CrOssties Wanted,
Even at High Prices
Savannah Dealers Report Heavy
Observation-Disclosures Pressed
to Keep Up to Demand.

SAVANNAH, GA, July 5.-With
crossties ranging at the highest price
levels of years, Savannah firms report
an unusual volume of business. The
woodsmen are hard pressed to keen
pace with the demand.
One OF the best contracts for cypress
crossties has been closed with the Gov
eminent, the ties being destined for
use in construction work in the Pan
ANA Canal Zone, and the American
steamship Jacob Bright reached port
Friday morning to load cargo. She will
sail early next week with 20 900 ties,
which were sold on a basis of 50 cents
each.
The railroads Of the North and East.
which have been experimenting with
oak and chestnut crossties, have found
them unsuitable and are rapidly re-
turning to pine.
The values now quoted are So cents
for standard heart ties of pine, while
sap ties are ruling at 3S cents. These
are the actual prices paid to cutters and
contractors.
More than 114OOO ties were shipped
out of the port of Savannah during the
month of April.
