With n little better supply of cars than they had lust week, the mill* at
Orange this week have been enabled to make a little better shipping prop*
resa and. If the supply would only continue, there would he no kick coming
from anybody. The trouble is, however, that the car supply Is Intermittent
and uncertain and shippers know not what a day will bring forth—a feast
or u famine. The majority of the shippers Interviewed last week seemed
pretty well satisfied with the car situation and were doing their best to load
out as much lumber as possible while the supply lasted, not knowing what
morning they would find the yards again hare.
The heavy rains have Interfered considerably with loading cars, espec
ly with planing mill stock, but car loaders have utilised every minute
that was hi 'ii feasible and have managed to keep the wheels moving pretty
'Ively.
There Is little to say of the market situation This Is the particular time
of the year that might be termed "between seasons." when consumers are
mt usually buying as much lumber as at other seasons, because they are
busy with their crops In the farming sections, and this Is the time that
speculation enters largely Into the matter of buying and selling lumber,
(taring this "between seasons" time Is when the brokers get busy and In
(lulge In all sorts of spurring matches with the manufacturers In an effort
to buy lumber at this or that price under the market—Just as a speculation
—knowing that If the market goes up they make big money and. if the mar-
ket goes down, they can probably cancel the greater number of orders that
have been placed,
This, however, Hues not disturb manufacturers at Orange to any extent
JtiBt now, for those who have been seen this week by the lumber reporter
state that, under present conditions of their stocks, they prefer not to do
any dickering at all. When asked for quotations, they quote the market
price. If this suits, well and good; the lumber Is shipped. If not, still well
and good, for they can go ahead and fill the hack orders now on their
hooks, HU up the broken assortments In their yards and be prepared for the
fall season with splendidly assorted stocks In prime condition and In shape
to capture the cream of the good business,
(Jrop reports from the Northwest indicate that (Kisslbly a seventy per
cent wheat crop will be harvested In Kansas this year Those who are
keeping in close touch with conditions state that a 70 per cent wheat crop
this year will mean as much or more money value to the farmers than the
full crop of last season; hence, there will be no cause for a weakening any-
where along the line in the lumber market.
As has been the case all along, saw bills are plentiful nnd there Is no lack
of business to keep the saws humming up to the limit of their capacity.
The high water and continued heavy rains are Interfering with running
timber and getting logs out of the woods, but all of the mills are well sup-
plied and (here Is an abundance of timber to keep things going.

The
F. H. Wilson, Inspector for C. B. Wilcox, Is in Orange looking after some
heavy shipments of export material going forward for that shipper
J. W. Link, general manager of the Mlller-LInk Lumber company, re-
turned this morning from an extended visit to New Orleans and other points
in Louisiana on business for his company.
J. C, Caruthers, representing the Carter Lumber company of Houston, was
an Orange visitor during the week, spending a day here calling on the locaf
lumber manufacturers and placing some orders for material.
Orange Lumber company's big saw milling plant has been In full
all this week, after a shut down of several days on account of
high water, and things have been very active around that big plant
The big schooner James Pierce Is now at Sabine Pass taking on a cargo
of lumber from the Lutcher £ Moore Lumber company for Philadelphia,
The barges Panama, Cuba, Sabine and Perry were all sent down to her this
week loaded with material which will go Into her cargo.
The work of rebuilding the holler house at the lower mill of the Lutcher
4k Moore Lumber company has been completed and the plant will resume
operation next Monday morning, prepared for a long continued run. The
high water has been Interfering somwhat with things about this plant, but
It is thought the waters will bo receded sufficiently for operations to begin
again Mopday.
C. R. Wilcox, the Lake Charles exporter, Is preparing to load another
ship at Port Arthur, and for that purpose is assembling a cargo of primes
and sawn timber from mills at Orange. The Mlller-LInk Lumber company

pany Is also Bending down timber, as well as the barges Mexico and Barnes
loaded with primes for this ship.
The Orange Iron Works are now engaged in winding up a contract for
the construction of twenty narrow gauge logging cars for the Baldwin Lum
her company at Baldwin, La. One shipment has been made already and
remainder of the cars will be finished up and shipped out within the n
few days. The Orange Iron Works have attained an enviable reputation
car builders and have supplied a large number of logging cars to
tram roads In Texas and Louisiana.
