Pacific Coast Wood and Iron says of Lum- | Ber: “eThere does seem to be an improvement in the lumber trade, although mill owners con- tinue to complain. Several of the Humboldt miflls during the last month recefved a number of large orders although at continued low prices. Everybody seems waiting for the war to close when an advance in price may be made, for building will be resumed. One order for over 900,000 feet of redwood has been placed by one of the large firms in the city. This looks 88 though some movement was on foot. Whether this was for home or foreign consumption 1s not vmown. The Retall Assoclation seems de- termined to keep prices down, and it is Tt ported that there will be a cut in prices eari this ‘month. The Gover: it has placed sev- éral orders for lumber at ruling prices. *“The general East n _is similar to that which usuall s durine this season of the year.

Some -such report | as recelved here during the Leiter deal, and ay's rumor was generally belleved to- be the | original_story polished by some -enthusiastic | bull, who possessed a knowledge of the geii- eral forgetfulness of the speculative crowd.
