 Pensacola, Fla. Nov. ts--(Special.l- l-- Owing to the lack of demand for lurn- Der and timber. fully nine-tenths of the small saw mills in what Is known as the Pensacola district. have closed down, throwing an immense number of men out of employment.@
 Several of the large mills are antfct- pating closing, while those which will not close will operate on reduced ex- penses. With on&y one or two except ions the large manufacturers are re- vising their wage scales. and cuts of from 10 to 20 per cent in salaries will be made in the near future according to present expectations.
 Reports reaching sthe citv are to the effect that for several months iniIls have been operating at but little profit, and snow there Is no profit whatever. On tie other hand there is loss for all lumber manufactured. Many of the mills have been cutting for the interior trade, but the recent financial disturb ances destroyed this demand complete Iy and the mills were forced to close for an indefinite period.
 Exports at present are lighter than they have been known in four or five years, while the export timber market is weaker and prices lower than have been known in the same period of years. Similar conditions exist at all other ports. according to information received here. and 1t is not believed the market will show any improvement before 1908.
