MEN HAPPY AGAIN Yellow Pine Timber
 Takes Jump. RISE OF THREE CENTS 4 FOOT And the Demand is Said to Be
 Strengthening. Average Price Of sawn Timber Is Now Around 2y cents---Lamber Mar-
 ket Is Not Quite So Healthy
 But Promising.

Not in many years were smiles so generally seen on the faces of saw mill men as now. The yellow pine sawn timber manufacturer has every right 10 feel happy as he has stood calmly by during the past week and seen the price of lis product run up three cents a foot and then hold its own.
 Whenever yellow pine timber reaches given height 1t has charming fac- ulty of staying there unless some tidal wave of depression comes along and dispiaces 1t. And they are cutting 1t right and left. the operators In South Alabama and West Florida. There Is always money, in an average price of 20 cents per cubic foot. What sensational somersault for the timber market! During the bot tom reign of prices the past year the operators were glad to dispose of their stun at i7 cents. That is acknowledged to have been the prevailing price at one time not twelve months back. The | market seemed woefully shot to pieces Mill men who had the reputation for optimism did not believe there would be q return of profits until after the election and maybe many months be- yond the election,
 But within fortnight prices were pushed up to an unexpected level. It Is due to the continued demand. That always controls, and. as remarked ear Her once the manufacturers get a good hold on the market as 1t now stands there Is little chance of It's recedins t6 hurt anybody.
 There has been no such sensational fIse in lumber prices. The Advances af several weeks ago, however. are being maintained and demand IS not falling on to near the extent that 1t might have been expected in the nervous ten. sion of aiite-election days inquiries are not So brisk as they have been at times. but every phase of the market Is working rather spasmodicaiiy. The wholesaler receives a very promising order now and may walt several days peat 1t seems to make up for lack of steady business.
 The situation in the lumber trade in this section Is pretty much as describ-
