Heavy Rains Hinder Lumber Output in the South
In its weekly lumber trade review the Southern pine and hardwood sectors are hit by prolonged rains cutting production and shipping. Flooded woods suspend logging, mills face scarce stock, and hardwood output remains largely stopped in Memphis district, Arkansas, and parts of Louisiana. Demand for softwood weakens slightly due to labor troubles while mixed car purchases grow harder and prices rise on limited stock. Southern mills still push higher prices on No. 1 common and better grades amid anticipated demand recovery.
