A Short Sketch of the Lu Ht irSm/S * This trade has attained large pro portions in Brunswick, and the fig' nres will warrant ns in saying that being last on the li^ of Naval Store the shipments of manufactured yellow pine lumber .from onr port exceed those of any other port.on the south NAVAL STOBES. :1 _L This Department of our Trade Shares in the General Boom. £t js with great satiefaotion' that we review this branch of onr trade for of it ft few years ago, but we are con fident that with superior advantages fW'SPft -,asv a naval stores depot the receipts will in crease from year to year till instead,of ports, it will show its importance by outstripping manyrof its rivals and place itself in line with the heavy re- Atlantic coast. At present there iB a ceiving,markets, lull in the business, and prices are In July 1876 the first train load of considerably off, owing to various rosin and spirits turpentine wah re- causes, which will no doubt resnlt in a healthy re-aotion within the next three months, placing the business on a firmer business than ever before. The foreign demand for mannfao- tured yellow pine is increasing annu ally, and, while such is the case, the home uiarsets most: be benefitted thereby. A few years ego it was an unusual thing to note a shipment of sawed yellow pine timber or lumber to a United-Kingdoo* port, nil ship ments being id the hewn form. Now a very large proportion of the ship ments to ports in that country is par tially or wholly manufactured. The Brunswick Ac Albany and the Macon & Brunswick Division of the East Tennessee, Virginia & Georgia Bail- roads bring large quantities of lum ber to • Brunswick. On the former roads there are fifteen mills, with a daily capacity of about 300,000 feet, sending almost their entire produc tion through this port. On the Ma con & Brunswick Division there ore eight mills, with a daily capacity of • about 130,000 feet shipping their pro duct through Brunswick, while others divide their shipments between Brunswick and Savannah. j While the sapplv of timber is far from inexhaustible there is still a large area of yellow , pine forest through the pine belt of Georgia, that is almost untouobed by the ax of the timber cotter and will supply the demand of the lumber manufac tures for years, although the increaa ed expense attending the handling of the timber on tram roads extended for long distances into the woods .will enhance the value of the lumber pro duction and it is to be hoped tend to briDg about a more economical syS' tem of manufacture, so that tbo con tents of the logs may be used in some way to yield nu income to the manu facturer. At present the term “timber batchers” can with propriety be ap plied to many of the so-called manu facturers who send fifty per cent the logs to the slab-pit. Brunswick must from her favorable situation receive a very large propor tion of the lumber for shipment in the future and such shipment will no doubt increase in as great if not great er ratio than they have in the past few years. A glance at the following table will show the increase. EXPORTS OP LUMBER ANlf TIMBER PROM THE PORT OE BBUK8WICK POB THE YEARS Op 1878,1879,1880, fob "'-" - THE VEAU tHDINO SEP. 15,1882.' , , .

B, and was such a novelty that a large crowd gathered at depot, some being impelled by cariosity at sight of snch an unknown artiste of oommeroe, while others were likely only there to gratify their craving for a good chew of rosin. The entire lot was forward ed by steamer through to New York. Bis now a common occurrence to witness daily arrivals from line of both railroads and frequently two and three entire trains are loaded down with it. Instead of all receipts being 1 sent immediate to other coastwise ports there is nlway a snplns of stock on hnnd and the shipments to foreign ports far exceed the coast wise. By reference to the adjoined state ment, it will be seen that there has a steady increase in the naval store business every year. These figures speak volumes, and just here we wish to say that to Mr. J. D. Sprout (now of London) and to Mr. A. V. Wood, bis successor, and also Messrs. Chess- Carley Co., we are indebted for this vast increase in this business. Whilst onr port is last on the list of naval store ports as published in the annual reports, still it is gratify ing to observe that the ratio of in crease is more marked than the oth ers, to-wit: Savannah—Spirits turpentine, 41 per cent; rosin, 10 per cent.
