Mobile, Jan. Especial l--It Is
probable that the Vinegar Bend lumber
Company will not secure the cenvicts
of Mobile County after all, as the Board
of Revenue and Road Commissioners
may turn down the bond made by the
company and signed by an individual
when Il was stipulated that the bond
should be signed by . surety company.
When the convicts were awarded the
lumber company there was a great
amount OF argument N the Board meet
ing. several of the Commissioners not
approving the awarding Of the con-
victS to the Vinegar Bend Company on
the ground that they had not paid for
them for last year. A stipulation Of
the award to them, however, was that
they secure the signature OF q surely
company to their contract.
The matter was turned over to an
attorney to secure the bond companys
signature last Friday. but this morn
ing he returned the contract to the
County Treasurer signed by an indi-
vsdual bondsman.
The matter will be brought up at the
next meeting Of the Revenue and Road
Commissioners and will receive nnal
disposition.
The Board decided to allow thirty
days more in which the Vinegar Bend
Lumber Company could make the scre-
ty bond.

yohn Denham. $50,

Pensacola. Fla. Jan. "a Especial -
Marked Improvement is noticeable n
the sawn timber market at this port,
and the demand. which has heretofore
been on, has shown such an improve
ment that II Is anticipated that many
OF the saw mills which closed several
months ago on account OF low prices
and unsatisfactory conditions, will open
IN and commence cutting again.
Today the market reached the high
est notch II has attained for nearly q
year. sawn timber sellingNat 20 l-2 and
"a cents per foot on basis Of 4D-foot
averages This shows gain of about
6 cents per foot during the past eight
weeks, and 1t Is believed will continue
to advance. as the production iss now
not equal to the demand.
Two months ago timber of 30-foot
average and DIP was selling at Is cents
per foot with but little demand. and
the smaller averages were not In de-
mand at any price. Whether or not the
demand Is one that has been caused by
the advance Of the foreign market or
just through contracts made by local
exporters, which are necessary to be
fflled Is not known, but 1t is the gem
eral belief that the foreign markets
have advanced correspohdingly. and
that purchases now being made are
upon new sales by exporters.
