1.-The name Universalist," he said, was
once anathema to all the orthodox. Now
the Universalist minister is welcomed
into other pulpits and the Universalist

New Orleans, lathe consensus
of opinion seems to be that the mark
ct is gradually attaining a healthier
tone and that the outlook is good for
return to normal activity on or
shortly after the first of the year. In
quiries are active, the call for factory
stock is better, the export demand is
materially improved and for car ma
terial and bridge and railway timbers
the market is better. The demand for
yard stock has shown little or no i'm
provement. Many of the mills report
bookings already made sufficient to
absorb their outturn for some time.
Prices are firmer and, while some
concessions are reported, the general
trend seems to be upward. Few COM
plants of unsatisfactory car supply
are heard thus far and the movement
is fairly heavy.

HAS GOOD EFFECT
Building. Operations Are Increasing
and the Demand For Lumber Will
Show Marked Gain at An Early
Date, 1t Is Believed.

Chicago, ILL.,, November 16.-The
American Lumberman has the follow.
ing reports from a number of the lead
| ing lumber markets with reference
to the trend of the yellow pine de
mand:
Chicago.-A steady increasing de-
mand for railroad and yard material
has charterized the yellow pine
trade this week. Car material and
dimension are the strongest items in
the yellow pine list, and an advance
in prices in these two items can be
looked for at almost any time. The
increased demand from railroads and
heavy building operations in the cities
is expected to strengthen the market
in timbers in the near future. At
present no changes in quotations are
reported. The feeling among yellow
pine men is much more optimistic
than at any time this year, and the
belief is that by January 1 normal
conditions will again prevail. Tim
bers and piece stuff have been selling
freely through the week and from in
quiries now out still better conditions
are looked for in the near future.
Southern mills are still having diff
ficulty in filling orders for mixed
grades, as their stocks in some items
are badly broken. Country yards are
buying in small quantities, but by Jan
uary or sooner are expected to begin
up for the spring trade. Box
are buying low grades
Of pine at concessions on large orders. !
Reports received indicate the car sit
iation in the south is fairly good, al
hough from some sections shipments
ire delayed. The general transporta-
ion situation is better than was ex
lected.

Toledo, Ohio.-With the exception
of some of the higher priced stuff, vel
low pine has held it's own, and reports
show increasing strength in some
quarters. The number of transit cars
is the most unfavorable symptom, but
this is not deemed serious. Prices
have been well maintained.

Kansas City. Mo.-There has been
no marked increase in the inquiry
for yellow pine since the election, ex-
cept for railroad material and car
stock. The railroads are coming into
the market more literally than for a
long time and 1t is believed that orders
for stock will be numerous and large
during the next thirty or sixty days.
The call for yard stock from the larg-
er places is more pronounced, but as
a rule retail dealers are buying con-
servatively, as the building season is
drawing to close. Yellow pine man
ufacturers expect Improvement in the
trade very soon. Prices are station
airy, with slightly firmer tendency,
and mills that before the election
were inclined to let their prices sag
have braced up and are moderating
concessions on surplus items. Lead
ing manufacturers say the market will
show a slowly rising tendency with

Mill stocks have remained stationary
during the last two months, in spite
of an increased production, indicating
that shipments have been fairly heavy

New York.-There is no falling off
in the demand, and while prices in
both long and shortleaf stocks are
believed to be going up pretty lively,
they are losing none of the recently
gained strength and there seems good

as the new year approaches. Floor

st. Louis, Mo.-A better feeling in
the yellow pine trade is due in large
part to the settled condition following
the election results. The volume on
Inquiries is stronger and there is
stronger selling movement. Prices
have not strengthened materially. but
all indications point to an early re
sumption of normal conditions. The
trade here does not expect much here
this year as the season is over but
great hopes are entertained for early
spring. Mills are working to replenish
their stocks, which are low and brok.
en-. 1t will take some time to accomp-
fish this. Retail inquiry and orders
are better, rejecting an improvement
in the rural situation. Everyone looks
for big country building season in
the spring. Factory demand has in
creased to some extent and the rail-
roads are coming to the front nicely.
The call for car material has been
heavy of late. Dealers expect a car
shortage, but no one can predict its
extent.

OUR FIRE cHles

ANY scrt of a review OF Guthrie
would be incomplete without somo
thing were said of our irc-chief. II
is well known fact that Guthrie has
one of the best fire departments in
the new state. Ii IS not blessed with
quite as much equipment as some but
what IL has Is good, and certainly 9o

better chief than w G. GrubeT He
presents a splendid example of What
a man can do, and the esteem hc can
command after he has done So His
first experience in the Guthrie fire De-
partment was as a volunteer, when
the department consisted of only a
bucket brigade lie came TO Guthrie
when one hgd to tramp out the grass
