THE ORANGE LUMBER MARKET
THERE IS LITTLE CHANGE IN THE
LUMBER SITUATION.
The Demand for Export and for
Railroad Material shows No
DiminutiOn.

Orange. Texas, July 1.-There Is little
change to record in the lumber situation
at this place since last report. everything
moving along in about the usual channels
All the mills report plenty of saw bills
being offered, while the demand for yard
stock is as good as it has been for som
time, orders being received daily for ship
ment into the interior. Advices from Ne
braska Kansas and the Territories are to
the effect that prospects were never better
for fine crops and that very large de-
mand for lumber was looked for in those
sections as soon as crops were harvested
and the farmers could devote their time to
building and repairs. There has been 10
falling off in the demand for railroad ma
terial; Mexico continues to buy largely
from the mills at this place, the foreign
demand Is excellent, and altogether the
mills have just about as much business
as they can attend to in the way OF saw
bills.
A heavy movement OF lumber by water
from the mills here has again begun, after
lrll of few weeks, and large amount
of material is now going out by way OF
Sabine Pass. Five barges loaded with
lumber and big shipment of square tint
Der have been sent away from the mills
here this week, and by the time vessels
now at Sabine Pass complete their car
goes others will be in port, the dispatch OF
which will keep all the mills busy for
some little time.
Lumber manufacturers as yet have no
reason TO fear collapse of any kind, as
indications all point to continuance OF the
present good demand and a great improve,
ment little later on. There is no reason
10 believe that prices II go any lower,
the prices at which timber lands are being
sold assuring the permanency of good
prices for lumber.
With every indication OF big harvest
throughout the entire agricultural section.
the chances for transportation for lumber
after crops begin to move are very slim,
indeed. Knowing this to be a fact, some
dealers are taking time by the forelocll
and providing for such an emergency by
stocking up their yards, so as to be able
to take care of their fall trade. There
is hardly doubt that the future will prove
the wisdom of their action in so doing
An inquiry for over 400,0O0,00O million
feet OF yellow pine in one batch is some
thing rather unusual, but such I'm inquiry
was received here last week and should
the order for same be placed, there would
absolutely be no show for getting lumber
at present prices any longer, for 1t would
absorb the product of every mill in this
section. No matter where the order is
placed 1t viii give tone TO the market
that will prevent much price cutting ony-
where.
Heavy rains have fallen during the past
week and doubtless. thore will he SUI
