Pacific Coast Wood and Iron says:
 Despite the war news. the drought and the dull times. the milmen continue to cut lumber and send it into San Francisco and the south. Prices are down and will continue for the present. The fact is, there is too much lum- Der made. One order for 500, 600 feet. special sizes to be used in fumes, placed with a Humboldt mill and cutting on it will he com menced at once. Steamers are being withdrawn from the Alaskan routes and will soon be back in the lumber carrying trade, large influx Of shingles may soon be expected, as there are many millions awaiting shipment. On the whole there is a better feeling among the milmen and hopes entertained of better state of affairs
 ''The Spanish-American war is having it's influence upon Eastern trade circles and the lumber industry is somewhat affected. There divers opinions prevalent regarding the ultimate effect of the conflict, but the general feeling is confident. In fact, fear of a crisis is held by but few, and even the more conserva- tive hold that the prices will advance after a season A tendency to wait is throughout the East and Middle West, but this is only temporary.
 Unlike on this Coast. the crop prospects on the other side of the Continent are very prom ising and prices are steady and remunerative. owing to the war risks, and vessels sail with CargOes quoted at risk Of purchasers. Rail will take precedence over shipments. and advance of prices will necessarily follow this important alteration.
 "A resume of the entire lumber industry in the United States finds but little change, unless for the better, and the war scare will soon be over. Every victory of our forces tends to force conditions to a normal basis with every prospect of continuation throughout the year"
