ORANGE LUMBER MARKET
THE SHIPMENTS FOR SEPTEMBER
SHOWED A DECREASE
From AUGUST. but an Increase Over the
Same Month OF the Preced-
ik ing Year.

orange, Texas, October 5.--As shown by
the tabulntcd statement Of last month
there was a very large decrease In the snip
ments OF lumber from Orange, the rail ship
ments aggregating COS cars, ms against Ss1
cars in August. AT the same time there
were 100 cars more sent away than We're
shipped in September, 1900. 1t was not
to be expected that the September ship
ments could possibly equal those Of the
previous month, because. principally, OF the
badly assorted condition OF stocks on the
mill yards, making It Impossible 10 hll or
ders promptly, ana sorr not nc all. one
mill had less than hair million feet of
lumber on the yard at the beginning Of
the month and never cut stick during
the month, thus taking It clear out OF the
market for the time being.
Reports from the vaious MIL Offices this
week Indicate q marked Improvement in
the demand. quite an increase being noted
in the number Of orders coming to hand
and October is expected TO make a much
better showing in the way OF shipments
than did September. All of the mills are
in full operation, with plenty Of timber
in sight to keep them going steadily for
many months TO come About twenty mil
lion feet of timbrr bias reached the storage
booms within the past two weeks, and the
river is still ut good logging stage
While thcre Is considerable improve
mcnt in the demand Tor yard stock, the
lumber manufacturers do not anticipate
any very heavy movement until the farm-
ers complete their harvesting operations
They are too busy now saving fheir crops
