LUMBERBUSINESS
As Seen by the Pacific
Lumber Trade Journal

The experiment now being made in
Whatcom county of extracting pitch,
turpentine and other by.products from
fir stumps is being watched with interest
by lumbermen. If successful, logged-of
lands " i'll have value they do not now
possess.
The lumber industry OF the state of
Washington will be we'll represented in
the next legislature. There are already
nearly forty candidates, republicans and
democrats, in sight, with several con-
ventions yet to hear from. and with a
large number of others who are indirect
ly interested and can be depended on to
vote with the Iumbermen quite respect
able showing will be made.
Lumber for California delivery is be-
ing sold at prices that yield no return on
the labor or logs. Since the depression
in the eastern demand every mill near
salt water has gone into the cargo bust
ness. with the result that it has been
overdone. The dumping of an addition
al amount from the Oregon mills, now
that rail rates have been restored, will
only further overstock glutted market.
The press dispatches recently un.
earthed plan whereby the Interstate
Red Cedar Single Company had formed
an alliance with the Shingle Weavers
Union for the purpose of closing down a
number of mills which persisted in
running while the other mills were
closed. There is absolutely no truth in
the report. The Interstate Company
does not control the policv of the mills
in the state with regard to closedowns,
and does not pretend to. 1t merely acts
in an advisory capacity, and could not
close single mill if it wanted to. There
fore, it would be ridiculous to ask the
Shingle Weavers' Union to do something
it could not do itself.
So far the transcontinental lines have
not filed a single valid argument against
the granting of a 40-cent rate to the
Missouri river. The only two reasons
why the rate may not be granted is that
the present rate is not remunerative and
that the southern roads may retaliate in
the event the reduction is granted. The
contentious are weak and not to the
point. There being only one mile differ.
ence in the haul from Portland to St
Paul and the haul from Portland te
Omaha, the fact that Accent rate has
prevailed to the former point for twelve
years, and has been conceded remunera.
tive, should disprove the first assertion,
The contention OF retaliation is not to be
considered, as the southern lines will
have to reduce their rates from 40 to sc
per cent in order to meet the 20 per cent
reduction asked by the Coast shippers.

Charles Spencer, sec ond Lord Sunderland, would not when he sat in parliament for Tiverton, allow him self to be called my lord and expressed the hope that he would live to see the day when not a peer would be left in England.

By Private Wire From c. W. Lee & Col
 NEW YORK. Feb. II.-Stronge what a com plete change has taken place in the cotton situation over night. Instead of trying to en- courage buyers to get into the market and take q risk on the buying side as we did yesterday, 1t is necessary to advise, caution. The price has advanced so rapidly from [ q. 70 yesterday May sold at I4o5 this morning, an advance of l35 points. This Is pretty good advance in one day and we are inclined to look for a sharp break on any further advance That is, all those who bought so heavily to help those in financial difficulty will be likely to sell out on every hard spot The war abroad and a thousand and one bear argu- xnents will have weight on the average trader We are firmly convinced that all fear of trou- ble is now past. On every good break you can buy cotton and not be afraid of a panic But this does not mean that prices should Ro up From cents after an advance of IK cent in day. We don't want to buy any cotton on this advance Prices should work back un. der 31s cents at least. Trading should be re- cetved cautiously There has been a blow dealt at cotton and the future may not be what the past has been, There is nothing to buy futures on over IA cents at the moment It Is different at 2 cents

NEW YORK Feb. II.-cotton futures de- veioped substantially early today in conse quence of the relative strength of the Liver pool market. The latter. due to come i602l points higher showed an advance of 25G53 points. and subsequently while losing . part of the gain held relatively firm with spots at an advance of 24 points The advices from the South were more builsh. since the receipts promised to run very small. The port receipts were figured at only l2,oo0 bales and na- furaily the indications pointed to bullieh week. end statistics. The bull forces active in xhair endeavor to break the position of the shorts and in some instances they succeeded well inaEmuch as shorts bought on a liberal scale. On the better levels there was consid- erahie selling for both sides of the account. but much cotton landed in a strong place. and consequently for the most part there was better undertone. It was pointed out that a number of the larger interests were satisfied to scalp the market for the time being and naturally in some cases there was clear evil dence that the professionals were waiting for quick turns. In view of the Lincoln holiday and fears of undue developments the other side during the balance of the week. many prominent traders reduced their commitments to no small extent. Advices from New Or. leans quite optimistic. in that they were to the effect that shorts were covering quite frely. However, the better levels in the local market there was quite a deal of selling for various accounts and consequently there was some little irregularity in the latter part of the day: The estimated port receipts for the day were l2.ooo. against 3S.453 for the same day last year

 NEW ORLEANS. Feb. il-As Liverpool was higher and subsequently, improved 6Ia5e ad- ditional on heavy buying predicated on an improvement in the spot situation, making the Hester today issued the Texas crop statement chewing that up to Jan. lst. the amount brought into sight from that State was D.

The Census Bureau shows that up to Jan. 18th Texas and the Indian Terri tory had already ginned 2.6l0ooo. or prac- tically as much as estimated by the bureau. From the above it looks as if the Government has under-estimated the Texas crop by about 4o0,OOo Mir. Hester's statement makes the amount brought into sight from other Cuff and Atlantic States to Jan. 3Ist 5.56S, GOO and the amount marketed from that date un- tiI the end of the season from these States was 2.u2:ooo last year. 2oSs. 900 year be If the minimum amount of l i,eeT. 900 is taken ln 1901. when the crop was lo.3S3. 900 1t would indicate a crop of 7.4s2, 900 for the other Gulf and Atlantic States and as Texas on the face of the figures points to 3 900 coo U would look as If the crop on inc face of the figures points to q yield of lo.432, 900 with out allowing for any new crop to be marketed during August next. To make the crop only 1o.0ooo coo. the movement from now out must show daily decrease of nearly 27 per cent or an aggregate decrease of 729.oo bales We are now approaching the 18th of February and the marked decrease in the movement had not as yet materializad. It must soon come. or crop estimates will have to be raised. We call attention to these facts. as 1t Is best to work on conservative lines, and not bull cst- ton on the theory that the yield will be g. soo.oo or s.T5oo 900. when the figures look as if 1t may be considerably more. The wild optimism prevalent all this season was in- strumental in occaslonng a disastrous decline and now that the market is healthier. we deem 1t advisable to be guided more by facts and less by theories If caution is not exer- cised in the future. may have a recur- renee of what was experienced in the market recently. On the whole we believe the ten dency is upwards and if values are not forced too high. spinners will become free buyers of spots and place the market on a legitimate working basis.

NEW YORK, Feb. li.-The cotton market opened firm at an advance of 2lMSx polnts on covering and moderate bull support, 1oilow- ing higher cables than expected, reports or good spot demand at advancing prices ana Tlnors that a fresh bull syndicate had been formed There was. however, no sign or az greseive buying for long account and arter the call the market ruled comparatively quiet. There was a good deal of profit taking by yes terday's buyers who were not disposed to carry their holdings over the holiday in view of the possibility of complications in the Far East and during the forenoon there was fre- uuent, though narrow setbacks with the mar" ket generally showing an upward tendency un- til shortly after midday March wae quoted at Sl2a6: May 1909 and July at l4.ie. a net advance of 66G74 points on these options This level attracted heavier offerings, but af- ter recession of or 10 points the market showed resistance to . further decline, ruling generally steady to firm, although there seemed to be little buying from the recog- nieed bull sources. New Orleans sent some buying orders here and some of the wire houses with Southern connections were oper- ating both ways, but business for the most cal bull bid for March. rallying the market to about the best of the day. The close was very steady at a net advance of 35@72 points. Sales were estimated at 400, 900 bales. Port receipts for the day were about one-third of last years and interior receipts were little less than half of last year, but the exports were very light. The Far Eastern situation is having very little apparent tnnu- ence ct the moment. Receipts at the ports to- day, i4.9t4 bales, against 2O,O6l last week and 3S, ,4S3 last year.
