TO SAVE A GREAT INDUSTRY.

The redwood merchants and manu-
facturers of California have united for
mutual protection under the business-like
title of '.The Redwood Lumber Company"
Their object Is TO regulate the product of
Mendocino, Sonoma, Humboldt and Del
Norte counties, and TO raise the price OF
redwood lumber 70 a figure that will assure
profit to the millmen.
1t was a struggle for them TO become
unanimous on some questions which are
practically determined by their associa-
ton. and only last Saturday the solitary
and stubborn concern, the Casper Lumber
Company, fell into line, and so completed
the solidity OF the organization. The full
LIST OF redwood manufacturing houses was
then as follows:
Albion Lumber Company.
Caspar Lumber Company
CotIoneva Lumber Company.
Crescent City Mill and TRANSPORTATION Com
pany.

gates in Conference.
An animated meeting of the Painters
Union was held last evening at lis Turk
street.
Nearly the whole session was devoted to
the discussion of report sent by the
grievance committee of the Building
Trades Council upon the proposition of
holding conference with st. Denis de-
tailed elsewhere in this column. The re-
port stated that Mr.. st. Denis viii ask for
one foreman to eight men; and further,
that his firm would sign an agreement
with the union upon the lines of the
mutual understanding with the Building
Trades committee.
After much discussion il was decided to
send Mr.. Ames and Mr.. Shields to repre-
sent the Painters Union, and thev will re-
port to the union at 7P. NJ. the result of the
conference.
The conference will be held to-day in
the office of J. st. Denis & Co., on Sutter
street, near Grant avenue.
The recommendation OF the grievance
or arbitration committee is not final, al
though it is likely to be accepted by the
council. The full delegation to the coun-
Gil will act upon the report on Thursday
night.
If the decision of the council be not ac-
cepted by the Painters Union the refusal
will amount to the withdrawal of their
delegates from the council. and they would
have to fight their battles alone and un-
supported. 1t is not at all likely that the
latter situation will arise.
The relief committee was instructed to
discontinue soliciting help from the pub
lie for the striking painters after the
money already promised is collected. This
order does not apply to the entertainment
committee having the theatrical enter
tainment benefit in hand.
Special committees reported that the
Coast Seamen's Union had subscribed $25
ana taken forty benefit tickets. The Plas-
terers' Union purchased $50 worth of tick
cts.

Chicago H.. Feb. 7.--Most of the trade in wheat today was crowded into the last hour of the session, when prices, under the i'm pulse of good buying. advanced rapidly ing quotations. There was no vim to the morning operations. and as prices displayed some very weak symptoms the local bears were inclined to sell q little too freely, and ated that such decided upturn took place later. Up until noon the tone averaged steady, with few changes of importance. Then the buying became more pronounced, and the advance already mentioned was established. May wheat opened at 667s4 67c, sold between 66lbM66Ss and 6S4sc,s closing at BS1sq6SAc, 5sc higher than yesterday. Cash wheat was easy early, but closed nom finally steady with the futures.
 Corn did not draw much attention, as the trading was of no significance and nothing new in the situation having developed. The influence of wheat was the predoninatlng being followed promptly. May corn opened at 3OA@SOSsc. advanced to 3O9s4304tc, closing at SO3sc, bc higher than yesterday. Cash corn was steady.
 Trading was very ordinary in oats The vagaries of wheat and corn prices were re- produced in this market, but on smaller scale. May oats closed unchanged from yesterday. Cash oats were i4ml2c lower for local and steady to Ac lower for through billed, the feeling at the close being firm with the futures.
 The weakness of wheat and corn during s the morning was productive of selling of provisions, and prices declined under the pressure. There was no buying induced by the later rallying grain so that no recovery took place. At the opening the feeling was steady, advices from the yards of an ad- vance of 5 cents in hogs furnishing en- couragement At the close May pork was 20c lower, May lard Dc lower and May ribs 7AMl10c lower.
 The leading futures ranged as follows:
