New. Orleans Lumber Hits
Its Highest Point Record
BY 1. v. SHANNON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW ORLEANS. May 1.-THE de-
mand for lumber from the southern
mills has reached the highest point
ever attained. The industry has i'm
proved rapidly in the last few week s
and from one of the most depressed
has now become one of the most ac-
tive, At the beginning of the year
orders to the mills of the Southern
Pine Association totaled about So
100000 feet a week. Last week the
same mills received orders for 107.-
100000 feet. New business is run
ming about 35 per cent above produc-.
ton and the mills are far behind in
their shipments. Other encouraging
symptoms are the improvement-inz zex-
port demand and the rising, tendency
of lumber prices
The Spinners of the world are rush
ing to the south for cotton. for they
have been made uneasy by the set
back the new crop has had by reason
of bad weather and floods. Infor Ia
ton reaching here from the best pro-
ducing sections of the cotton belt in
dicate that the governments esti
mate on June will forecast short
yield. There is very little cotton to
be had in the interior and the prob
abilities are that the stocks will be
exhausted by the time the new crop
moves. The south is firmly convinced
that it will secure high prices for
this years crop.

JEWELRY DEMAND STEADY.

mond teweler reports a steady de-
mand for merchandise. with monthly
sales since January. averaging about
same. Business is running nearly
parallel to that of 1917 and 1918.
Popular priced goods are moving
with regularity, although demand for
gh-priced articles Is spotty. Rather
small but consistent call for items
is gradually wearing down the un-
comfortably heavy stocks which he
found on his. hands when the recent
depression began. Stocks. he says,
continued to be larger than normal.
Prices have not been reduced, al
though occasionally. he added. slight
concessions were made to close sales.

Rubber Trade Picks Up.

NEW YORK. May 1T.-Mechanical
rubber goods trade is showing slow
but steady Improvement. A leading
manufacturer described his business
as much better than in preceding
year, which he regarded as poorest
one for his company. and said mining
industry was its heaviest buyer. Or
ders from that field are largely for
rubber hose and betting. Demand
from rails Is broadening. He reports
brake hose. Improved demand Is
ascribed to increasing tonnage of
railroads, necessitating employment
of more cars. Prices. he said. were at
their lowest A continuation of i'm
provement, he believed, would sta
bilize prices.
