Iy James S. McCarthy. Washington, May 15.-The lumber idustry of the south is one of great ud increasing impIortance. Accord :ig to official information the value f t.he hIliiier products of that sce iou has increased from $39,000,000 i 1880, to $260,000,000 in 1906. The Atest statistics if lumber shipments >tlished by the Bureau of Statis ies in the Department of Commerce nd Labor, show that the total ship ients from Sout.hern Itumber terri ory -during the ten months ending letober 31, 1905, amounted to 3,076, '89,067 feet, against 1,837,464,057 e"t for the corresponding ten months n 1903. When it is considered that he price of Southern lumber has oeon steadily inereasing since 1896 nd is now fully 100 per cent above he level of .that year it will be seen hat this industry must be very pro itable notwithstanding slight ad ,an6es in freight rates. from the leorgia and Mississippi yellow pine listricts amounting to about 18 per ent and restoring only a part of the -eduetion made in 1893 and subse tuent years, when the lumber busi teas was passing through a period of Lepression,. Inasmuch as there has ieetn considerable eomplain.t of these Advances in freight rates it is inter sting to point out that they are very mall in comparison with the advance n the price of lumber and that they L not seem to have interfered iwth to distribution in widely separated ifarkets. This is ndicated by the arge ancrease in shipments shown by he.. "reau: 0okSttistios and by the !ollowing quotation from the bulle in of that bureau: "Shipments of yellow pine from he southwest Amounted to 170,070 ars during the ten months ending )ctober, 1905, which were distribut d as follows: New England States, 1,138 ears; New York, 1,799 cars; "ennsylvania and New Jersey, 2, 188 cars; West Virginia and Mary and, 641 ears; Michigan, 2,499 cars; )hio, 6,753 ears; Indiana, 8,996 Illi lois, 16,622. cars; Iowa, 2,874 cars; Cinnesota, 310 cars; Wisconsin, 1, 186 cars; Missouri, 17,816 cars; Kan as, 11,720 cars; Nebraska, 5,915 ears; oorado and South Dakota, 955 cars; ndian Territory and Oklahoma, 7,. 165 cars; Texas, 16,367 cars; Tennes e and Kentucky, 4,829 ears; New 4,,xico and Arizona, 1,870 ears; lo "al. 13,344 cars; export, 9,685 ears; iot specified, 34,308 cars."
