The firm of Lieberman, Loveman & 

 O'Brien report the box end of their busi- 

 ness satisfactory just prior to the holi- 

 days and regard the outlook for 1905 in 

 lumber matters as indicative of a strong 

 market and active demand soon after the 



new year opens.

The Southern Lumber and Box Com- 

 pany are busy with their interests in the 

 box making and lumber lines. Secretary 

 Hunt looks after the logging interests 

 and he hopes to get a good supply of logs 



lor his firm.

John D. Ransom & Co. note some im- 

 provement in the export trade, and find 

 in summing up the business of 1904 that 

 it is going to be up to the average and 

 an excess on former years, for which they 



are duly grateful.

Receiver J. Bowley at Bristol, Tenn., 

 will open a number of bids on a large 

 quantity of logs in Carter County, Ten- 

 nessee, which are a part of the effects ot 

 the late James Strong Lumber Company of 

 Bristol. These logs, it is estimated, will 

 yield about 2,000.000 feet of marketable 



lumber. Several of the Bristol companies 

 have filed bids on the property.

W. G. McCain & Sons have just com- 

 pleted a modern band lumber plant at 

 Neva, in Johnson County, Tennessee, and 

 will put it in operation not later than Jan- 

 uary 1. The plant has a daily capacity of 

 40,000 feet. For several months the com- 

 pany has been accumulating logs.

At Lewisburg, Marshall County, Tenn., 

 a large force of hands has been at work 

 during the past month on the American 

 Lead Pencil Company's new plant, and 

 the main building, it is thought, will be 

 completed in a few days. The old plant 

 was recently destroyed by fire at a loss 

 of $100,000. The concern uses a large 

 amount of cedar in its manufactures and 

 the company has more standing cedar 

 timber than almost any concern in the 

 South.
