Or., Nov. lT.-Wlihln the lat few weeks a new market has been opened up for Oregon and Washington lumber, and already shippers are preparing prepar-ing to transport by water more than S.iRiO.OUO feet to New York. Part of this lumber will go from Portland on sailing vessels and part of it will be taken from the mills of Puget Sound. Outside of the extreme heavy timber heretofore there bus been practically no demand for Oregon and Wellington lumber lum-ber in the New York markets and the suddenness and magnitude of the orders of recent date have corneas a surprise. v |
