The Bermuda Not sunk.

Philadelphia. March N.-on the subject
OF the alleged sinking of the steamer Ber-
muda by British cruiser, John D. Hart
says: Il do not expect TO have any reli-
able Information regarding the Bermuda
until Sunday. ana then 1t will be vastly
different from that. The Bermuda was
cent here TO clean her bottom" said Mr..
Hart. He added that the vessel had left
New York March Is. ostensibly for Vera
Cruz. but with valuable war material for
the Cuban insurgents. Mr.. Harris lawyer
Thinks there has been q mistake. and that
the American steamer Volusia has been
sunk. The theory Is that she was fired
upon by Spanish cruiser which mistook
her for a filibuster. The Volusia is long
overdue. having left Jamaica on her return
trip March u. She carried merely q general
cargo. and had no arms whatever. Her
crew numbered between twenty-five and
thirty. and all are thought to have been
lost

Lumber and shingles.

v. H. Beckmans Seattle letter to the
Northwestern Lumberman Of March Il.
says: THE Central Lumber Company is
certainly the strongest lumber association
ever formed on the Coast. and will affect
directly and indirectly the entire trade.
local. foreign, coastwise and Eastern, al
though it covers only the cargo trade. It
is expected that the good effect will not be
apparent for sixty days, because buyers
will not order until they are certain that
the association is strong enough to main
tain prices. So far as known there Is only
one cargo mill on Puget sound not in the
combine. and as the Central Lumber Com
pany controls the bulk OF the coastwise
vessels and the majority of the yards in
California, It will not be able to ship any
lumber into that market. One Of the ef-
fects of the new association is the move
ment on foot In British Columbia TO or
&c nize a rail shippers association on SINH
lar lines, and 1t is thought the rail- ship
pers OF Washington and Oregon will fol-
low suit shortly.
The red cedar shingle trade is slowly
but surely picking up. and the mills now
have more orders than for a long time.
Buyers have been holding off In the ex-
pectation of a break in prices. and now
that they are satisfied that prices are TO
be stiff they are sending In orders. Tho
majority of the mills are in operation, ard
last years prices are being obtained with
out difficulty If the demand continues 10
improve. 1t Is not at all unlikely that an
advance OF 8 cents will be made: in fact.
one of the largest firms on the Sound Is
seriously considering the advisabiity CT
issuing a price list based on an advance.
The rail shipments during February how
ever. showed a decrease of % per cent. as
compared with the same month one year
ago.
'Shngle manufacturers take exception
to complaints from customers about the
width of the ordinary bunch of shingles.
Tho buyers say the band is only nineteen
inches, whereas the bunch should be
twenty inches and believe they are being
imposed upon. AS a matter OF fact the
punches are twenty inches. but In order
10 tighten the package nineteen inch bands
are used If twenty inch band was used
every bunch would be loose and would fall
to pieces
THE demand for lumber for Eastern
shipment is good. and indications point TO
the fact that this is to be an exceptionally
good year. Already there has been in
crease in shipments OF over 20 per cent. as
compared with same period last year. The
latest buyer is the Iowa Central. which
heretofore has used yellow pine in con-
structtg cars. Experiments with FIR hav-
ing proved satisfactory. that road will
hereafter use n large amount OF Washing
ton lumber. Spruce is in good demand,
bat cedar Is slow. Inquiries continue good,
but collections are slow. The cargo trade
Is quiet. due. no doubt. to the fact that
the combine il now effective. but the out
look is all right"
