The mill at Orange haVe had a quiet week, without any.
disturbing element. All of thenr have been in full operation.
Thanksgiving Day, when, fcitb one éaceptlon, all of them shut do*
day to allow their employees to take part In the general obearva
"«• " s ri ü' 4-m
Sales managers report that orders are being received In Just
same numbers.as kga bjieii' the castor the past two or three we
tallera are evidently buying only, for Immediate needs and walUng until
the first of the coming year, to fill (¡bell yards. There la nothing
In that,, for it ia always,the case. Dealers naturally prefer to have
stocks run down pretty low at the end of the year, bb their assessments i
taxes are based on stocks on hand ou the first of January—and none of
want to pay any higher valuattohs'thWh absolutely necessary.
For Uie above reasotr, sales manttgers do not anticipate any heavy mov
ment of lumber to the yards until .after the first 'of January. From
number of. tentative Inquiries thai hfcve been received, es(
of the big line yard people, manufacturer* have reason to believe t
demand duriyg the earjy montht of the coming year Is going to tax
pacity of the mills to supply and,rtc a movément of lumber will be Inaugu-
rated as has not been seen before for some time.
.¿i The only discouraging feature of the situation that^we have been able
tOf discover la the fact that there Hr still some disposition upon the part of ,
sime manufacturers In the Téxas-IJOUlslana district, to bear the market on
saw** )!! , it ts presumed; of',ttourse,,tbat any price cutting along this line
that IS being done, Is done by manufacturera who are compelled to have a.
few orders, regardless of vilues. However, it is not thought that this dis-
position ts sufficiently strong to very greatly disturb values and the trend
of the market will cotrtinue td tifiupward. > . ? n

next year la very bright. Tttb faCr is, and in th(8 all ¿he manufactu

low may be noted from the following, taken from .a recent Issue of the
Kxmumont Enterprise: , ■ *-•
"H. M. Ñfcholls, Southern sales agent ÍOr the Long-Bell Lumber company,
whose headquarters are at Lake Charles, La , was a visitor in timber circles
yesterday.
"Mr. Nicbolls reports that the lumber situation la now fast recuperating
from the demoralization which temporarily paralysed thjS industry during
the panic of 1907, and that it is practleally on a normal and substantial basis,
with all the Indlcatlona pointing to increased business and to higher prices.
As an example of activity now prevailing in yellow pine, Mr Nicholla
mentions the fact that the Loii-Bell Lumber company, through Its Lake
Charles office alone, has disposed of more than 10,000,000 feet within the
paat twelve days. Ail this lumber was taken by the domestic trade and doea
not include the export demand and movement. '(«& , : ' ;
Mr. Nicholla also states that the big mill of the Long'Bell company lo-
cated at Longville, La., on the Louisiana and Northerii road, which hss been
Cloaed down for the past year has recently readmed operations and is run-
n|n| «t practically full time, cftttln^ ¿28,000jteet of lumber <Jal!y." v^
