LUMBERMAN EXPLAINS
WHY PRICE Is HIGHER
COST OF TRANSFORMATION Isss
INCREASED
Strike Of Sailors Said to BE Respon-
slble for Advance in Charges for
Conveying Products of Mills to the
Market

If the statements made yesterday by
w. r. Wheatley of the Consolidated
Lumber company are true, the reason
for the increased cost Of lumber to the
builder is not due to a lumber trust,
but to the increased cost of transport
ing the lumber to the market.
The pine forests from which comes
most of the lumber used for building
purposes are being rapidly cut down
and all the more rapidly for the reason
that with the passing OF each year the
demand for lumber becomes stronger
and more is necessary to supply the de-
mand
According to Mr.. Wheatley, the lum-
Der company which he represents Is
not making as much on the lumber
which il sells as II did last year, al
though the price Of Oregon pine of
which there is more sold than all the
other kinds combined, is almost twice
as great now as It was last season.
The owners Of the stumpage charge
higher prices for the logs than they did
last year and the cost of carrying the
lumber has increased on account Of
strikes Of sailors.

CantsIoupes, Peaches, Pears and

Boxes Of YeIIowtall and
Barracuda Arrive

On the produce exchange yesterday
there was some lively discussion on what
should be the jobbing price for local
ranch eggs. One dealer said the quota
tion of SOc was too high. He was prompt
ly answered to the effect that the market
is firm at 3Oc, consumers willing to pay
even higher prices for fancy goods.
At the call session Mr.. Mathews started
the call, and was doing well, when he
gave way to President Cole who finished
the job. Five cases of case count eggs
were sold. No change in official quo
Butter remains firm at quoted prices
Cooking butter was marked up to zoe t
pound, an advance of two cents.
Quotations on fruits were marked on
the blackboard as follows: Fancy Bart
lett pears, M.75; plums, Satsumas, $1.O0;
Tragedies, $l25; Peach, 75dS5c; Simoni,
$.00. Peaches, $100; watermelons, 11zc a
pound; cantaloupes, $150Q2.25.
Good local potatoes in sufficient guam
tity to supply the trade are difficult to
secure. Northern stock will meet the
demand.
Receipts Of yellowtail and other large
fish were heavy. Dealers had notified
fishermen to cease shipments, but they
do not obey orders, and the wholesaler,
much against his WILL Is forced to pay
express charges for stock that goes to
the dump in a few days. Small fish is
scarce.
Demand for poultry ic active, with
prices steady.
