The Lumber Trade. Pacific Iron for October 5 The lumber trade for the past month was good and prices remained stationary.

Already there are fears of a serious car famine. No abatement is shown in the general demand for iron. Home furnaces cannot supply the demand, and orders for about 50,000 tons steel billets and 100,000 tons pig iron are being placed in English and German mar- kets; while over 135,000 tons of foundry iron have aiready been imported into this country.
