Where Lumber Is Needed
Agricultural Districts Taking
More Than Industrial

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 3.-Demand for
lumber for new building is larger in
the agricultural than in the industrial
section, says this weeks lumber mar
ket review, published by Lumber
Generally the soft woods have shown
further declines in prices this week"
says the review. "and in the case of
yellow pine this is reflected in the open
quotations of number of mills whose
lists have been somewhat above the
current level. Many mills are suspend
ing operations in the Douglas fir re-
gions, late telegram estimating that
one-third of the mills are down This
message further predicts that only so
per cent of the plants will be in opera
tion two weeks hence unless the situa-
tion improves.
Hard woods are in no better de-
mand than has been shown for the last
several weeks, and though price
changes have not been important, de-
clining tendency is still evident, and
there is a frank attitude on the part
of many buyers of waiting for lower
prices. Purchases are limited to cur
rent needs. and there is no inclination
shown by industrial consumers to main
tain their stocks"

Silks

Raw silk prices during the last week

IN the finished goods division of the

COttOns

Although no new prices were named
last week by leading producers of cot
ton goods, prices, on the whole, were
weaker in secondary hands. Jobbers
were falling in line with the lower
price level and in some cases retailers
revised their prices in keeping with the
wholesale markets. The focusing of
public attention on lower prices for
cotton goods had an unsettling effect
upon the general market and the vol
ume of business booked was of small
proportions. Gray or unfinished goods
sank back from the slight gains of the
week previous, and in some cases fell to
new low levels for the year. Export
business continued dull.

Leather

Inactivity continued to prevail in
the hide, leather and shoe trades. The
published statement of President Boyd
OF the Armour Leather Company that
conditions in the trade were the worst
IN his twenty-five years experience,
was not striking news to leather men,
but it focused widespread attention on
the industry and slowed up what little
buying power that did exist Accord
ing to Mr.. Boyd the tanneries are run
ming on 30 per cent production scale,
with prospects of closing down com
pletely if conditions do not improve
shortly. The American Hide and
Leather Company issued a statement to
the effect that it was running on about
so per cent of capacity. The shoe trade
has not emerged from it's dullness, and
orders for fall and spring footwear are
being booked in extremely small quar-
titles Breaks in retail prices of shoes
were almost of daily occurrence last
week.

Some Improvement in the manufac-
turing OF fur garments was reported
by manufacturers last week, despite the
strike which has been running since
May. Production was placed at SO per
cent of normal by some trade leaders
and at 40 by others. Demand for fin
lshed tur garments also has increased
sllghtiy' causing some activity in the
raw SKIN end of the trade. Cloak and
suit manufacturers have been practi-
cally the only buyers of raw furs for
some months, having increased their
use of fur trimmings following the de-
cline in fur prices

Little change is noted in the jewelry

fair volume of business, but are not

price reduction, has alayed the fears
OF some of the smaller importers and

In a telegram to the Fairbanks Commercial club, Governor Thomas Riggs.

All of the territorial road funds have been allotted for the season.
 The wire states further, however, that Chairman Gotwals of the Alas ka Road commission and Territorial Secretary R. J. Sommers are plan ming a trip to Interior Alaska next month and that they will look into the road needs of the Kantishna at that time Chairman Gotwals, the Governor says, is quite interested in the Kantishna district and may find his way clear to spend some money for roads.
