PRICE OF LUMBER.
It Is Booming and There Are Reasons
Therefor.

New York, Aug. 4.-The Tribune says:
quoted at SIG a thousand feet five months
ago Is now sold at $50. There has been
an advance OF 20 TO 30 per csnt all along
the line. Herbert +. McClsnnen, a whole
sale lumber dealer, of No. 20 Broadway.
in speaking yesterday afternoon to a
Tribune reporter said: "The cause of the
advance In the price of lumber may be
said to be the increased demand, the de.
crease In the supply owing to the scarcity
In timber and the natural reaction from
the low and ruinous prices that have pre-
vailed heretofore. During the hard times
q few years ago the price of lumber fell
to such q low figure that it is a fact that
manufacturers sold lumber at an actual
loss. A better condition now prevails 1 n
the lumber trade, and manufacturers are
bssieGed with contracts Can you blame
them for increasing the prioeg To show
you how prices are advanced I hay a
price list issued little over q month ago
by the North Carolina Pine Association.
of Norfolk, which Is n great factor In
regulating the pine prices in this State.
Today you have to pay en- advance Of 50
thousand on the prices printed. Prices
will continue to advance.
Under the tariff laws. the Canadians
nave 10 pay " GUY on every thousand
feet of lum Der brought into this country.
Last year they could not afford to pay
this duty. Today with the increased
prices, they export large quantities over
the border at handsome profit.
-Four months ago spruce in this State
was sold at Si2.50, and manufacturers
were glad to get an offer at that price.
Now SIS. so is the price. and $40 will so on
bs the figure. Nos. l and white oak has
advanced sI6 to its present price of sos a
thousand feet.
1.-THE Spanish war unsettled the lumber
trade In the East, but the West did not
fear the results and kept on building and
used up the lumber. The East has taken
some time to use its surplus lumber, and
now, when it tries to place its contracts
for lumber. it finds that the Western
manufacturers have met the increased
tie mand by an advance In prices. 1, my
self. believe that before many years there
win be an actual lumber famine in this
country. Stringent forestry laws will
then be passed and forests will be cared
for with. the solicitude THAT Is given to
them In Germany. II the canal across
tina lbthmus OF Panama were dug the
beautiful fir and pine lumber of the
Pacific Coast could be brought here and
seld ct u profit. The rates of the rail-
roads prohibit the lumber from coming
here now"

the matter, they have not declared for
any definite policy. Neither has the
President himself made any definite
declarations, although IL may DO inferred
that at one time at least he contemplated
the forcible subsection OF the peopls Of
the Islands. While the absence Of well
defined policy may be In one sense unfor-
tunate. yet 1t In allowing abundant time
for discussion In the country, and on a
great question like this discussion Is q
very desirable thing. There are class
of men and papers who have hitherto
been very intolerant of discussion, even
going SO far as TO denounce as traitors
those who took any View but one. A
great question OF national interest can
never be settled permanently by epithets;
and 1t is CRAFTY ing TO observe on all
sides disposition to substitute careful
thought for vituperation.
