Considerable Activity in the Log
Market Manifested.


The log market the past week has
shown considerable activity, and many
sales OF lumber and logs have been
made. Prices, although they hold firm,
are not very much higher than last fall.
Considerable feeling has been created
among the lumbermen, both here and
elsewhere along the st. CrOix and Mis-
slssippi, by the action of prominent
Clinton. To-. lumberman. who has ma
terIally reduced the prices of lumber. 1t
IS SAID by some that he is DESTROYS of
selling out. and has taken this step in
order TO get the Weyerhauser syndicate,
or some other wealthy numbering con-
Germ, to buy him out. A Quincy, ILL.,,
zimmerman, who is in the city, stated
Yesterday that as long as this state of
aIIalrs existed he would follow the ex-
ample or many other dealers, and would
plie MS lumber in the yards rather than
compete with the Clinton man. Al
though they do not consider that
much, they would like to see
harmony prevail. On the river
everything is booming and all of the
ooats have ali they can do. A great
deal OF difficulty has been experienced
at the WinOna bridge, and many RATS
nave been broken up in consequence,
entalling loss of several thousand dol
lars. The boom is running smoothly,
and nearly all of the old logs have
been run through. The new logs will
be reached some day this week,
