LOCAL LUMBER MARKET.

MAND MODERATE-STOC


The Norfolk correspondent of ths
Manufacturers Record sums up the To-.
cal lumber situation for his Journal as
follows:
It may be stated that the autumn
trade Is now fairly inaugurated and in
lumber circles in this section the fea-
lures surrounding the market are much
more encouraging. All the mills here
are we'll supplied with orders, and
throughout the North Carolina pine
belt there is more snap and yigor
among the mills. Stocks generally are
light and somewhat ill-assorted. with
quite scarcity of the better grades.
and also of box lumber. The Eastern
centers are likely to develop a good
volume of trade after the election. and
the local demand viii also figure in
the general result. Among the planning
mills there is good business reported,
many of them running overtime In or.
der 10 Keep up with contracts. Prices
throughout the general list are steady.
but not quotably higher. The foreign
demand for lumber Is moderate and
with the present rates of freight and
scarcity of desirable vessels no large
amount of business Is expected at pres
ent. The following charters were re-
ported last week; Schooner Beaver.
1872 tons. from Norfolk to Sackville, N.
B., with lumber at SIS; schooner Helen
Husbrouck. 900 tons, from Scotland,
Va. to New York with lumber on pri-
Yate terms; schooner T.. Fl. Naylor, 22&
