thing that the
copper industry needs is not exactly
curtailnent but to avoid increasing
SO rapidly. The present Is per cent
curtailment policy is ample to take
care of the situation even though
some of the producers slip a little
and bring up their part sof it.
The situation regarding copper irl
Europe has been disturbed by the
large stocks of copper existing in
British warehouses. An organization
like the Copper Exporters cannot
function well until it is undisturbed
by the competitions of surplus stocks
and great progress has been made
during the past year in getting rid

Lead was down for several days
before the A. S. and R. changed their
contract price to 6y60 Considerable
metal was offered below the contract
price and as low as 630 The market
has been very quiet and with no
great interest in the future. Zinc
also is quiet and without interest
at the present time. The tendency
on zinc is to increase production,
particularly in the Joplin district
and the lack of interest may be due
to watching to see what is going
to happen on production.
Lead has been the metal that has
advanced enormously in world pro-
duction. In 1926 the world produced
1,758,558 tons and for the past con-
