The very fact that in large scopes of
territory in the Northwest, the people
are planting trees to obtain a supply of
timber, is sufficient evidence of its scar
city, and its value, and the necessity Of
its preservation in that more highly ia.
vored region where it yet abounds A
contemporary gives some valuable sta
tistics on this subject. "In Liverpool
the best white oak is worth about seven
ty-one cents cubic foot Fancy ok,
in billets suitable for wainscot, is worth
much more. Good black walnut, of
suitable sizes, is worth eighty -five cents
cubic foot. In January last, one
hundred and forty-four logs from New
Orleans sold in Liverpool at an average
of 81 o. cubic foot, American curren-
cy. Fancy walnut, suitable for veneer
ing, sells for much larger price. Ash
is in moderate demand, but touch or
finely grained wood is always salable. 1t
is worth on an average about sixty cents
a cubic foot. Fine ash for furniture,
waInscot, or parquetry floors commands
much higher figures. Birds eye maple,
such as shipped from New York, sells
at all average of 50 o. a cubic foot, in
American currency. Hickory, if square
about twelve inches and upwards, is
worth for good quality, about % cents a
cubic foot; extra touch for handles,
spokes, etc, is of course worth more.
One man writes: Il believe a satisfacto-
ry market for hickory can be had in this
country. | visited spoke and handle
factory in Pennsylvania, where the hick-
DRY purchased in the Shenandoah Valley,
Virginia, was costing $40 80 a cord"
The people of South Mississippi are
especially interested in the lumber trade
The Pascagoula and other rivers furnis h
outlets for large shipments of timber 10
the Central American and Northern mar
kets Of the United States. And the de-
mand will necessarily increase as tie
supply elsewhere becomes exhausted.
Considerable quantities of the best build
ing material in the world have been
shipped to the Western cities from South
Mississippi by railroad. There are i'm
mense pine forests in that section, which
are not available for marketable pun
poses for the want Of transportation. 1t
is strange but nevertheless true that a
large part Of the material which our
home mechanics and manufacturers have
consumed, has been imported from
Northern and Western States, while we
have at our doors the very best timber
in the world for the manufacture Cf
wagons, axe and hoe handles, carriages,
furniture, agricultural implements and
the like. We are glad to learn that the
lessees of the Mississippi Penitentiary
are getting out their supplies of timber
from the raw material of which there is
an abundance here at our own doors.
The effect will be to keep the money
which would otherwise be expended for
the purchase of material abroad, in cir
cuIation at home; and to develop re-
sources WHICH OR own State possesses to
an almost unlimited extent.
Pertinent to the timber supply resources
of our Sea-Coast region, is the following
article from the Pascagoula Star, which
will give the reader some idea of their
extent and value:
