PRODUCTION AND SHIPMENTS.

The last weekly letter on production and shipment was sent out by the News-Print Manufacturers Association on October 7th.

The report from the Western Territory for the week ending October 7th shows production equivalent to 107.1%, and shipments equivalent to 103.8% of maximum production capacity.

The report from the Canadian Territory for the same week shows production equivalent to 100.1%, and shipments equivalent to 97.2% of maximum productive capacity.

A number of the mills have been running on other grades of papers, and in the case of one large Canadian mill, low water has caused low production.

There has been an increase in inventory during the week in question of 476 cents. It will, of course, be understood that this increase is not surprising, as it is impossible to maintain inventories at the same low figures reported last week.
