pHnIpP1NE LUMBER.

A circular recently issued by the Bureau of Forestry of the Philippines says: Manila is the principal lumber market of the Philippine Islands. Here are located five of the most important mills. Timber is being shipped to them from all parts of the islands. The com bined maximum daily output of the five mills Is about 90,000 board feet a day. One mill has capacity of 30,0O0 board feet, two of 10000 and two of 10000 each a day.
 During the early operation of the mills in Manila they had to contend with numerous difficulties. Filipino la- labor was unreliable; many of the hardwoods were difficult to saw and 1t was impossible to secure a sufficient regular supply of logs from the pro- vinces. Conditions have improved, however, in the last two years and the mills are now operating in very sat isfactory manner. They now saw all commercial woods without difficulty and are depending more and more upon their own cuttings to supply logs to meet their requirements. With proper training the Tilipinos are found to be apt ill handling machin- cry Two mills have recently been run ming at night to fill orders
 Logs are bought and sold by the Spanish cubic foot. Lumber is bought and sold by the English thousand board feet. The price of logs fluctuateE from day to day A considerable amount of imported lumber, mostly Oregon pine and California redwood is still used in the islands. Besides those in Manila there is an increasing number of sawmills scattered througl the provinces. Many of these sawmill scattered through the provinces
 Many of these are small, with capaci ties ranging from 2,50O to 1000 board feet a day.
