Lumber Business in Florida
Is Steadily Improving

indicate that while in the aggregate
these losses were large, in most in
stances they amounted to only few
thousand dollars at most, but tied
up operations for several days at
many Teas mills. These storms AMI
rains caused some slackening of
business where they were most Sc
we're, particularly in southeast
Texas and at st. Louis, though the
havoc they wrought is followed b.
brisk local demand for lumber for
repairs. Heavy rains in eastern Mis-
souri,, Illinois and Indiana, also
caused some crop damage. especially
wheat and oats, cut and awaitins
threshing. However, better weather
is reported from the Kansas City ter
ritory and to the norwest. and in
creased demand from the retail
yards of that section is reported by
Louisiana and Mississippi mills. The
corn crop everywhere is in COOL
shape, as is also cotton. The crop
prospects on the whole are excel
lent. but retail dealers are still gov
erning their purchases very largely
by local crop conditions Demand
from Tennessee and Kentucky yards
is fair, as is also the call from Ohio
and western Pennsylvania
On the whole the Southern manu-
facturers are more optimistic il,
every way than at any time this
summer. Mills in the Georgia-Flor-
ida territory are said to have about
all thebusiness booked that they can
carry at the present time. While
. coastwise business with them has
been fairly good all summer, and Is
somewhat better now, inland ship
ments by rail have shown sharp in
crease. The best demand reporte
/; by the Southeastern mills is that
i from the arilroads for car material,
! ties and construction timbers. This
is also the basis of large proper
tion of the business of the South
/ Mississippi and Louisiana mills. EX-
port demand continues fair, par
ticularly from South America, but
shipping space becomes daily more
scarce and is already cutting eX-
ports down to a minimum even be-
fore the grain and cotton movement
, gets under way.

The Southern Lumberman, Nash
Vile, enn., this week says regarding
yellow pine lumber market condi-
tons: Yellow pine is steadily in
CT easing in price strength, and
orders actually booked this
week are scarcefully in excess of tho
volume recorded last week. inquiries
are more numerous and the business
placed has been at better figures.
Nearly all the large manufacturers
have issued new price lists since
August /, and some have instructed
statesmen to quote advances on lists
issued during the past ten days.
These advances, especially on items
on which livestock of the particular
mill is getting low, are being firmly
maintained. Reports received this
week show adances on No. COM
mon flooring, on finish and on 1xi,
No. common fencing. Advance on
finish varies according to grade and
sizes though all grades above C have
shown some increase in value. This
strengthening in prices, and in con-
fidence of the manufacturers in hold
ing out for them, is not confirmed,
however. to any special items on the
list. Though advances over quota
tions made last week are not war
ranted on other items as yet, re-
ports from a large number of mills
shown items here and there for
which higher prices are being OBJ
tained by that individual mill, due
to scarcity of stock or particular de-
mand for that item in that locality.
Stimulated Buying :.
While this bullish tone to the
market has stimulated buying by
middle Western retail yards, it
seems to have retarded PURCHASING
in the East to some extent. While
no decrease in demand is reported
from the astern markets, and prices
are also reported stonge there, the
volume of movement seems to have
been somewhat less in that section
than during the previous week.

SELECTS CLEVER CAST
 FOR QUEEN ESTHER
Oriental Splendor to Mark Production
 Of Opera, Oct. 7th and stn.

Rehearsals for Queen Esther still continue to hold the attention of the singers of ketchikan to such an ex- tent that 45 of them meet each even ing and from the interest they have shown in the opera 1t is an assured fact that this will be the greatest musical and dramatical production ever given by our local singers. Through the efforts of Director Robinson, the singers have been brought to degree of perfection in their respective parts as is seldom heard in a home talent production.
 The Ketchikan Lyceum, under whose auspices the opera is being prepared. has been fortunate in securing the leading singers for solo parts and the excellence of the chorus is surprise to all who have heard any of the re- hearsals.
 One Of the most pleasing features Is the scarf dance introduced at the ban quet scene in the fifth act. This dance is performed by seven young ladies in bright and attractive costumes and never fails to bring rounds of applause from the audience.
 The following is a complete cast of characters and participants:
