AlhanY's Cotton Rccnints.

In last weeks Journal we sta
ted that the Albany correspond
ent Of the Macon Telegraph said
that not quite ten thousand bales
of cotton bad been received il
the former city tins season. That
caused the Albany News to lose
it's temper, hump its back in the
middle and say the Telegraph q
correspondent is "another," and
that the JOURNAL knew it Mt the
time We must confess our igno-
rance as to TIE cotton receipts Of
Albany at that time. Cotton has
been coming to our own town SO
rapidly and in such large qaanti-
ties this season that we have had
to hustle" to keep up with our
own receipts; much less looking
after those Of another town. New
ertheles4, we cheerfully make the
correction due Albany by reason
Of the Telegraph's mistake. Twen-
ty thousand or more bales have
been received at that place this
season, and lots hIore is now on
the road .hcre. The TIE egraph's
correspondent was DOUBTLESS la
boring under considerable pro
hihition" excitement when he
penned that item. He should be
more careful in the future. The

zeal the interests of Albany.

1t will be observed that nearly all of the
larger mills increased their cut this year,
and, had the three mills of the Minneapolis
Mill company met their last years record the
cut would have reached $50, 900, 900 feet of
lumber. There have been eighteen mills in
operation during the summer, the Camp &
Walker Pacific mill and the Todd mill be-
ing idle. In addition there have been one
OF two exclusively post and shingle mills,
which will increase the number of shingles
given above. The mills of Nelson, Tenney
& Co., j. 3. Bassett & Co., Farnham &
Lovejoy, Merriman, Barrows 6 Co., East
man. Bovey & Co. and John
Martin company cut exclusively for them
selves as rule. The others
cut as follows: McMullen & Co., for N.
P. Clarke: Cole & " eeks, for themselves,
G. D. Haven and N. P. Clarke; Beede &
Bray, for Beede &c Robinson; Diamond
mills, for 81. L. Gordon, Mr.. Kemble and
Fl. f. Brown; Leighton mill, for Jessie
Jones, George Turner and II. L. Gordon;
Fletcher Bros, for themselves, Lee &
Backus and 81. L. Gordon; Stetson and
Clough Bros, for Clough Bros; Merriman,
Barrows & Co. cut little for Eastman,
Bovey & Co., and the latter little for N,
P. Clarke; the Minneapolis mills, for Wash
burn, Morrison and Leonard Day; Good
now for c.. A. Smith & Co.. Hale Lumber
company and Gilchrist Bros, and the
Northern mill cut for ". W. Huntingdon.
In this connection, as a matter of interest
and worthy of preservation, is given the cut
for each of the past sixteen years, showing
the gradual development of this magnificent
St. Paul daily globe., 1885-11-07

When the cut shall have entirely ended
the river will be entirely open and free of
lumber, the first time, really in the history
of logging operations. In 1877 the river
was practically free, but there were logs
here end there. though they cut no figure
in the calculations, so that the winter of
1856 will pass into history as the one in
which no logs were carried over. The
lumbermen can now square up their logging
accounts and know exactly how they stand,
something that is not often afforded.
THE YEARS BUSINESS
will be summed up by the lumbermen with
feeling approaching satisfaction. Last
year they claimed there was not cent in
the business. and there is no doubt that
those who forced off their stock lost money.
while those who held on will profit by it.
Two years ago, when the local consumption
beomed the cut up to 312, 900, 900 feet,
prices were demoralized and are now just
Strengthening up. Since spring an
advance of 81 all around has been
maintained and prices before spring will
be still higher. These facts lead lumber
men to view their business this year with
satisfaction. The complaints that are heard
are of railroad rates principally, and of diff
fculty in getting out the drives at various
times. The former they think can be
St. Paul daily globe., 1885-11-07

abated, while the latter perhaps belong
among the drawbacks incidental to every
business. A good trade is in anticipation,
and stocks are accumulating accordingly.
On the 1st of December Of last year there
were 215. 800, 900 feet of lumber on hand,
while there will be more this year to CORE
spond with the prices and the anticipated
advance. The assortment is held to be bet
ter than year ago. On the whole, there
fore, the thrifty lumber kings view the end
of the coming season with cOmplacency.
Another matter of Importance is
THE WINTER LOG CUT.
At the last convention of Northwestern
lumbermen, it was the unanimous opinion,
as expressed by resolution, that the cut this
winter should be reduced to benefit the busi-
ness. However, the cut will undoubtedly
be increased, the main reason being that no
logs will be carried over this winter. The
cut of last winter was 153, 900, 600 feet and
130, 900, 900 feet were carried over. This
makes a total of 2S3, 900, 900 feet, and which
corresponds with the total cut given in the
table, as the logs are scaled 10 per cent. in
the booms. All authorities agree that an
excess of 100, 900, 900 feet is the least that
will be cut this winter, making $50, 900, 900
the cut. There will be no surprise, how
ever. if the figure is swelled 10 Is per cent

IN THE FIRELIGHT.

The fire upon the hearth is low
And there is stiffness everywhere
Like troubled spirits here and there
The freight shadows huttering go.
And as the shadows round me creep,
A childish treble breaks the gloom,
And softly from further room
Comes: ''Now lay me down to Sleep"
And, somehow, with that little pray'r
And that sweet treble in my ears,
My thought goes back to distant years
And fingers with dear one there;
And as hear my child's amen,
My mothers face comes back to me-
Crouched at her side seem to be,
And mother holds my hands again.
Oh, for an hour in that dear place
Oh, for the peace of that dear time
Oh, for that childish trust sublime
Oh, for glimpse of mothers face
Yet, as the shadows round me creep,
I do not seem to be alone
Sweet magic of that treble tone
And SNOW lay me down to sleep?'

LOGS AND LUMBER.
The Season Closes at Minneapolis With

able One.

The last of the logs for the saving season
of 1885 reached the city yesterday morning,
and last night were turned into the distrib-
uting booms. This fact practically ends
the season and tonight the first of the mills
will close down for the winter. The stock
of logs on hand varies with the mills, and
while the middle of next week will find a
majority shut down, two or three will run
for ten days, unless ice interferes and COM
pels them to stop. The lumber market
presents two or three remarkable phases,
which will be considered in turn, each be-
ing worthy of special attention. The most
important fact just at this time is
THE SEASONS CUT,
which is now in sight. The last of the logs
being here and each sawyer having his
stock in plain sight, it becomes matter Of
no difficulty to get at the total cut, which is
shown in the following table. These
figures were obtained directly from the
mills. They are, up to Thursday night,
accurate and from that to the end of the
cut carefully approximated and entirely
reliable:
