of third-quarter results, said that the company's pulp opera tions had been at a standstill’ throughout virtually the entire quarter due to the industry: wide strike of pulp workers.

Turning to lumber, he said that there were virtually no sales of lumber during the third quarter and that little improve- ment from the current de- pressed markets was antici- pated until the second quarter of 1976.

The CanCel president said that fourth-quarter results would continue to be adversely affected by weak markets, the continuance of the strike into October and start-up problems, which usually occur after a long shutdown.

Ina summary of results for the first nine months of the year, ‘he reported earnings before the tax credit of $14 millon or $1.14) per share on sales of $125.2: million, Net earnings after-the tax’ credit
