SAWMILLING INDUSTRY.
SLUMP IN SOUTHLAND. AN EXTENDED HOLIDAY. [BY TELEGRAPH.—PRESS ASSOCIATION.] INVERCARGILL, Wednesday. Prominent sawmill owners of Southland state that there is a severe slump in.the industry. The demand for timber is not' sufficient to keep the mills going, as is apparent from the fact that a few have closed down, while others have been working four and five days a week. These circumstances have induced the owners to decide to close down for an extra week during the holidays. It is some years since the trade has been so slack as at present. The condi tions are said to be largely due to the importing of foreign timbers.
