First Come,
First Served
In brief this is animal etiquette.


Whether you would call it etiquette or lack Of et-
quete, the idea quite well illustrates the action certain
economic forces applied to lumber prices when that IN
dustry stepped to the toboggan few months ago.
Being one of the first commodities to start The
downward Slide and therefore having plenty Of time in
which do the Job WE'LL the descent not hurried but
it has been thoroughly accomplished
The wholesale prices Of some kinds Of lumber during
the period positively abnormal and as result
experiencing the greatest reduction Other kinds
that less unsteady will, Of course be less affected
Lumber prices have undoubtedly reached a level
too low for present conditions. The pendulum ot prces
has apparently swung past center.
The selling price Of certain woods is unqucston-
ably below the cost Of production. In only way
such prices be maintained and that is by reduction ii
the Of manufacturing, sufficient to make produc
ton profitable.
1t is our opinion carefully formed that i Is inn
possible for the present in the future to reduce
the cost sufficiently make present mill prices profitable
to the operator Such being true cannot but feel that
spring bring stiffenng in prices any change
These publications are prepared and supported BY
the lumber dealers Of Wilmington and vicinity.

BERLIN. Sept. 30.-The approach

This newspaper said 1t was in

pressure against Germany, provided
that the United States, which holds
the key TO the whole situation, begins

evident circumstances are rapidly
