Mills Take Breather From Low Prices

Anemic lumber prices during the summer have contributed to a rash oftemporary closures and shift reductions at westem mills, accordingto Random Lengths.

The pricing guide reported that:

. Prairie Wood Products, Prairie City, Or., and Wallowa Forest Products, Wallowa, Or., curtailed production for at least two weeks, effective August 21.

. Hampton Lumber cut production by l0-157o at its large- and small-log operations in Willamina, Or., and reduced operating hours by 207o to 40 per shift at its Cowlitz Stud Division in Randle, Wa., starting August 4.

. Riley Creek halved production at its stud mill in Moyie Springs, Id., for at least two months, beginning July 24.

. Lewis County Forest Products, Winlock, Wa., scaled back production to a single shift as of August 2l and, after exhausting its log supply, planned to shut down for at least 30 days. The producer cited market conditions, but will use the downtime to upgrade machinery.

. Seneca Sawmill Co., Eugene, Or., idled its stud mill, dimension mill, and planers for a week at the end of August to perform maintenance work and install new equipment.

Summer cutbacks seemed even more previlent in the South, with Random Lengths reporting reductions in August and late July by Hood Industries in Coushatta,La., and Metcalfe, Ga.; Shuqualak Lumber, Shuqualak, Ms.; Griffin Lumber Co., Cordele, Ga.; Varn Wood Products, Hoboken, Ga.; Boise, Jackson, Al.; Chesterfield Lumber Co., Darlington, S.C.; Curt Bean Lumber, Glenwood, Ar.; Potlatch, Prescott and Warren, Ar.; Hankins Lumber Co., Grenada.
