thev had anticipated earlier in the season,
but sec no particular cause Tor worry IN
mat. Reports from the interior are to the
eneet that nowhere are there any heavy
STOCKS. but as the consumers have not yet
commented to call for any large quantities
OF lumber the dealer has been in no hurry
to place his orders for stock
The mills at orange are in better shapa
to care for interior orders than they have

needed and are giving quick delivery. 1t Is
more than likely that when the cotton crop
begins 20 move towards the seaports cars
Will be hard to secure. hence IL behooves
the dealers to get in the-s orders now. In the
words OF the ubiquitous circus bill Come
carly and avoid the rush.

Just at the present time than this.
MN men and timber men on tho Sabine
river experienced genuine feeling OF re-
lei this week when II became known that
the propossd regulations prohibiting the run
