LUMBER MARKET REVIEW,

lumber during the past week. Orders from
dealers continue to come in and
considering the season, the desire
of dealers to run their stock down in prep.
aration for the day of inventory, the vol
ume of business is most encouraging. The
circumstance denotes activity at the yards
liz the interior. where heretofore there has
assurance OF a substantial business re-
Iiyal after the holiday season has passed
There is in fact little doubt that the de-

new year that the limited stocks ut the

has so diminished certain grades and sizes
and lengths hat they can be had at only
certain points. The demand for dressed
stoch has heen particularly good and as a
general thing the planners have been Kept
constantly bu2zine, and yet at some points
they have been run overtime. That the
export trade is lively is attested by the
large number Of vessels now in port taking
on carsoes. This feature of the business is
expected to develop immense growth dur
ing the coming year. Railroad material for
betterments has not been in active demand
for several months, but there is much to be
done during the coming year and manu-
faoturers anticipate an increased trade from
that source early in the new year. In view
of the present demand and the unusually
bright outlook manufacturers are more
hopeful today than at any time within the
twelve-month now about ending.
The improved demand for shingles here
tofore noted has been well maintained and
consequently dry stock at this point is
scaroe.

Waco, Texas, December 25.-Chrstmas
Day opened with big frost, but the sun
shone brightly from early morning. The
charity organizations were up early prepar-

during the day a great many needy fam

wants supplied. The usual number of
beggars are not in evidence in this city this
winter and the leaders in charity work her ,
are puzzled to know why they have d'sap-

Defs or the professionals were on hand to
ciaim share OF the aims given out, but
this winter very few of this kind have ap-
peared 1t is believed to be due to the
methodical system adopted by the charity
organizations, which excludes professionals
entirely and makes inquiry into each case
reported, thus combining their aid to really
worthy objects. Cases oil abiect poverty
are found among families VINO are TOO proud
to acknowledge that they are in want. Such
cases are detected through neighbors from
whom they borrow the bare ueces3aries Of

disclosed. These cases are always RELIEF d
when found, supplies being sent to the
house frequently without any Knnwlcd1e on
the part of the recipients OF where they
come from. great deal of this kind Of
charity work is being done In Waco and
the system seems TO work better than any
other adopted here II is found that when
meritorious cases are thus relieved, instead
