THE ORANGE LUMBER MARKET.
All Mills Report an Increased lie.
mnnh Irrnnl lhe Interior.

Orange, Texas. August livery mill
office reports an increase in the demand
from the interior this week orders having
been more numerously received than they
have been for some time heretofore The
cotton crop is beginning to be harvested
and placed on the market and. though the
crop b short. the yield is showing up bet
ter than had been anticipated in many
sections and ON the strength of this
doubtless, dealers who have been holding
on placing orders until crop results were
more dehnitely known, are now beginning
to stock up their yards in anticipation
OF the brisk fall trade that is almost sure
now 10 develop. That the dealers are NOT
yet altogether satisfied that prices nav
become stable is shown from the uumher
OF inquiries that come to hand askinv
for figures before bills are placed. In
The Houston daily post. [volume] (Houston, Tex.) 1886-1903, 1900-08-12

every instance the mills quote figures con-
forming to the prevailing list, nut 40
not in every instance secure the order'
fer it seems thG-e are yet a few manu-
features who are willing TO sacrihce thelr
lumber at a cut PRICE For unately,
their numbers are daily growing less,
however, as the demand grows in Vo,-
ume.
The call this week has been more large
ly for dimensions than for planning mill
stock, 5na aHs-5 dimension is being SOLD
now than has been for some time past
AS the wet weather still continues, the
planning mills are working al a disadvan-
tage, as 1t is impossible TO work wet
lumber with the nicely that dry stock
can be finished. The lolg continued
wet weather is thorn ia the flesh OF
the lumber manufacturer from another
standpoint also. Although there is an al
lowance in esc.Snt for rain. ii is not SUI
hcient to anywhere near cover the extra
weight Of the lumber caused by the con
slant rains that have fallen for the past
six weeks or more. Even the lumber in
the shed that is not touched by the rain
absorbs the dampness ana weighs much
heavier than in a dry season all of which
makes freight bills run up into figures a
an alarming rate and as all lumber Is
sold delivered. the manufacturer Is the
man that has TO foot the bill, doing il
with as good grace as it possible under
the circumstances.
A feature of ,he trade this week that
is gratifying is tile inc eased call for ma
terial from the Northwest. This terri
tory. which proved such a fruitful field
last year for some OF the mills IN this
section. has been out of the market for
some time past in so fa4 IS the southeast
Texas mills We're concerned, but gooS
inquiry has been noticed from that sec
ton this week. eVdenciag that conditions
have improved and the Northwest will
soon again be consuming mich lumber
manufactured in Southeast Texas.
! The burning of the three big dry kilns
of the Lutcher & Moore Lumber company,
followed by the breaking Of the main
shaft that has CLOSED the mill down for.
at least ton days, Will have the effect
of curtailing lumber shipments somewhat
this month from Orange ana the record
/ for the month will probably fall short
/ on this account.
/ All OF the mills raport an abundance
of railroad orders the demand for this
class of mate.i.I Being just as urgent as
it has been for many months past. Espe-
cially is this true of the demand for ties
the mills all ho,is crowded with orders
I for all the ties they can supply
Shipm entS by water for the balance of
this month from the mills at Orange will
be confined principally to railroad ma
terial for Mexican delivery. There are
two vessels now in port al Sabine Pass
that will load from Orange with railroad
material for Mexico and these are to he
followed by other vessels that have been
chartered for same voyage
Reports from all the timbe- camps along
the river are to the effect hat logging
operations are being very seriously IN
terfered with By .he incessant rains. How
ever, this does not affect the mills now,
