plants White Pine for Building
Packing Cases.

The consumption of yellow pine
lumber has increased to such an ex-
tent that while the public is familiar
with its value for construction, build
ing operations. and packing cases.
very little is known as 10 the amount
of timber left standing. In a few
years the supply will be exhausted.
Short-leaf yellow pine, known IN
the trade as "Nortn Carolina pine. o
has taken the place of white pine to
such an extent that the latter has al
most disappeared from the market. In
1900. 80 per cent of the packing cases
manufactured were made of white
pine. This wood became so hard to
procure and increased in price so rap
idly that North Carolina pine came
into use.
At the present date 90 per cent of
the packing cases are made from this
wood.
When general business is good
throughout the country the demand
exceeds the supply. When crops are
abundant and the Middle West is pros
porous, so much of this wood goes 10
that part of the country that the mills
on the Atlantic seab BARD find il diff
cult to manufacture enough lumber to
supply the wants of dealers in Eastern
States.

SHORTENING Of
ALL KINDS HIGH
AND ADVANCING
Lard Sales Heaviest Ever Known
for Summer, Reports Whit
comb-Burke Brokerage Firm.

Our sales Of lard this summer are
above the high water mark of any
previous summer" says w. NJ. Burke,
manager of the firm of II. II. Whit
comb and Burke, No. 14g Madi-
son avenue, Atlanta's foremost brok-
ers of groceries. who represent in
his territory the largest Chicago pack
ers, acting as agents between them
and the big wholesalers.
Pure leaf lard is high, and advanc-
ing, yet we are kept busy filling or
ders for this grade. The advance is
shared, too, by compound lard, Of
which we are handling an ever-in-
creasing quantity.
The leading wholesalers, with
whom We deal report an excellent
volume of sales, and collections inn
proving right along. Business looks
good, with the outlook for fall very
bright.
I'VE can not speak for our com
petitors, but l suppose they, too, are
noticing the heavy lard sales, and the
general improvement in business"
General activity both of cotton seed
oil and lard has caused an advance
in price all around, and has led to a
peculiar situation wherein it has be-
come possible to reimport cotton seed
oil from abroad.
Chicago packers. according to adj
vices to Mr.. Burke, imported $4,000
barrels of cotton seed oil from
Europe finding it cheaper to do this
than to buy the oil in the United
States, where, Of course, il origi-
mates.
At the same time, compound lard
has increased in cost from Use TO
10 5-Sc, this representing the price the
wholesaler pays, Pure leaf lard has
advanced from lie to II 3-4c. Sales
Of lard have jumped to a figure I'M
precedented in any previous summer,
despite the high prices, which are at
tributed, in part, to the increased de-
mand, in part to the shortage Of cot
ton seed oil, and last, to the rising
quotations on hogs.
I'VE are having an unusually good
trade in canned goods, too" says M
Burke. Summer is the canned goods
season. Out of mercy to the cook
these hot days, the stay at homes are
eating timed meats, Picnics, camp
ing parties and the militia also help
to move our lines Of these products.
THE militia encampments at St.
Simons, for instance, sent in heavy
orders for pork and beans roast beef
and corned beef These military out
ings really are an important factor in
our summer canned goods trade.
Canned fruits are opening higher
this season. Libby, Mcneil & Libby,
whose account we handle, advise US
in a circular letter that the quality Of
this years crop in California is high,
but that the yield is somewhat short. "

$4,000 INVITED
TO TAKE PART
IN CONVENTION
More Than 100 Speakers Asked to
Discuss Problems of the
Southern Merchant.

OF all the conventions which come
TO Atlanta, there is probably none
which is of more importance to the
city in a business way than the
Southern Merchants Convention,
which will be held during the first
two weeks in August, and which is
promoted by the Atlanta Merchants
and Manufacturers Association.
Taklng advantage of the fact that
Dixie merchants come to Atlanta in
large numbers at that time, in order
TO buy their fall stocks from the big
wholesale and manufacturing houses
of the city, the association has devel-
oped this gathering into an organized
convention, which serves the twofold
purpose Of entertaining these bust
ness guests of the city, and also of
helping them to overcome the diff
culties which they meet in the pur-
suit of commercial success.
1t is of inestimable benefit to bust
ness men when a number Of them
can get together and talk over their
problems. The association has ar
ranged for more than 100 speakers,
drawn from the ranks of the mer-
chants themselves, who will present
these everyday problems as they have
come up in their own businesses.
Every merchant will be invited to
take part in the discussion, and in
this way the good results which have
been gotten by one man will be given
to all for their combined benefit.
The time OF the convention has been
well provided for. In the daytime
there will be enough discussion to
give every merchant the fullest pos
sible benefit. But there will be
enough time left for the visiting
amongst the wholesale houses which
every merchant will want to do.
Then there are barbecues, recep-
tions, dinners, theater parties and
baseball parties all arranged for, at
all of which the merchants will be
the guests Of the association. Every
merchant in Dixie is cordially invited
to come to this convention, and ample
preparations are being made to care
for them all.
Secretary Moore has sent out over
10000 invitations. and the man who
doesn't come and take advantage of
this splendid opportunity will have
only himself to blame.

of great beauty, and other sections
are taking to it quicker than the
people right at home.
In the furniture business, red gum
gives an example of this. In the
Southern Furniture Company dis
play rooms stand red gum pieces,
finished in imitation of mahogany.
1t is not eXaggeration to say that
red gum, properly finished, can not
be detected from mahogany except
by an expert, and he can not, at a
distance of two feet. The only diff
ference is that mahogany has a
minute, dotted grain, fine almost as
pin point, which red gum lacks.
This can be seen with the eye eight
or ten inches from the wood At a
greater distance, it becomes indis-
tinguishable.
Europe is buying great quaQti-
ties of this" says Mr.. Schwab.
America takes to It slowly. The
American likes to say that his fur
niture is solid mahogany. Another
piece, as beautiful, which no one
could tell from the real, and which
is solid, homegrown wood, durable
and beautiful, does not appeal to
him"
Designer an Autocrat.
The designer is the autocrat of the
furniture factory. His Office is in
the room where the display models
are made-but he is not always in
his office
He takes it easy" explains Mr..
SChwab
Interesting stories are told Of the
work of designing furniture Some=
times it entails a search through old
New England towns, and the pur-
chase of a broken down old bed
valuable only for it's design.
Then many factors must be con-
sidered. For instance. the develop
ment of the city fiat has made it
necessary to design sideboards and
dining tables of small size

Glassware Makers
Readjusting Prices
Have Been Selling Product Under
. Cost and Now Are Marking
Up Their Lists.

Prices on many lines of glassware
are to be advanced Immediately, but
only in keeping with the increased
cost of production Manufacturers
have been asking too much on some
lines and not enough on others, ac-
cording to The Crockery and Glass
Journal
Under the present plan It is pro-
posed to remedy Inc condition, lower
ing the items which have been listed
too high and bringing up the prices OF
those that have been sold below the
cost Of production. The two largest
manufacturers in the United States
have put new lists into effect, and
some of the smaller plants will follow
suit at once.
