The lumber business of Savannah start
ed out last September with bright pros
poets. The shipments that month were
over 100000 feet. The lumbermen calcu-
lated strongly upon a revival of trade after
the settlement of political affairs, but il
was SLOW 10 develop. There was a fair de
mand for lumber, but the prices continued
so low that in number of instances Sa-
Vannah dealers could not compete success
lulIy with western mills, consequently a
large quantity of lumber was diverted
through neighboring ports
There was fair demand for yellow pine
during the season, particularly for COM
mon lumber. and there was but little com
plant on the part of manufacturers on
account of not having enough to do.
The combination of mill owners and
dealers helped to maintain prices through
out the season, but their efforts to advance
prices were without avail. The eager.
ness to secure orders made dealers cut
their profits down to the smallest margin
and many complain that the years bust
ness was not altogether satisfactory
The shipments from Savannah during
the past year were less than those of the
previous year, by several million feet.
The year of 1856 however, was the larg-
est export year i'm the history of the trade
but the profits were even less satisfactory
than during the year first ended.
There was heavy demand for crossties
during the past year, and besides numer-
Gus full cargoes being shipped, a large
number of vessels We're laden with mixed
cargoes of lumber and crossties.
In the accompanying tables of shipments
the number of feet of crossties is included
in totals of lumber. A separate table, how
ever, will be found showing the movement
of crossties. During the early part OF the
commercial year there we're several car
goes shipped on barges, each carrying
about a million feet. 1t was not found
profitable to ship in this way, however,
the expenses of tugs to transport the
barges for so long distance being more
than was expected at the beginning of the
scheme. The advent of the barge had the
effect of lowering the rates on sailing YES
sells from which there has been no recov-
cry.
The lumber situation has improved per-
ceptibly within the past month and prices
have shown a tendency towards frmness
The general business outlook is so bright
that there is hope that the lumber trade
will be much improved along with other
industries.

SAVANNAH'S TRADE YEAR.

combine was short lived. Stocks accumu-
lated and eventually the market broke
with large sales at 24s4 24is and 2H4 cents
July opening at the last figure, with buy
ers Offering but "A cents, and seemingly
confident of eventually getting supplies
at an even lower price than that. For
the first three week of July prices rang
ed from PAS to 2iSs cents. 1t was during
this time that the Antwerp Naval Stores
Company entered the market as a bull.
Day after day it absorbed the receipts al
24A cents to % cents Suddenly. in the
last days of the month, on the advent of
other buyers in the market the Antwerp
advanced the price to % and then TO 26la
cents, at which point some spirits were
sod TO the other buyers Opposition ex-
porters not remaining i'm the field
the price speedily subsidized to %
cents again, at which il remained
some days. The necessities of other buy
ers forcing them i'm the market the price
was put up once more to 26 cents, and
then, i'm the closing days of August TO
261s, 2634, and then 27k cents, at which fig
ure the month closed.
The immediate future Is one of uncer-
tainty. Nearly all of the stock at SaVan-
nah is in the hands of the Antwerp COM
pany. whose purchases in the past two
months are placed at 81 900 casks, and IL is
the belief that 1t is its intention to force
impression exists on all sides but that for
the course pursued by that company the
market would have probably declined TO
% cents during July or August When
ever the needs of the other buyers are sup
piled the market may be expected to go
off, the Antwerp naturally desiring to alb
serb receipts at prices lower than those
paid by its rivals.
The two features of the rosin market
which began about December. and con-
tinued until April were the high prices
for common rosin, resulting from an un-
precedented demand, and the low prices
for pales, which suffered from a perpetual
chronic neglect, at times being a drug on
the market.
These conditions changed, however. dur
ing the past three months pales having
advanced, and the common grades declin-
ing to the lowest prices of the year.
There was steady demand throughout
the year, and the prices obtained, taking
altogether, were quite satisfactory TO the
producer.

THE SILK TRADE BY SEA.
La Science Pour Tous

Recent researches of NJ. Vidal de la Blache
a mem Der OF the French Academy OF Inscrip-
uons and Belles-Lettres, have thrown a new
light on the very inte resting question of the
origin OF the commerce in silk by way of the
sea- In examining some texts OF Pausanias
written about the year 175 OF our era. NJ de la
Blache finds it stated that the country of the
production of silk (seria) is fuvial delta sit
uated at the lowest part of the Indian Ocean. -
This statement is in contradiction to that of
Ptolemy and the geographers who preceded
him as to the geographical position of the
"Seres' (silk country.
Before Pau sanias wrote silk had been brought
into Syria by way of the sea, and many towns
were engaged in the manufacture of the goods
but about that time q change was taking place
in The directions and routes of commerce.
In consequence OF the war against the Par
thia1s, which broke out in the year 162 and
which was followed by pestilence which raw

deprived of their communications with the
East by land, had formed a company to seek

their manufacturing industry depended. 1t
