How Lurnber Looks

.There ir very, little change in the wholecale lurnber market in thir state, from two weekc ago; and very little to report.

While it could not be raid that buying ir any elower, at the rame time it would be an exaggeration to ttate that orderr were being placed more freely than they were being placed on the 15th of November.

It is a fact that there is a elightly better dernand for uppers, that fooring end ceiling command better prices, and'green clean are not as plentiful.

The common market, however, has not reacted, and probably will not to any great extent until the dockr are cleaned up somewhat. The prevailing prices are prac{ically &9 sarne, and t[e aame cian be raid about lath and other itemc. I

The shingle market ir very, very quie! with very few nler reported. I

You murt keep some pertinent thingr in mind, on this rnarkeT for thir tirne of the year. The millr, large and small have been cuttin& and cutting dl theg could get into tbeir millr. The usual winter rhut downr and curtailment will begin roon, and dro the rumored log shortage on the Columbia River, and elaewhere will alow down shipmentr into tte California market. The millr have been having exceptionally fine weather thir fall, and almort without exception, the fir milh have been cutting to a maximum.

The lest report of the Wert Coart Lurnbermenrr Arsociation, rhowe a weekr cut of ll2rO0OrOOO feet and aalee of 106 million" Thir against sales of 84,000,000 for tte wee& previous.

The redwood mills last weekly report, givec saler figures of 5,OOO,OOO feet, production, IO,OOO'OOO and they ahipped 8 million feet.

In the south, the sale* of the Southern Pine Anociation dropped to 63r000,(X)0 feet, for the week. The cut war 76,0001000. Thir compares favorably wtih the week previour.
