ton Made North Carolina Pine AS
sociaion-MarkctA Active.

The North Carolina Pine Association
tic Hotel few weeks ago. and its
deliberations were published exclusively
in the Virginian- Pilot
The outlook for business this year was
said to be of the most promising char
acter. no unsold lumber on the market
and prices steady, with an upward ten
dency. This statement of the condition
of the market was made on the author
lily or Mr. Russell, secretary of the
North Carolina Pine Association, and
endorsed by the leading lumbermen.
UNFOUNDED RUMOR.
A rumor. which originated in Boston.
is now in circulation and has been pub
lished in number of papers to the
effect that n syndicate with 500. 000, 900
has been organized for the purpose OF
buying the mills controlled by Inc North
Carolina Pine Association. so as to
arrest the chaotic condition of the trade
and render it possible to continue the
mills in operation"
NO PROPOSITION MADE.
Mr.. Russell. the secretary of the
North Carolina Pine Association. said
report. No proposition has been made
the North Carolina Pine Association by
any syndicate with n view to forming Il
trust. The market is not chaotic, but
on the contrary there is but little
change from the conditions which cx-
listed Il few weeks ago, when his state
mcnt was published in the Virginian-
Pilot.
CAPT. ROPER'S STATEMENT.
Capt. John l.. Roper, the president of
the association. would coincide with
him in this opinion.
Captain Roper was seen at his office
and said: 1T is all wind. Prices are
Il little higher than they were a few
weeks ago. when the meeting of the
association was held at the Atlantic
Hotel. Some few mills have cut prices.
but the market is in excellent condi-
ton"
