Trade in the nee belt can bardly be said to have aroused
itseli fully from the long slumber tííat it has enveloped
for the past seven or eight months. There is more lumber sell'
iog there than was going into consumption.along.^tbe coast six-
ty days ago, but not .the volume that we Would hope fcr alter
-so long a rest., Retail dealers .attribute |he slúggisti condition
ib the slump in rice. .Many of the farmers raised a big crop
last year, it sold for a good price and they owe nbthing; they
are threshing the hew crop and"storing it in Warehouses on,the
faTm where they have .room; others haul to mills and store*there
hoping that values will soon táke a |tut|ii t¿>r the better. Until
rice begins to move nyare freely,"lumber muát wait in many good
counties alone the coast.

orders are placed by wire with a request for prompt shipment
and to wire car numbers at their expense. Considerable lumber^
has been moved during the summer mouths that perhaps could'
have been held to a good advantage, but the same old story of
our "hindsight being better than oqr foresight" comes ipt¿|
play. The Texas trade is picking up, but it is not what ft
should be. The fact that lumber is being_sold too cheap is
patent to the novice, and that higher .values are going to pre
va*l in Texas as well is only a matter of a short timé. The de-
mand for the East is brisk and freight rated are going to let mills
in from this district. „
Parties were at Galveston this week prospecting for a line
of steamers to Colon. Of course the Incoming cargo would be
bananas, with a little coffee and a collection ot monkeys and
parots as side lines each sailing. Outbouqd steamers would ex-
pect to ldad chiefly with provisions, feed and ¡cotton goods for
laborers. In every steamerfgoing there would be more or less
space; and if this part of the country could once get in touch
with|purchasing agents in thfe employ of the commission stand'
ing orders could be flíed so that every vessel would be assured
of a full return cargo. Mobile and New Orleans have regular
sailings; and steamers belonging to the United ifruit Company
the same freight thatj] schooners charge, which advantage en-
business, as steamers make the run down to Unloading groilnds
in six daysjwhile a schooner often consumes a month in getting
there, due to trade'iwinds blowing north.
For more than a month a crew of men have befen booming
water hyacinths and as fast as they were gatbeie<l up a tug \
hauled them into the bend below the cutoff and closed then* in,
yet every day acres upon acres oMresh ones float past town;
sometimes headed up stream and again going towards th^ gulf,
but neither end of the chain of floating islands ever heaves in
sight. Boatmen repoVt them as far up the river as;r the South-
ern Páciflte railroad bridge, while the lower, end extends out
Jlhto Sabine, la¿e. ít.isi:weive miles to the bridge and twelve
miles to the mouth Of the river, with a mile thrown in for good
measure, tó say an almost continuous String of hyacinths 25
miles long.
J. W R Goins, of Rose Pine was here Monday looking for
a log contract. Be reports all streams low on the ¿Louisiana
side, the Sabine has not been so low in many years M it was
three weeks ago. Receqt rains put a two-foot rise in above
