PRICES ARE HOLDING
THEIR OWN; ARE FIRM
Market Has Been Sluggish, With a
Tendency to Drag, Although the
Last Week Has Shown An Improve
ment Over This Condition-Busi-
ness Is Somewhat Better Than Last
Week-Trade Still Optimistic.

Considering the disturbing elements
which the lumber market is facing.
the situation during the last week
can be called satisfactory in a meas
ure, but not exactly according to what
yellow pine operators would like to
see.
No encouraging gain has been re-
ported, but a feature that has drawn
particular interest has been an in
crease in small one and two carload
lots, invariably demanding quick ship
ment. Some business has developed
during the week for timbers, some di-
mension and low grades. Prices are
apparently holding their own, with a
firm determination on the part of mill
men to keep stiff price front. Pur
chases of car material during the
week has developed some strong re-
ports and railroads are said to be
ready to get in the market for some
good orders, in addition to those al
ready placed for quick delivery.
Market sluggish.
The market is rather sluggish, show
ing a tendency to drag, although the
last few days of last week showed
some improvement over this condition.
although it has not yet recovered to
a basis around which it hovered ten
days ago. Inquiry is not as brisk as
il has been, but there is still fairly
good volume making itself manifest.
Business as a whole is somewhat bet
ter than last week, but it has not yet
recovered the ground lost when the
buying stopped, with threatened in
ternational complications. The upset
was unfortunate, as a good business
was being developed, when the un-
certainty of national conditions caus-
ed a bad slump.
The trade is still optimistic leaning
towards the belief that there will be
an improvement, rather than a feel
ing of pessimism.
Some Advances Made.
Prices are still maintaining their
level, and mills report that advanced
price lists are being met by the trade
These advances, however, are neglig-
ible, showing only so cents here and
there, with an increase on certain
items as they grow scarce in stock.
An interesting feature of the week
has been reported sales of four and a
half million feet of decking to rail-
roads for car repairs. This material,
according to report, will be used in
putting in order numerous "bad or
der" cars which have lain in the side
tracks since the depression last fall. 1t
is said that there are in the neighbo3
hood of 5000 bad order cars in this
section alone in addition to the cars
in service which need repairs.
J. A. Jones, inspector of the Weber
bee Lumber Company, has been buy
ing timber near Lauderdale, the COM
pany proposing to erect two sawmills
in that section.
The sawmill and planer of w. w.
Hall of Longview was totally destroy
ed by fire on June Is. The plant was
a complete loss. No insurance was
carried.
Reports from Laurel state that the
Marathon mill at Laurel closed down
during the latter part of last week
for the first annual overhauling of its
machinery.

While not every girl can aspire to

The Old Plaid Shawl

Not far from old Kinvarra in the
merry month of May,
When birds were singing cheerily
there came across my way,
AS If from out the sky above an
angel chanced to fall,
A little Irish colleen in an old plaid
shawl.
She tripped along right joyously. a
basket on her arm,
And OH her face, and OIL, her grace,
the soul of saint might charm;
Her brown hair rippled DER her
brow; but greatest charm Of
all
Was her modest blue eyes beaming
meath her old plaid shawl.
/ courteously saluted her, God save
you miss!" said l;
God save you kindly, siri" said she
and shyly passed me by.
Off went my heart along with her.
a captive in her thrall,
Imprisoned in the corner Of the old
plaid shawl.
Enchanted with her beauty rare I
gazed in pure delight,
Till round an angle of the road she
vanished from my sight,
But ever since | signing says as 1
that scene recall,
"The grace of God about you and
your old plaid shawl
Oh! graceful the mantillas that the
signorinas wear,
And beautiful the bonnets of Partisan
ladies fair;
But never cloak, or hood or robe In
palace, bower or hall,
Clad half such witching beauty as
that old plaid shawl.
I've heard Of highway robbers that
with pistols and knives,
Made trembling travellers yield them
up their money or their lives:
But think Of me that handed out my

To simple little colleen with an old
