Work On Coast Still Holds
Up; Falling Off Noted In
Some Parts; Men Hold Jobs
PORTLAND. Nearly all employment centers on the
west coast last week reported a noticeable decrease in
the volume of labor turnover, according to the -1L em
ployment letter issued here today. Fir logging ami
lumbering continue very active, the letter said, but there
has been a slight let-up in building an dconstruction in
dustries which will be further reduced with the first
heavy rains. This work has been held up remarkably
well this year.
The lessening of industrial activity in the Inland Em
pire districts where sawmill and planer crews are being
reduced, is daily becoming more marked, the letter
stated. Reports' from the various 4L offices were as
follows:

Softwood Demand Les
sened, Is Chicago
Report
Demand for softwoods Is ex
periencing a rather marked sea
sonal recession and business ls not
measuring up to expectations, says
the American Lumberman, Chicago.
Total bookings of 301 of the princi
pal mills for the week to Septem
ber 12 were bD per cent and ship
ments 91 per- cent of the actual
cut, which was 4 per cent above
normal. Building holds up well,
but the city yards are buying con
servatively because of the strong
' position of the market. The con
I tinued call for mixed cars, however,
j Indicates that their stocks are low
and that they arc not making any
significant addition to their hold-
Ings. Inquiry from the Middle West
I where trade was light during the
I dry weather, has increased since the
recent heavy rains and improved
' demand from the country yards Is
i expected to develop before the end
i of September.
The Southern pine mills are book-
lng a good volume of business in
I the East and South, although the
railroad embargo has been a deter
rent factor in the Florida trade.
I Orders for the week were less
' than 1 per cent below production,
but shipments ran 1 per cent above
It, so that stocks have suffered fur
I ther depletion. Trices are firm,
with uppers showing a tendency V
! advance. Export trade to the Mld-
i die West has contracted conslderal ly
j because the rail mills have been
unable to handle the continued call
for mixed cars with stocks in their
present depleted condition. Orders
for the week were 85 per cent, and
i shipm"nts 93 per cent of the total
I cut. California demand is good,
but the Atlantic coast trade Is light.
Uppers are firm and commons are
well held.
