The Lumber RusinesS.

About the first of the present month,
in pursuant to a call issued by a meet
ing of the Chicago lumber dealers about
200O the representatives of the lum-
ber interests from all sections of the
north and west, met in Chicago to con-
slider the present condition of the lum-
ber trade, and what course should be
pursued to render the future more GER
tain. The meeting was organized by
Thaddeus Dean Of Chicago being elect
ed to preside. In taking the chair he
referred to the general objects of the
meeting and the extent of the lumber
business there, which represented some
$4OOOOOO0 or $5OOOOOOO capital. 1t had
been and was the desire to conduct the
business with more judgment and in a
more systemati c method. Price lists
had been adopted, and had become more
and more respected among the trade.
To-day, as result of this system of
working in harmony and unison, there
was little money in the business, and
they hoped to keep it there if possible
In order to do this, they needed the CO.
operation of the lumber dealers through
out the West. One object of the meet
was to determine what lumber was
worth. If lumber beyond the Missis-
sippi was allowed to remain 1925 per l.
OOOless than in Chicago, rates could not be
kept up. The receipts at this point dur
ing the preceding year were 100000
600 100000 more than the usual
figures, and the probability was that 2,
0000OO,O00 feet would be needed thisEear'
The surplus 100000 feet will soon be
gone. He merely stated these figures by
way of showing the outside dealers what
Chicago would want and what she could
take care of this year.
The principal points discussed was the
prospective supply and the effect it
would have on prices. 1t was the gen.
eral impression that the demand would
be considerably in access of last or pre-
viOus seasons, but that the supply would
be equal to any emergency. There SEEM
ed to be general feeling of firmness in
regard to prices, and in favor of estab-
fishing and maintaining prices which
would give a fair margin of profit.
The committee on present and pros
pectiye demand presented the following:
"After careful consideration of the
condition of trade in three sections rep
resented by your committee, they beg to
submit the following report:
The question of demand as it appears
to your committee may be settled by a
consideration of the following subjects
1. The revival and improvement Of
the manufacturing interests of the
country.
2. The extension of railroads through
out the country and its. effect on con-
sumption.
3. immigration, as an agent in the in
crease of demand for our products.
A. The general prosperity of the cOun
! try and its effect on trade.
In the these different topics we set
abundant proofs of a largely increased
demand. both present and prospective
for our lumber, Notwithstanding an in
creased supply. All these indications

Monster Pr0pclIcrs.

The steamboat companies. as we'll as
the owners of sailing crafts, are making
preparations for big season during the
approaching season of navigation. The
regular propeller lines between Lake
Erie points and Chicago are building
five new craft of monster dimensions,
none of them being under 1900 tons car
rying capacity. Of these five the Anchor
Line builds three, the Union Line one,
and the Western Line one Two Of the
new Anchor boats are being constructed
at Bay City, of wood. They will carry
1900 tons each, and will cost $125,OOO
each. The third is iron, and is being
constructed at WyandOtte, at cost Of
$15OOOO, her carrying capacity to be a
little over 1900 tons. The Unions new
boat is to be of wood, and will carry q
200 tons. She is being built at Buffalo,
at the Union Dry Dock cOmpany's yard.
Her cost will be about $13O,OOO or $780,
600. The Westerns new craft is of iron,
and the work on her at WyandOtte is pro-
crossing rapidly. Her capacity will be
little over 1900 tons, and her cost about
$15O,OOO. Here are five craft, the aggre-
gate carrying capacity Of which will be
about 10000 tons, and the aggregate cost
of which will be about $68O,OOO.
1t is evident that the city governments
of our lake ports and the General Gov
ernment must provide deeper water for
our lake marine, and, instead of creating
Instructions Qike bridges in Detroit and
St. Clair rivers), must remove whatever
distractions at present exist.
Michigan ON the Presidential Quex-
About month ago the Detroit Even
ing News, to secure if possible an ex-
preston of the feeling of the Republican
party of the state upon the various presi-
Dental candidates, dispatched a circular
to their corps of correspondents through
out the state, instructing them to secure
from the leading Republicans of the var
iOus sections, the sentiments upon this
question. This work has been done and
the News claims with perfect impartial
ity. The responses received, cover about
seventy localities, and as tabulated shows
the four leading candidates to stand as
follows: Blaine, 1000; Grant, 827; Sher-
man, Gil; Washburn, Sc. This shows, if
it shows anything, that Mr.. Blaine is the
choice of majority of the Republicans
of the state. We are satisfied that four
years ago, Notwithstanding the fact that
the Michigan delegation in the National
Republican convention, turned their
strength for Mr.. Hayes, that Blaine was
the first choice of the main portion of
the Republicans of the state, and we
would not be at all surprised If that pref
erence still remained. The:cOrrespOnd-
ent of the News at this place reports an
interview with thirty Republicans with
the following result: Grant, IL; Blaine
13; Sherman, 6.

MCLAURIN FOR CONGRESS

In another column We publish the
announcement of Hon. A. j. Nc
Laulin, of Brandon, for Congress.
He is well known to the people of
this district and words of common
dation from us were useless praise.
During the dark and gloomy days
of Radical rule, when the State was
under the control of aliens, negroes
and home traitors; when Democrats
were forsaking the.grand old party,
that seemed dead add buried, and
joing the plunderers, A. j. Nc
Laurin stood up high, prominent
above cormorants, "like a stone
WALL" and refused to leave the ship
of his fathers, though apparently
doomed. He is and has always
been a Democrat, true, consistent,
honorable. As a lawyer, he stands
at the head of the bar in the State;
as a speaker, he is equalled by few;
as a logician, excelled by none. He
is component to fill, and worthy OF
any office in the gift of the people.
He is now the strongest man in the
race against Hooker, and if that
distinguished Representative is to
be roated ,out of office, the indica-
tions are that McLaurin will be his
successor. 4 better man for the
place could not be found in the dis
trict.
The Greenbackers tried to cap
ture McLaurin as a Congressional
candidate, but he told them that as
he did not learn to leave the Demo-
cratic party in its days of darkest
gloom, he could not do 50 now when
its fires were burning bright from
every hill top.
