exceedingly weak market most Of
the morning session. There was a
lack cf buying power at q time
when both liquidation and hedging
pressure was in progress and this
made the decline more severe.
There was q tendency to favor the
bun side Of the market after mid
day because prices at the low point
were on about four cents from yes
terdays top and this was believed
to be decline enough for one day.
However, those who were bullish
confined themselves to talking
rather than acting. There was .
better export demand for w9t at
the seaboard, one house rel 0kting
10 loads Of Manitobas and winters
worked for nearby shipment to the
United Kingdom. Milling demand
for wheat was only fair. Spring
wheat crop news was favorable,
the weather being favorable for
crop development. Offerings of new
wheat to arrive were only fair. ca
bles were weak. Sales Of 100, 900
bushels Of wheat were reported to
90 to store.
Corn was weaker in tone. The
break in wheat seemed to check
buying power and selling pressure
was mainly by commission houses.
Beneficial rains were shown over
many parts Of Iowa and there were
some rains over northern and
northwestern Illinois, according to
private reports. Receipts are not
running so heavy as of late. There
is some export demand for corr
but the sellers are taking less mon
ey for the corn than they can get
by delivering it in the pit. Deliv-
cries Of $4,000 bushels we're made
on July contracts.
Oats were weaker. Liquidation
was on both by local and outside
longs while support was poor
Some precipitation over the dry
spots was noted. Shipping demant
was low.

Weakness in course grains was :
depressing factor.

day after department agents were
said to have traced the letters to
him by a popularity in the hand

after more than two hours of
questioning at police headquarters
by Inspector Grant, but then was
permitted to return to his home

letters. I may have got my idea
from reading of the GATH case Ga

anxious to see the children Of the
city provided for, and / thought

He declared, however, the in
spector added, that he never wen;

money to be delivered, and "would

TIMBER SALE ON
j. s. FORESTS IS
LESS THAN 1920
Decrease Is Due to InaCtiv-
ity Of Many Lumber Mills
Throughout State; 1922
Looks Like Active Year.

Timber sales business Of the U
s. forest service during 1921 in New
Mexico due to the general business
depression, showed a decrease of
nearly 80 per cent over that OF
1920, according TO figures just
compiled in the local district office
of the U. S. forest service.
During 1921 about 100000
feet of saw timber props, cordwood
and other forest products were sold
from the New Mexico national for
ests in 1929 sales, while in the year
before there were 2,453 sales, con-
sisting of over S5,000,000 feet Of
timber.
Commenting upon the figures
District Forester +. c. w. Pooler
said: Naturally the forest service
timber business suffered during the
1921 deflation period just like all
other business. In New Mexico,
most of our business is with small
operators who either run little
sawmills or are cutting mine props
or cordwood for local markets.
Many of these men were forced TO
suspend operations last year.
THE lumber market of the state
until recently was of course, very
poor and most of the little mills on
the national forests have been shut
down. Quite recently, however,
some of them have started to ope-
rate and / believe that before sum-
mer the greater part will be run
ming again.
1.-The mine-prop and cordwood
business has also fallen off to some
extent, although not as much as
the saw timber business. l also
before the year is over
Mr.. Pooler said that in addition
to selling timber, the forest service
allows settlers and residents on or
near the national forests to take
dead and down and certain kinds
of green timber fer their own use
free of charge. The use of the
forests for this purpose has almost
doubled during 1921, when about
10000 settlers in New Mexico
availed themselves Of the privilege
of securing free timber.
Most of this material consists of
fence posts, used by settlers to inn
prove their homesteads and cord
wood for fuel When reduced to a
board foot basis 1t amounted last
year in this state to 100000 feet,
The forest service is glad to see the
settlers use this privilege, especially
when they take dead timber, both
because of the financial assistance
to the homesteader and because
the material would otherwise rot in
the forest. In addition, taking this
material reduces the forest fire
hazard.
