that the orders received by thepi this week were not as numerous as
those coming to hand during the ¡previous Week. However, thev do not .
look upon this particularly as a bad Ofnen, but «ttfl pTofess tó believe
that things have táken a decided change for tMSetter. A favorable
ffeature of the situation is that the orders bcih^t^fred now are booked
at prices that are hearer the. list than has been the case at any time
since-shortly after the last list was "adopted. As staged previously in
this column, manufacturers have been' gradually reducing their dis- :
counts, not arbitrarily, but as conditions became favorable and .jhey •
have felt no appreciable decrease in business as a result of this increase

ing strictly to the list, on account of stocks being short on these items.
Stocks on some of the mill yards are pretty badly, broken, a number of
items being very scarce, indeed, and the mills will hardlv have an op-
portunity to replenish their stocks to any great extent during the bal- N
ance of this year. , ' .
Encouraging reports come from the agricultural sections as to the
probable outcome of the harvest and dealeraJnJTexas are feeling more
encouraged than they have at any time .within the past eighteen months.,
This feeling is shown in the manner in which they are now beginning
to urge upon manufacturers, the necessity of rushing out shipments—-
and the manufacturers are doing all in their power to supply them, too.
One dealer writing to a manufacturer here one day this week, urges him
to rush out the material called tot in his orders, "for," he says, "it„
makes a man feel mighty bad to have a chance 4t last to do some busi- ~
ness and not have the stock on the yard with which to supply the wants
of his customers." He was assured by the mill man that he should have"
his stuff promptly and the matter was taken up personally by the man-
ager, with the result that the lumber was on its Way to the dealer in I
short order. This same prompt attention is given to the commands of. I
their customers by all of the mills at.Órange and it w this that helps \
them do huóiwss all the time, whether conditions generally be good or

The railroads are still studiously avoiding the placing of any large
orders for material and shipments of ties and timbers, usually so prom-
inent in every train going from the mills in this section* are becoming
woefully scarce. Of course, the roads are using a great many ties in
keeping up théir roadbeds, but purchasing agents spend more time vis-
iting the jeri<water.mills and buying sap ties at a ridiculously low price
than they do in figuring with the big long leaf mills,that require a rea-
sonable price, with some tpargiii of profit, on the material that goes out
from their plants. The manufacturers at Orange, however, believe that
business in this line will begin to regain its former proportions later in
the year, and more especially after the presidential election is over and
the Jabor troubles all over the country have found a peaceful settlement.
Manufacturers along the coást anticipate that a goodly share of the

tion. Indeed, some of the manufacturers at Orange have already been
figuring on some nice schedules for Panama and the business has not
yet begun to assume proportions. The building of the Panama canal
and the consequent large consumption of yellow pine lumber should
have a very beneficial effect upon the lumber situation in this country,

on the other side. Conditions are not at all encouraging across the ponct
and exporters on this side are far^rom feeling optimistic as to the-out-
look for business at any time in/the near future. The market was be-
ginning to show some life a snort time since, bút lárge consignment

Notwithstanding the very heavy rains that have fanert iti this sec-
tion, the uppér Sabine river still remains at a very low stage of wata
and timbermen have been unable for several weeks to run logs. Th
haVe been no arrivals of logs this week jErom up-river camps, but
large amount of timber in the storage booms of the various mills assu
them of an ample supply for months to come, even with no new arrivals.
Speaking of the lumber tráde in general the other day, a manufac-
turer <vho has been in the business until his hair has' become sf
with gray, stated that a young man with a little money to inyes
do no belter now than to put it in pine lands.,and hold bn to them fo
few vears. This sort of investment promises surer, safer and larger
tiirn^ than almost anything eke. A« an instance, he cited that wh
pine lumber today was selling for $80 per thousand, owing to the sea
