The weste.rn lumber industry operated at 94.50/o of its practical capacity during the month of November, according to the lastest figures, reports Western Wood Products Assn.

"Although it was a drop of 2.8olr from October, this is good news. Typically, there is a substantial drop-off during November," commented Fred Reseburg, WWPA's director of economic services.

The average production for the western lumber industry in November 1972-1977 was 7.lolo below November 1978.

During the first I I months of 1978, the industry has operated at 93.60/o capacity. For the same period a year ago, practical capacity was 93.70/o.
