, While there la nothing very definite on which to bate a
thla week as retard cbangesinthe situation, there la a feeling in
that the business la Just on the eve of a very marked change for
ter. Thla applies especially as to price . It la a well known fact that
several weeks past P*l«es bkve been unstable, and some of the
ceras, even, were going into the m#rket and accepting business at
that fallía that were endeavoring to do business on a profitable basis
not meet and thus demoralising the market to a very large
This week one of the largest producing companies In the
sent out a circular, letter advising that It would be the policy "* '
pany now to base all quotations on the October 12th list and ,
counts from that list. .
We understand that a large number of the big producers
In since and announced a almllar policy. The October 12th list:
two dollars per thousand more than the prices at which lumber
selling during the past few weeks.
Tt occurs to us now that if any great number of thflPj
adhere to this policy of baaing quotations on the October list and
no discounts, It should have A very beneficial effect.on the lumli
generally. -
Such an action ifpuld stimulate buying on the. part of the
aii soon as they realise that a stable market has been fixed and
probabilities are that prices, will advance instead of going lower
will cope Into the market good and strong, for nono of them want
caught with low stocks, while prices are advancing, thus giving the
buyer a big advantage over his slower competitor.
This is the moat satisfactory feature of the situation that this
ha* seen for some ime. When pricee are fixed on a basis, even
values be lower than have prevailed at times In the past, It la very mi
better for the lumber trade, both from the standpoint of the manufacturer
and of the retailer, tor it removes that element of uncertainty as to value Si
that always kills the lumber business.
Local manufacturers report that they are consistently holding out for
better prices and, while they have not booked any great amount of buelne
they feel that their policy la the best, for they are manufacturing the verjr|
beat lumber that is paade and when the demand opens up at prices that are'
satisfactory they will be in position to handle their full share of the
business. '
One manufacturer reported today that.'he had received a large
of Inquiries during the past week from points in the north and east and !
booked some nice business, the material to be shipped to the North
lantlc coast, and with this special business coming in at a lively rate." 1
feel that the general demand Is sure to open up at a very early date,
■No transactions af particular Importance have heen noted In the
of railroad business thla week. Press reports state that some large
tracts for ties may not be placed here, hut they will be placed somewi
in the yellow plné district and will l^elp to bolster up the market.
Inquiries for export material continue to come In-and local
erturs report that the outlook tor thla trade la very much brighter
has been.. It Is anticipated!'that the mills In this section which cater
export trade and are favorably situated for caring for it, will do a
business in this line during the cOmfhg year than they have done tof
eral years past, the demand Is good for aa.wn timber, especially, and
. is quite likely that large shipments will go forward from Orange during tho
next tow months. • ,
¿r- — ; ■
Apropos of the agitation for placing lumber on the free list, the
r«oorter solicited an opinion from two of the local manufacturers tc
and both of them expressed themselves as being unalterably opposed
the removal of the tariff on lumber. Asked aB to the effect the removal
I the tariff would have on the lumber trade of this section, one of them stat
that It would force the Texas mills out of the northern market entirely
place them in the same position they were In during the panicky times
1893 to 18 «. The removal of the tariff on lumber, according to the .views
of local manufacturers, would be nothing less than disastrous to the luí
trade of this section and for this reason they do not especially appreciate
the activity shown by Mr. John W. Gateif lh "throwing .his Influence
In favor of the removal of this tariff, he having been widely quoted to thl
effect In the press during the past few days.
B. M. Talbot, of the Talbot-Dtihig umber Lcompany, of Lemonvllle,
an Orange visitor this week. Mr. Talbot states that they have decided
Install the new system of dipping the lumber with which several of the mil
have been experimenting for some time and which has proven to be a dc
cided success. Some of the local mills at Orange are also considering
installation of this system during the present year.
