There seems to be ¿n especially good demand from the north
and northwest for abort flooring, which is not easily to be had
at any of the mills for quick delivery. As an evidence of this
may be cited the tact that one concera here this week received

sixty days. Immediately the reply came back by wire to book
the order for sixty days delivery, thus indicating that sixty

These are now being sold at full list ^prices, buyers paying that

Texas is buying lumber more treelv now than she has been,
while shipments are going forward from mills in this section tb
Indiana, Illinois and Ohio, to say nothing ot .Kansas, Iowa and
Nebraska. In fact, the mills have no complaint Jto.'-make, as to
the demand and only regret th^tthe condition of stocks is such
that they cannot always give as prompt shipment as Is desired.
Mills who ship largely over the Santa Fe and Kansas City
Southern railroads continue to complain of a difficulty in secur- ,
lng cars as promptly as they are needed. There has been no
complaint as yet from the Southern Pacific, this road beiuj? so
well equipped with rolling stock that traffic will have to as-
sume much larger proportions than at present to affect the car
supply;

for foreign shipment. In fact, all reports from the English mar-

Long Leaf Yellow Pine Lumber
LAUREUA (mt awn?) TEXAS.
'■viVVii
The plant is located SO mll^s North of Houston,
Texas, on the Houston, Sast and West Texas R. JR.,
the long leaf Yellow Pine forests of Polk County,
equipment \ m first-clfus Logging railroad, a
Planing MUI and superior mm.
circular.
On Yellow Pine Lumber this will amount to
J
1000 feet, on shipments handled by theTexarkana & Port Smit
Railway and the Kansas City Southern Railway. Upon Ship-
ments reaching Port Arthur by water which have notbóroe any
rail haul, the wharfage charge will be 80 cents per 1000 feet.
Yours Truly,
CHAQ. E. Pérkins, G. F. A.
This arbitrary action upon the partpt the Port Arthur in
terests is hard to understand. The present wbarfáge charge at
Port Arthur is Ave cents per 1000 feet on lumber. The bulk of
the lumber shipped from Orange for export goes to Port Arthur ,
on barges, or, if sawn timber,''in tow ot ft tug. In future, this
material/instead of paying five cents per thousand wharfage at
Pórt Arthur, will be taxed an even thirty cents, or a direct in-
crease of twenty-five cents on every thousand feet of lumber or
timber shipped-by water-^-and this, too, in face ot the tact that
this lumber or timber never touches the warf at Port Arthur. If
shipments had to be confined to Port Arthur, this arbitary ad-
vance would mean the complete paralysis Of the export lumber
trade—for the present, at least—as this advance represents
ie profit.' and even inore than the profit, made by the exporter, I
and under present conditions in Europe it would be absolutely
impossible for them to get any better prices than now prevail.
Happily, there are other ports available for the lumber export-
".'in^arge^át,, Pol^Arthurí'
lumber
industry of Orange, may act as a veritable boomerang and Port
Arthur become the sufferer Instead. !}
, Shippers who have charters closed for Port Arthur loading
may suffer a loss on these particular cargoes, but'others have
both Sabine Pass and Galveston Open to them, from either of
which ports, lumber from Orange can be exported cheaper than
from Port Arthur under the proposed excessive charges. There
v are
go, but if the Port Arthur interests figure that thfey can hold up
the shippers by forcing them to pay this arbitrary increase in
wharfage charges, they are probably reckoning without their
host. Lumber Cab be loaded to vessels in the stream at Sabine
Pass, with no wharfage charges whatever, while timber, also,
save this extra 25
too, lumber for ex-
port ican be sent by rail to Galveston and loaded on vessel-
cheaper than at Port Arthur Under-the new rate. What is hoi
to be accomplished by the Kansas City Southern railroad '
ers and this arbitrary increase
which was evidently intended as a direct slap at the
not attempt to solve. If they were in position to torce shii
to use that port, One could readily understand that motive,
as they are not to "a man up a tree" it looks very much 11
bluff, pure and simple, and a position from which they will
to recede, or else cease to expect any very large shipt
lumber through the port of Port Arthur. It is iutimat
certain influential mills along the line of the Kansas '
Southern, and who are large stockholders in the road a
canal, are responsibly for the order, and that they hope
flit therefrom by forcing exporters to buy from them, in
«ave the excessive charge against the water ahipme
Orange. This may, or may not be true, but the
tures the assertion that either the obnoxious order
Cinded, or else shipment of lumber through the ambiti
Of Port Arthur will show a rapid and marked d^ctea
Sabine Pass will again become the principal shipping
lumber.
