The demand iJrom. Texas points for lumber is as great ibis
•weeSJas it was Cat last 'report and mnch better than it was six
weeks ago. Thejsouthern part of the state has Jbeen buying in
limited quantities all the JpaSt 'summer and well along into the
fail, but within the*!past thirty days buyers have been in the
market from every section ot the state and it is difficult to say
just where the strcfngestrtteflland is originating. There is a big
demand for house building lumber and the fact that every dea\*
er wbo sends in an orderjrequests quick delivery would indicate
that the lumber is going Into immediate consumption and is
not being bought for stock. The decline in cotton has not as*,
yet affected the demand for lumber, though it may do so atány
time. -
Shipments of lumber this month are running above the
average so tar and have exceeded largely the shipments for
last month to this time. This applies particularly to süipmetíts
by rail. Water shipments, have been smaller so far this month,
but if vessels that are . fixed for December loading report in
time to get their cargoes this month the total tor December
,will be even larger than that of the previous month.
r—i The demand for lumber from the northwest is beginning to
slack off considerably, principally on account oí the extremely
cold weather prevailing in that sectión. Manufacturers antici-
pate this decrease in demand from that section at this time of
tF¿ year, as ábout the only work of any consequence that can
be carried on is inside. Prom the northwest there is a good
demand for shop lumber and some of the mills are enjoying a
nice trade in this line.
The mills in this section are winding up the year with the
smallest stocks they have carried for a numbef of years. As-
sortments are badly broken and sales managers are taking
orders only for what they can deliver, either from their own or
nearby mills.
Some nice inquiries have been (received from North Atlantic
coast points, but as the mills here, are not situatedjust now so
that they can undertake any more schedules with special and
difftcult specifications, these inquiries were passed up. Some
business.Jtor that section previously booked will go out this
month, a cargo for Philadelphia being partially on lighters
now awaiting the vessel's arrival at Sabine Pass that is to take
it out.
No foreign schedules of any consequence have been booked
here this week, though a few ¡parcel shipments have gone out
thatjwill be sent to European iports On vessels loading at Port
Arthur atid at Galveston. 1
There have beerfño rains of any consequence along the up-
per ¿abine yet, and mills are still struggling along with salt
water in their boiler's, thereby materially reducing their daily
output. This question of salt. water [is of more importance to
them than the question of getting a new supply,of timber and
they will welcome the rains |nd high ¡water more from that.
causé than from the fact that it Will also bring out several
millions of feet of logs.

W. J. Sanders, manager of the Sanders Trotti Tram compa-
ny, of Fields, La;, was in Orange last Tuesday and pürchased
the tug boat George Sealy, to be used in towing logs to the
booms of the Lutcher & Mogre'Lumber company. The tug Nel-
lie has been used for this business heretofore, but the work has
become to heavy tor her and a larger boat is necessary. Track
laying on the new tram road of the Lutcher & Moore Lumber
company is progressing rapidly and Mr. Sanders 'hopes within
thirty days more to be dumping logs into the river from both'
the "old and the ne w , teams. ~
The Lutcher & Mpore Lumber company's schooner Marthat
in charge of Captain G. P. Dujay, reached Sabine Pass the lat-
ter part of last week from a Mexican port, bringing a cargo of
Mexican produce and will takeout another cargo of lumber.
Captain Dujay will take out with bim on this trip three drilling
rigs which will be set up near Laguna, Mexico to develop the
oil find made by the captain styne time ago in that section.
Captain Dujay and his associates have leased an imtnentee body
of land in Mexico and feel very sanguine ot finding oil there. .
' The report in the papers onej$|ji ,Jhis week that-Judge
Bryant4iad issued an order for the sale of the Kirby Lumber
company's Bancroft mill plant at Orange to satisfy -a judgment
of something Oyer $25,000 aroused 'considerable interest here.
The Leader learns from the highest authority, however, that
the property will^not be sold. The receivers have money on
batid with which to take up the claim, out this order of the
court was necessary so-as to get the claim in shape for them to
take it up. ' « . . .
W. H. Stark,.secretary treasurer and general manager
the Lutcher & Moore Lumber company, returned first of
week frpm New York, where with L. ;Miller, president of the
Orange & Northwestern railroad, he hatybeen on business con-
nected with that road. After spending a couple ot days at home
Mr. Stark left again ior the east,on the same business.
C. B. Wilcox, formerly head inspector for F. E. H. N^
combe, has embarked in the lumber exporting business on
own account and spent the day in Orange last Tuesday
viewing the inanufacturers with a vieWto picking up some
gáins. The foreign Correspondent of Mr. Wilcox has an
and yard at Rotterdam.
