High grado clear that was selling for

thoro la a demand for all classes.
Tho country Is awakening to tho
fact, savs Mr. Soohorn, that Its man-.
ufactured stock of lumber Is running
low.' Thcai!lBtrlbutlng 'yards or tlio
mlddlo west need replenishing. Box
shook Is needed for tho movement
of tho Pacific conHt orango crop and
dried fruits. Looking around to fill
their ncods, tho buyers suddenly
found that mills had been cutting far
below normal nil summon Many
plants had not cut at all. And, du
ring tho Biimmor, whllo thoro was no
strong demand, manufacturers who
woro operating, or had loft-ovor
stocks, had managed to sell a car
load 'horo nnd thoro. Tho selling
