St. John there have been a few arrivals, and when sales are made;
the prices are generally kept private. A mixed cargo of Pine and
Deals was sold on Wedn eddy last at fair prices, and when the
quality is good, our quotations, of trove 48 to 5d over the average
girth, shippers' string measure, is correct. Of lower port there are
no recent sales to report.
