Many holdings in Brazil which have

are now being worked and made pro-

LUMBER AND WOODWORKING.

Secretary A. w. Cooper has mailed
to members of the Western Pine Man
ufacturers association the monthly
report of lumber shipments and cut
for October, 1916, as compared with
October, 1915. This year 80 mills
reported as compared with 3s year
ago. The cut for the month exceeded
the shipments by 2O,432, 1896 feet.
improvements installed this winter
in the mill of the Milwaukee Land
Co. at st. Joe, Idaho, will increase the
capacity of the plant from 100000 feet
for a 2O-hour shift to 100000 feet.
The company's logging during 1917
will amount to 4O,000,000. feet, an in
crease of 100000 over that of 1916
when unsettled market and labor
conditions existed.

Oranges-The waning of the Val
encia season and increase in the Ma
val supply has caused a shaking up
in quotations this week. Fancy Val
encias are frmer at S5@5.50, with
the choice remaining at $3.50. Ma
walls, both choice and fancy, eased off
some, the latter quoting at $3.50
$3.50, and the former at S3.50Q3.75.
Other Fruits-Lemons are firmer
this week, with fancy quoted at 1918
@6 and choice $3.50. Grapefruit is
off soc at $4.50@5, while eranberries
are firmer at S11 per barrel and S3.75
per box. Huckleberries are up 219c
at 12c. Grapes, with the exception
of kegs, are out of the jobbing mar
ket.
Potatoes-Irish spuds still hold at
so locally, while sweets are up Csc at
SO. The potato market at both New
York and Chicago showed an easier
feeling with a drop of about sc at
the latter point.
Other Vegetables - Radishes, Cali
fornia stock, are quoted at 40@50c
per dozen. Cucumbers are firmer at
S1.25@1.50 per cwt. Carrots are OFF
csc at $1.25, while green peppers are
up &C at 16c per pound.
Grain, Flour and Feed.
Wheat-A sharp decline in wheat
has been the most notable feature IN
developments during the close of No
vember.
Flour-Responsive to the decline il
wheat, patent flour is wobbly and the
market is in an uncertain position
awaiting the trend of fluctuations
with trade holding rather quiet.
Feed-Mill feed has shown further
advances, but in other directions there
have been no radical changes in the
line of feedstuffs. Trade is steady
but undoubtedly restricted by thu
high prices.

latest activities of the undersea boats.

AN ATTITUDE OF
NORTHCLIFFE PAPERS ROAR
Appointment Of BaIfour and Cecil 10
Cause of Protest--Asquith Resign
ed When He Laerned Of Com
bine to Exclude Him.

London.-Recent events emphasized
the fact that David Lloyd George,
the new premier, has split the liberal
party into two factions. The new
cabinet will command more support
from the conservatives in parliament
than from the liberals.
The Ideal conference pledges itself
to support the new government, but
the old party leaders will occupy in
the house of commons a place OF
friendly opposition and criticism.
BaIfour and Cecil Raped.
Nearly all the antagonism the new
administration is meeting comes from
members of the liberal party and from
liberal newspapers, although Lord
Northcliffe. who has been one of Pre-
mier Lloyd-George's strongest advo-
Gates, made a strong protest today in
the Evening News when the appoint
ment of A. ]. Balfour and Lord Rob
ert Cecil to the foreign office was re-
ported. His newspapers have been
listing Balfour as one of the "senlle
statesmen" and attack Lord Robert
on the ground that his management
of the blockade has shown more con-
sideration for the interests of neutral
nations than for British interests.
A large section of the liberal party
remains faithful to Premier Asquith
and looks upon Lloyd George as
party wrecker, and denounces the
methods by which he achieved power
Old Cabneteers Scored.
Criticism is freely made of the ole
cabineteers that they were too i'm
portant to listen to their followers.
The chief comment on the recent
liberal conference is that Mr.. AS
quith consented to meet the RAM
and file and discuss party interests
only when he was leaving office. The
newspapers complain that he ha'
been deaf to former appeals to taxi
his followers into his confidence.

are declared to be in proportion to
the number of prisoners. The booty
taken by the Teutons is reported as
''incalculable"
The fate of the Rumanian armies
is in doubt, but they continue to re-
treat before the Teutonic allies. The
Russians again have launched strong
attacks on the upper Moldavian and
Transylvanian frontiers, but the ma
jority OF them are reported to have
failed with heavy losses. Some ground
was gained, however, north of Dorns
hostile forces also from two heights

oners and machine guns. The battle
south of Javornitza in the wooded
Carpathians has ceased and the Rus
slams have retired to their entrench
ments. In consequence of the retreat
eastward of the Rumanian troops
Russian troops on their left flank
also have been compelled to retire.
A most interesting feature of the
Rumanian campaign from a German
standpoint has been the spectacular
work of the new armored automobiles
evolved soon after the advent of the
British tanks on the Somme front
but which the developments in Ru
mania have shown to be a vast i'm
provement in efficiency over tn,
