THE LUMBER TRADE.

The mill men and lumber dealers on
Puget sound, after mature elaboration.
concluded to follow in the wake of their
brethren In the East, and advance the
prices TO living rates. This could only be
done successfully by concerted action on
the part of those interested, and 1t could
only be done when the conditions were
favorable. The logging camps that were
compelled TO suspend operations during
the dun years succeeding the panic. re-
suited in making logs scarce, and the in
creased foreign demand for lumber has
been the means of exhausting rhe old
stock, leaving the market comparatively
bare. With the old logs out of the way, an
increasing demand and lvelier market
ahead, the prospects for this leading in
dustry of the Pacific Northwest are ex-
ceeedingly encouraging. New logging
camps will be started up, while the old
ones will be revived: idle mills will re-
sumo operations under more favorable
conditions: the capacity OF the old mills
be increased and double time and double
forces resorted to. Idle men will be given
employment: idle vessels Will obtain char
ter; the mosquito feet of the Sound will
be actively engaged. and business gener-
ally will feel the revivifying effect. With
limitless market and good prices for
lumber. coupled with other industries, the
cry OF duh times should be speedily ban
ished from this favored portion OF the
world

DEPYING THE TRUSTS.

The fayorite method OF the great mon
opolistic companies 20 secure market
for their goods beyond the reach OF COM
petition is to make price for the ar
ttc.e sold to the dealer. and then az the
expirat OF fixed periods repay to
him a portion o. this price. as a rebate.
provided the dealer can show that he has
purchased exclusively from the trust
during the period. Any dealing with an
outside competitor means the loss of this
rebate, which IN effect amounts TO the
dealers profit la handling the goods.
OF course, the single dealer is power
less. single-handed. to fight any of the
trusts with any hope OF escaping serious
pecuniary loss. The only chance for the
dealers IL TO enter into a combination
themselves on substantially the same
lines as the tr1sts. and thus fight them
with their own weapons.
This is what the wholesale grocers OF
Massachusetts have done In combining
TO resist the exactions OF what is known
as the Tobacco trust. They have en-
tered into an agreement 10 defy the
tObdCCO trust 10 0Sdl WITH WHfIli
are not connected with it and TO accept
in common any penalty which the trust
may attempt to enforce against any
wholesaler. and If necessary TO refuse
to handle any of the goods OF the trust
at all.
This method of attacking the great trade
combinations is more effective and more
to be feared 10y them than any penalties
which the law can impose. II the whole
salers remain true to their compact, the
tobacco trust managers will think twice
before they will take chances of losing
the entire machinery through which at
present they make their sales. and hav-
ing the entire trade interests enlisted In
support of their outside competitors.
With such trade combinations formed
against them. and with the recent deci-
sions OF many courts condemning their
organizations and their methods, there
seems 10 be rather stormy outlook for
the trusts. &c..
