YELLOW PINE MEN
HAVE QUIET TRADE
Revival of Good Times Not Yet
in Sight
PRICES FAIRLY STIFF
The Mill Men Are as Optimistic as
Ever, and Have No substan-
tia Reason to be
Otherwise.

Hattesburg, Miss, September 15.-(Spe-
ciaD.-The revival of good times. which
the yellow pine men have been predicting
for some time past has not yet made it's
appearance That Is to say, there has
been no noteworthy upheaval in trade
conditions, with respect either to demand
or prices, although there has been a
steady good business, and prices are as
stiff as they are likely to be until the
boom arrives.
w. C. Rodgers. secretary of the South
Mississippi Lumberman's association, an
extremely conservative and reliable OBJ
server of the trade, describes the situation
thus:
There has been no great advance in
values. and the price list adopted by the
association in the middle of last month
will still cover transactions on this mar
ket. But prices are fairly stiff, and there
is enough demand to keep the mills run
ming steadily. There is a great short
age of cars for the moving of lumber, and
If there was much greater output at the
mills | doubt If the orders could be filled
because of this shortage Of rolling stock.
The mills are all quite busy, without
making extraordinary exertions, and
they are disposihg of their products as
rapidly as 1t comes from the saw. The
result is that no stocks are accommodating.
There is every indication of quite heavy
demand at once, such a revival of demand
as might be looked for now that the grain
in the north and the cotton in the south
has commenced to move. With stocks
at the mills low, rolling stock hard to
obtain for even normal consignments,
and with demand constantly increasing,
cannot see anything to the situation
but a considerable advance of prices on
the market: and my idea Is that the buy
err who will need large amount of lum-
Der and delays getting his order TO the
mills at prevailing prices, will get Sc
verely bitten on prices and may suffer
costly delay on delivery"
The mlllmen are as optimistic as ever.
They have no substantial reason to be
otherwise They are getting fair prices
for their output. there is reason to be-
lieve that prices will improve. they are
moving all the lumber they are cutting
and while they have their constant wor-
ries over rolling stock and labor, other
wise their condition Is satisfactory.

Scarcity of Rolling Stock.

The scarcity of rolling stock on the
railroads of this section for the handling
of lumber shipments is the most notable
feature of the lumber trade situation
these days. The Gulf and Ship Island
road on one day recently made the re-

for the mill along its line. Other roads in
