LUMBER MEN MEET.
Some Interesting Figures We're Pre- &.
sented by Secretary Smith.


New Orleans. Jan. 20.-The Southern
Lumber Manufacturers association
met here in their fourteenth annual
session. NJ. r. Mcleod president Of
the association. called the meeting to
order. Concerning the outlook for the
lumber trade. President Mcleod said
in his ann"a! report: The ,ousurilp-
ton OF lumber IN the south will prob
ably be very greatly increased on az
count of the high prices the southern
farmers have been getting for their
products. Estimates OF stocks on
hand only show four percent more
January l, 1904. than was shown n
year ago. When it is considered that
on account of the inability to obtain
transportation facilities and that there
is an actual shortage in the retail
yards OF over 300 600 900 feet. and that
1t will take the movement OF that
amount before the retail yards Will
have a normal stock, ii will be seen
that there is an actual shortage of
lumber on hand that the conditions OF
supply and demand are favorable to
the manufacturers"
Secretary Smith presented his an
nual report, which was an exhaustive
review of the trade. Referring to pro-
duction of lumber he said: Reports
from 365 mills for 1902 showed 1896.
655,6S2 feet produced. These same
mills. with thirty additional. show
4,762.79l.77s feet. an increase OF 226.
100000 feet We estimate this to be
between 50 and 90 percent of the out
put OF the six states in which the mills
are located. viz. Arkansas, Texas.
Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama.
our clearing house summary for 1903
compiled from 203 miles, shows BIOS
600 600 feet cut, an increase OF over the
175 mills In 1902 of 5000 600 feet
