LUMBER GOES
UP IN PRICE
-. -
MIR. LoMey Says It Will Not
Affect Honolulu Building
Operations

raise in the price Of lumber in
the Puget Sound district is announced
by the Coast papers. On July 90
new price list will become effective,
indicating an advance of 81 per thou
sand on uppers and so cents on COM
mon boards. 1t is stated that the.new
lists show that values have stiffened
considerably during the past month,
although they are still far below the
quotations that have prevailed on fr
lumber during normal times. ,
An analysis of prices according to
the new price and discount lists is
given by the Pacific Lumber Trade
Journal, which concludes as follows:
THE average selling price on s all
stock moved at some sixty mills in
August, 1910, was $13.73 In August,
1911, this average had sagged to
$ll .e5. On February 5;If912, the av-
erage selling price was $Td93, and If
the mills do not sell for less than the
figures represented on discount sheet
No. IA, the average selling price will
be about $11.68
IAN average selling price Of $116S
is not unparalleled prosperity
even unprecedented prosperity. The
average in 1907 was $I7.67 and that
represented the greatest prosperity Of
any period in numbering in fir terri
tory. In 1903 the average was $14.26;
in 1904 it was $11.76 and those famil-
lar with manufacturing and financial
conditions will recall with sickly
feeling just how much prosperity was
prevalent in the industry during 1908
and 1904. The average selling price
represented in discount sheet No. IA
is less than the average of 1903 and
erage in 1904. And in the meantime
everything that enters into the cost
of producing lumber has advanced" :
Advance In Honolulu.
Owing both to the raise at points
of production and an increase in
freight rates to. local dealers, there
has been an advance in lumber prices
in Honolulu. In reply to questions by
a Star-Bulletin reporter this morning,
Frederick J. Lowrey, president of
Levers & Cooke, Ltd, said: "
"On the first of July we raised our
prices here somewhat. There was an
advance in prices by the lumbermen
and in freight rates besides. It is a
question in my mind whether, in a
Presidential year, they can hold the
higher prices, However, we made a
slight raise on the first of July, on
account Of the raise which had al
ready taken place over there and of
the advance In freights.
IF they go higher we will have to
follow. The Increase on the Sound
is about ten per cent Whether the
higher rate for freight keeps up re-
mains to be seen. If both freight and
prices be maintained it will make a
considerable difference here. There
will not be any change made immedi-,
ately. 81: :
Il do mot think that the advance
will be enough to make any change
in building contracts. People have a
habit Of saying, when there is any
raise in the price of lumber, that
building operations will be checked.
This is a mistaken view. An ad-
vance of dollar a thousand only
means a difference Of fifty dollars on,
say, a $4,000 or $4,000 residence"

BUSINESS IS
LOOKING WELL

Dun's Review IN. W July 20: Pro-
gress,is in the right direction. A note
worthy incident this week is the de-
cline in prices, Of all grains, especially
wheat, which. was sharply depressed
by reports of exceptional crop adj
ysneemert in the Northwest. Ten
days will place the spring wheat crop
beyond danger from drought. Distribu-
ton in that section is in excess of
year ago, in important departments Of
trade from Is to 80 per cent. greater.
In the West, manufacturing plants are
busy and labor is we'll employed.
Higher wages, large pay rolls and
great activity in industrial lines mark
The. progress of events in the Pitts
burg district and stimulate all branch
es of business in that section. Labor
conditions as some New England
centers are still a disturbing factor. A
steady demand for cottons and wool
ems and enhanced cost of raw mater
ial make for a further hardening in
quotations. Scarcity Of labor and in
terruption through strikes restrict lit
tie additional businessT is noted in
footwear, but the trade is still delay
in: the placing of any considerable
Volume of business. Leather is more
active, and some large purchases have
been made in the New England mar
kets. Hides are also in greater de-
mard and prices tend higher. Traue
in the South and Southwest still
marks time. Inactivity and slow col
lections in that section are customary
az this season-the critical period for
the cotton crOp-but the progress OF
the week has been quite satisfactory
With industrial activity in the largest
trades assured. agricultural rrosDects
auspicious, and mercantile conditions
sound, there is less concern regarding
those economic and social problems
which have in the past served to I'M
settle business confidence and enter
prise. A widening spirit of optimism
is growing in all sections Of the coun-
try, in spite of the fact that this is
presidential year, when ordinarily
some reduction in the volume of eX-
changes might be expected. Bank

scarcity Of water and at the last nam

rains will come very shortly. There
have been scattered showers but the
season taking it right through has
been q very dry one. During the last
week or so the heat has been terrific
and during last week in Hilo 1t has

idents remember it. - s"
There are a great number of the

eruption of Mokuaweoweo as they say
that the weather is Just like It was
on previous occasions when the big

Besides being hot the weather has
been very oppressive, the clouds hang

SUGAR PRICES :, ::
COMING down

Willett & Gray's estimate of sugar
crops of the world, as of July %,
gives a grand total cane and beet
sugar 1891. 293 tons, against 1892
T9S last year, decrease of ILL., 500
tons. In their review of the raw
sugar market Willett & Gray eYince
belief that the prices of that date
will not be maintained. They say
in part: -
Centrifugals are unchanged from
last week at 4.05c. per h., although
during the week they sold off to
S.9S5c per 10. p tEs6i.fits
Beet sugar at lis. Cd. last week
moved from that quotation to lis.
I'D, to rs. SID, to rs. 6Ad., to
Us. at the close by the daily fiuctna,
rions, the operations on the exchange
being much less violent than preyi-
ously noted and the close showing
signs Of an end to the manipulation
against the. short interests. If SO,
the present crop prices of lbs. to 13s.
0Ad. and the new crop prices for
October December of los. Sd. will soon
show signs of coming together. The
present difference of two and a half
shillings Csc. per h. is entirely too
great to be sustained. for long, even
by strong manipulation. 8
The European beet crop prospects
are not entirely as unfayofable as
they are represented for speculative
purposes. Eastern Germany has no
doubt suffered from lack of rains, as
reported by r 0. LIGHTS cables to
US, but for Western Germany he re-
ports favorable weather. The east.
ern section raises about one-third of
the German crop. ~
Further westward, in France, Hol-
land and Belgium, no complaints are
made, France expecting to produce
nearly double the crop of last year,
which was very poor, while the other
countries named promise to be fully
up to last years crops, which were
fair to good last year From Austria
also the reports indicate quite salts
factory conditions, much improved
from last year.
There would seem to be no good
reason from. the crop standpoint Of a
long continuation of the present new
crop quotations, which are no doubt
alphabetically affected by the sugar
exchange tradings. .
After considerable buying here at
the 4.05c. basis sellers withdrew and
held firmly for 4.11c per lb. for their
moderate offerings, but at the close,
On finding that Europe hesitated in
it's advances, the offerings largely in
creased, and the outlook is now
against the realization of sellers pre-
tensions. At the close, owing to- a
sharp drop in Europe to LIS. SID. for
beet, buyers withdrew from market,
leaving unsold sugar at 4.05c.
Our refiners are we'll supplied with
raws for their requirements for some
time to come, and need not follow the
sellers upward views unless they
think it advisable to do so.

 Dr. Charming H. Cook, of Saint Louis, Mo-, says: "I have used your Castoria for several years past in my own family and have always found it thoroughly efficient and never objected to by children, which is g great consideration in view of the fact that most medi- cines of this character are obnox- ious and therefore difficult of ad- ministration.

 Dr. J. R. Clausen, of Philadel- phia, Pa, says "The name that your Castoria has made for itself in the tens of thousands of homes blessed by the presence of children, scarcely needs to be supplemented by the endorsement of the medical profession, but I, for one, most heartily endorse it and believe 1t an excellent remedy"
