LUMBER MARKET
The demand for yard stock from Texas
as well as from the Northwest, has rot
improved to an appreeiable extent, and
Il revival of activity is not anticipated
until The weather becomes more settled.
There has been no effort to force safes,
however. on account OF the small stocks
AT nearly all milling points and owing
To tho variety OF timber orders which
are such as 10 prevent any accumulation
If yard lumber, there will not for some
time he any disposition among mannflc-
turers TO throw their product upon tho
market. The reduction Of stocks Is more
marked r3 to clear lumber than common
and some large cDncernE liiive practically

manufacturers to wait for business to come
10 them Orders and inquiries for timber
bills continue to be received and hence
mills are SITTER In price than formerly.
More inquiries Tor timbciy are reported
than ever before. They are from all parts
NJ the country, even the extreme North,
a. we'll as from Mexico and European
countries. Some good export orders are
in hand. Prices are Arm on all grades of
lumber.
Shingles are in .ight demand. In SYM
