1,748,961
Total for two companies 6,592,782
No reports were received from the other mills shipping from
Orange. The presence of salt water in the river for two weeks
badly handicapped the mills lit their operations and the ship-
ments tor the month decreased accordingly. Some water ship-
ments that went out were not Included in above report because
vessels did not clear until after the first of November, and these
shipments will be included in the report for November.

There has been no change ot any importance in the Inmber
situation since last report, except that conditions as existing
then are now more pronounced insolar as demand, stocks and
prices are concerned. The improvement in the demand noted ty
last report baa continued this week, as has the improvement in
prices, manufacturers reporting that orders are being received^
now on the full October list, dealers evidently having realised
that this advance was fully justified by conditions at the man-
ufacturing centers and agreeing to the advance without demur.
Stocks are badly broken throughout.the yellow pinedistrict and
the demand for lumber that has developed within the past
y stoclrs, hence there is ver]

MANUFACTURERS OP
Long Leaf Yellow Pine Lumber
LAURELIA (rat conty) TEXAS.
MR
éM
The plant is located 90 miles North of Houston,
Texas, on the Honeion, East and West Texas R. R.,
in the long leaf fellow Pine forests of Polk County.
The equipment ie a first-class Logging railroad, a
modern Saw Mill, Planing Mill and superior Dry "
Kilns. The taciíities for supplying rough and dressed
ryrailroad ties and timber are among the best.
"W
thirty days hks made it impossible fos the mills to accumulate
any. stocks, hence there is very little opportunity tor the price
tter to get m his work.
Mills at Orange were unable to accumulate any stocks dur-
ing the past month, as on account of the salt water in the
river, which reduced the production of the mills about forty *
per cent, they were barely enabled to keep up with current or
ders, and two of the big mills here were forced to run overtime
tor more than a fortnight in order to lpád vessels that were,In
port. They were loaded out in good shape, without demurrage
Charges accumulating.
All the mills report a good supply of orders ahead, both
for bill stuff and for yard stock and the next sixty days are
going to be mighty busy with them, as all will want to dispose
of as much business as possible by the end ot the year, when a
reckoning must be made. The demand from the northwest con-
tinues as good as it has been for some time, while Texas, too,
there being an especially good call
)8ide finish.
report that they have had a very good
supply ot Southern Pacific cars, but they have been hampered
in making shipments on Santa Fe cats. The ' Santa Pe has re-*
quired that their cars be dispatched in two days, and this is not.
always possible. For instance, an order for a car of lumber
will calf for material of different kinds that is loaded at differ-
ent places on the mill yards or shipping sheds. The switch en-
gine visits the mill yards but once a day, hence if it is necessary
to switch a car three times to get all oi the schedule loaded it
will, of necessity, require threé days in which to get the car
loaded. When the time limit is only two days and the cars are
Í>ulled out at thé^nd of' this time, it is maqitestly impossible "
or the business to be handled satisfactorily and for this reason
shipments that would otherwise have gone out have been de-
layed. **- . .
There have be$n no big railroad schedules offered this week,
though all ot the mills have some railroad business on their
books. There have been no arrivals of timber this week from
the upper river, which still remains at á dead low stage.
Summed Up, the situation is just about as reported last
week, and to say ditto to the review in the issue of the Leader;
of last week would cover the situation.
Grading on the new tram road being built by the Lutcher
Moore Limiber company in Odlcasieu parish, Louisiana, is
about complete and as soon as the steel t. which has been order-
ed, arrives, track laying will begin. A third rail will be
laid on the present track ot the Gult Sabine &.Red River rail-
road for a distance of seven miles, from the river to a point
where the neiy road will branch off, this new road extending tor
five miles. The new road is "expected to be in operation by the
énd of the year.
T. C. Skeen, ot Houston, who is connected with the engin-
eering department of the I. & G. N. railroad, was an Orange
visitor Wednesday, coming ovter to look after the shipment of
a lot of stringers. These stringers, atter being sawn, were
"dopped" here, then loaded on cars and taken to Beaumont to
be creosoted before being puynto service.

Palmer tor Philadelphia, This schooner is taking out a
of 1,250,000 feet Of'lumber furnished by the Lutcher & 1
