1925 So Far Is Good
Year for Timber Sales
Reports from 3S0 of the larger
softwood mills, producing about
in percent of the national total,
show that for l'j25 to date a great-
volume of business was done
than during the corresponding pe
riod of lii24. During the week
ended May they shipped tin am
ount equal to their cut, tind had
orders for 15 percent of it. Soft
wood, however, tends no be in ov-
rsupply, und prices are generally
low and weak, though undoubtedly
they have readied the bottom of
their decline, for manufacturers
realize that to sell for less would
bo financial suicide.
