which the campaign should be con

that It was likely (hat he would not

Last Friday he had another attack
and has been declining ever since.
He Is gradually growing worse all

Orders are Few.
Orders are difficult to obtain at
any price, although inquiries for the
last few days have boon a little bet
ter than they had been previously.
The market for dressed 'stock Is
particularly depressed, there being
hnrdly any orders. For the larger
sizes of dimensions stock orders are
Cntnpartlvely plentiful, but there Is
very little timber either in South
Georgia or Florida from which the
larger sizes of timber can be cut.
Labor was rc|>orted plentiful, ex
cept In extrome South Florida, where
the phosphate Industry la keeping up
prices higher than the lumbermen
cim afford to pay. *'f
That there Is any lumber truit In
tho two states covered by the Gcor-
gia-Florida Sawmill Association was
effectually disproved by the reports
of the members, which showed that
