Twen-1 ty-four carloads of Douglas fir lumber from the Pacific coast arrived at Des Molnea, Iowa, Wednesday afternoon after being rushed half across the continent ln less than five days' time, making new records for freight shipments, according to word received hy th war lumber emergency board. The lumber la being used ln the construction of the new cantonment at Des Moines. Thewlre announcing the arrival of the lumber stated that the Pacific, coast shipments were the first to arrive, none of the lumber ordered from the southern pine district having as yet aPPeared More than 8.000,000 feet have been supplied by the North Pacific mills in this and shipments that have since left. The emergency board gave out a partial list of the war orders placed with northwestern mills, and it was found that the plants of Oregon received 19 large orders for over 6,000,000 feet. Orders for about feet for various cantonments nave been given.

South American Export Trade. Trade of the United States with South America in the fiscal year Just ende! will aggregate nearly $800,000,000 against less than $400,000,000 ln any year prior to the war. The total trado with that continent ln the 10 months, for which a complete record is now at hand, is $632,000,000. and for the latest month (April) of that period $79, 000,000. Stiould the two remaining months of the fiscal year, for which figures are not yet available, make respectively as high a record as did the month of April, the total for the fiscal year would aggregate as against $364,000,000 ln 1913, the highest pre-war record of our trade with South America.

In 1915, the first year of the war, our total trade with that continent was $360,000,000. in 1916 $571,000,000 and in 1917 seems likely to be as above indicated, nearly or quite $800,000,000. This very rapid gain ln the trade with South America occurs in both Imports and exports, though the gain in Imports is much more strongly marked than in exports Imports from South America in 1913 (her banner pre-war trade year) were $218,000,000 promise to be about $540,000,000, an Increase of approximately 150 per oent. Exports to that continent in 191,3 were and In 1917 prcmise to be about $250,000,000. an increase of approximately 75 per cent.

This more rapid growth in our purchases from South America than ln her own purchases from us is due to natural conditions. The Importing power of that continent was greatly reduced by the depression which followed the war, while our own importing power was greatly Increased by the stimulation of commerce and of industries which followed the war South American lmporta show a very sreai mil 111 ij une ursi year or the war) and have made but extremely slow recovery, the total lmDorts of that continent having been in 1913 u. little over $1,000,000,000, and ln 1914 but about $650,000,000, 1915 approximately same as in 1914, and in 1916 approximately $750,000,000.

In the local market there ls no de cided activity among the buyers, but that is explained by the fact that It Is between seasons. The claim is made that the dullness ls not due to any uncertainty. At the present time prices are very high and it is taking a great deal of capital with a tight money market to carry on operations. Liberal sales of cape wools, both greasy and scoured, were the leadinz features of late transfers ln the locil markets.
