with last year, the exports or flour show an in
crease, amounting TO S67,343 barrels, against
1907 barrels last year, 70.326 barrels
more. Our export trade, it '"ll be seen, is very
unsatisfactory, and we can look for no improve
ment In the market as long as this state of
things continues: In the exports of flour to
Great Britain, Boston still leads, the shipments
from the lat OF September having been 205, 1897
barrels from New York against 205,S23 from
Boston. Lumber dealers are still busy, this haV-
ing neen remarkably prosperous year for them.
The Lumbermen's Gazette says of this branch of
trade: The prospects for the lumber industry
at THIS time present no evil forebOdngs, and it
seems evident that barring any great financial
disaster by which business generally may be
thoroughly unsettled, the prosperity of the past
two or three years is destined TO continue. SO
long as peace continues to spread its henetcent
Wings over the country and the crops are bOun-
UNI, as they have been generally the past year,
and general prosperity covers the land with
a mantle, the lumber business may he cOusid-

Mel-hiled granaries are as certain OF forcing an
urgent demand for lumber, that day succeeds
darkness. The stream of immigration pouring
Ike an avalanche into the great Northwest ter
ritory must be sheltered, and this means an UT

OF them. The Board of Trade Price Current says
OF wheat The only change we note In local
markets is a duller feeling. The plain facts are
that no one desires to sell or buy, and the grain
rests in the elevators quietly awaiting better
times. No one wants TO handle futures at any
price. seaboard continues dull and declining
