Ltd. brought net earn-. ings for the nine months to $63.7 million or‘$7.66 a share. Sales increased to $493 million from $457 million last year, | Sales for the third quar- ter were $174 million with -net earnings of $9.7 million or $1.15 a. share, compared with $163 million in sales and earnings of $14.1 million or $1.70 a share for the same period in 1979. Crown Zellerbach said during the quarter the com- ~ pany's wood products oper- ations continued to suffer the negative effects of the severe lustry.> The company said, in: creased woodchip costs, with- out offsetting product price increases, were ‘the major factor in reducing earnings © from.pulp and paper.” © Earnings from the com- pany's corrugated and con- verted paper products‘ oper- ations were below 1979 lev- els, due to decreased demand for corrugated containers caused by labor disputes in the Alberta and B.C. brew- ery industries and the poor season’ experienced by the B.C. fishing industry. However, Crown Zeller- bach said the strong. per- formance by the paper dis- tribution business allowed its merchandising and plastics group to show a gain ‘in earnings from last year. . The company said the outlook for the final quarter of 1980 remains unfavorable, While the demand for news- ~ print should remain firm; it said, world pulp demand is. not expected to improve.
