Lumber Cut Increasing.

Denver-The lumber cut of the
United States in 1920 was 33,79s, ,S00,-
900 feet, which is 2.2 per cent less
than in 1919, and 81 per cent less than
the peak In 1907.
The average price of lumber at the
mill increased to S3S42 per thousand,
which is raise of $50 per cent since
1910. The aggregate value Of the cut
is 81 ,299, 100000. These are the high
est annual valuations ever recorded,
but do not Indicate present conditions
They merely reflect the extremely
high peak In the postwar lumber
prices which was passed in the first
quarter of 1920.
These are the principal statls-
tics obtained by the Forest Service.
U. S. Department of Agriculture, in
its 1920 canvas of American sawmills.
They are based upon reports from 49,
97S active mills out of %, 243 estitnnt-
ed to have been in operation. Several
thousand mills cutting less than 5O,-
600 feet were not tabulated, though al
lowance was made for their cut Com
parsons with 1919 are published by
permission of the Bureau of the Cen
sus, U. S. Department of Commerce.
The tables show that the states
which increased their cut are all in
the Pacific Coast group and the Rocky
Mountains.

DENVER LIVE STOCK.
Cattle.

The local market is considered ideal
for buyers at the present time. Good
sized runs have been received daily and
stock has been piling up on salesmens
hands. At the same time values have
been weakening gradually and are now
at a level which will enable buyers to
secure what stock they want at good
figures.
Fat cows and heifers are in fair de-
mand. Quotations on the former range
from $3.50 to 81 and good heifers sell
around - or $3.50.
Beef has not been over plentiful. but
the demand for such stock is not real
strong at present Good light beeves
of q well-turned class will meet with
a quick movement almost any day. but
the rangy, Inferior cattle are not want
ed. and statesmen find them a drag on
their hands.
Beef and feeder steers are being
quoted at about the same levels now.
Quotations range from $3.50 to IS. with
the possibility that the desired kinds
more.
The run of hogs received was Of good
size and quality ruled fair. Trading
lasted only a short time after the mar
ket opened. Demand for stock of all
classes is good here, and hogs weigh
an exceptionally strong demand from
day to day. Shippers are always es-
sured of quick turnover of their
stock Dy coming TO thlh market.
Denver's market Is gradually swing
ing into line with those OF the East.
Top hogs here sold for 1855 and bulk
ranged from s5.75 to s6.75. Best hogs
sold from 1856 TO $6.75 in the East.
The predictions of traders that the bot
tom had not been reached was fulfilled
when the eastern centers reported fur
ther declines ranging anywhere from
Is to 35 cents.
Although the supply of feeding lambs
was OF fair size, including some rather
attractive animals. the trading In that
section, too. was very quiet. Dealers
could not get together on the sales
price Statesmen were holding out for
steady prices while buyers were seek
ing stock at much lower figures.
The iull in trading was partially at
tributed to conditions in the East
where values were falling rs cents
lower. Local dealers were not dis
posed to release their stock at these
figures and buyers. for the most part
were content to hold off in their pur-
chases Packers wore not in the yards
in full force. but one of the principal
sales-that of two cars of yearling
wethere, weighing 101 pounds. al
3b.75-was a packers deal.

ST. PAUL. Mimi. March 22.-St.
Paul and Minneapolis credit men,
physicians for the financial ills of

mercnants Of North Dakota through
their present crisis. The credit men
reached their decision after a care
full survey of conditions in the North
state, which ended with a confer
ence with business leaders at Grand
Forks.
st. Paul and Minneapolis merchants
have millions Of dollars tied up in
credits in North Dakota. Financial
conditions in the North state have
been such that jobbers considered it
advisable to send their credit men
into the state to determine what their
future policy should be.

The credit men went into the state
alarmed, but returned with a differ

They learned that the state is sound
and that while there are various un-

Wool Growers Heartened.
Word from Washington lately has
heartened the wool growers and the
stock men. though little optimism
prevails among the cotton growers.
However. the wool growers are just
about to harvest a new crop of wool
to add to last years, which they still
have on hand. But the ray of hope
for them exists in a message from
their Washington representative that
an emergency, though limited, tariff
is favored by many republicans.
In the past week timely rains have
fallen in the grain belt OF Texas,
which have discounted the falling
market somewhat The acreage in
wheat and oats is the largest the
state has ever known and the gen
eral condition of the growing crops
was never better.
