Trsds-Ths Lumbsr and Timber Trade
Gpeciai.l


NonroLx. Va. Aug. 25.-The financial
situation il much easier here. The banks
have money TO meet all demands and have
taken mono of the extra precautions
adopted in other cities. The trucking
trade of this section has been very large
this season and from this source alone
more than 95.OOO, 900 have been deposited
Ia the banks Of Norfolk. The truckers are
In easy circumstances and are satisfied to
draw interest on their money. especially
at this season, when it Is not needed IN
their business.
THE CRISIS PASSED.
September let the oyster trade will CON-
mence. which will give employment 10
several thousand hands. The outlook is
very bright for the next season. Thought
full business men now teel that the crisis
has passed. Norfolk has been inconven-
fenced but not injured TO any great ex-
tent. There have been some failures of
small merchants operating upon credit
basis. The situation IN the lumber and
timber market has not materially changed,
and while the volume of business IL some
what curtailed, the general market may
be considered moderately active and
steady.
NO NfW fENIJhhb.
There are sixty-fve lumber mills within
radius of five miles, which are conducting
safe business. They are not anxious to
enlarge their business under the present
depressed condition of the trade in all
parts ofthe country and will not make any
new ventures. The demands from North
ern aud Eastern sources Is showing signs
of O slight improvement, and while late
orders have been entirely for immediate
wants. It is expected that en- early resump-
ton for future deliveries will take place.
The mills are ali running, and orders fer
dressed lumber are reported fair.
The merchants of Norfolk are very hope
ful and feel that when the currency ques-
ton is settled the country will be 10 po-
ntion TO move forward TO prospe rous
future.
