MILL TO RUN
(Continued From Page One).;:
The decision to resume operations
to this extent was not prompted by
any Improvement In business. ; nor
tho prospect of a better demand for
lumber within the near future,- but
because our stock of lumber Is. be
coming low and tho ' assortment
broken. Buying Is largely of badly
mixed cars and a complete assort
ment is necessary to supply eved tho
limited demands of our trade. .;
Further, we pre anxious to give
some employment to the men 'that
have depended largely upon our oper
aliens for a llvellhod and to keep
together the nucleus of an organiza
tion. : Present prices will not give us any
return for stumpage or plant deple- !
Hon, In. fact probably less than our 1
actual cash outlay for logging and
manufacturing costs, but Idleness Is
also expensive and the depreciation
of ah Idle plant ts rapid and we have
chosen this course as the best of the
two bad ones open, to us. As to how
long we can continue to operate de
ponds on our ability to sell lumber
at about the rate of our production,
as we cannot afford to tie up a large,
amount of money In Inventories. ;
Tho payroll resulting from these
operations will bo approximately
$13,000 per month. - .

BOSTON, Apr. 30 (VP) Extreme
dullness of the - wool - martcet con
tinued without Interruption the last
week. The few sales reported were
small and had . little significance, as
an Indication of a real change in
the trend. . Purchases were for Im
mediate needs of milts that had or
ders to complete, or for testing new
wools that recently arrived on- the
market. Some encouragement, how
ever, was received from, users of wool
and this tended to create a slightly
more cheerful sentiment In the mar
