LIVERPOOL TIMBER MARKET.—APRIL 21.
The general uncertainty with regard to political matters
in 3ontmental Europe, which at the date of our last circular
exercised a depressing influence on nearly all the British
markets, still continues ; and if the gravity of the circum-
stances connected with the dispute between France and Aus-
tria is to be judged by the explanations
,afforded by British
Ministers to Parliament, the state of matters has not been
materially improved since; cceval with this adverse state of
continental affairs, we must also take into account the extensive
trade derangements created by the dissolution of Parliament
and the approaching general elections, and these taken in
combination, together with the effect produced on the market
by a liberal importation of Colonial wood, have had the effect
of greatly retarding the progress of business which seemed to
be foreshadowed in the earlier part of the year. Under
these circumstances, it ceases to be a subject of surprise that
the consumptive demand for wood has rather fallen off than
been augmented. Notwithstanding this, however, prices have
not been greatly changed, although the prospect of an early
and brisk trade have been seriously interfered with. Pine
Timber : The sales of Quebec during the month have been
moderate in extent, and the rates have scarcely suffered any
alteration from those quoted last month.; viz., for choice
wood of from 78 to 80 feet average, from 17d to 18d, while
wood of middling qualities* must still be quoted ld to 12cl
per foot lower, in both instances by the cargo. Wood of 50
feet average realises 144 d per foot on the sale of a cargo.
St John good hoard logs in cargo, for an average of 18 in.,
may be stated as worth from 21d to 22d. Small sized wood
may be considered saleable at rates more dependent on the
quality than the average girth. Red Pine : This article is
'dull of sale, and is only to be disposed of in small lots at
from 18d to 10d per foot according to size and quality.
Oak and Elm : Quebec Oak has been sold at from 2s to
2s 4d as in size and quality ; but it is dull of sale. Elm
is low in stock, and wood of good quality and fresh is
wanted. Hardwood : Of this the stock is light. Good St
John of fair average is worth from 17d to 18d per foot.
Lower Port from 15d to 16d per foot. N.B. and N.S.
Pine and Spruce Deals : In our last we stated that fluctu-
ations in the general trade of the manufacturing districts
materially influence the demand for these exceedingly useful
articles ; and as experience has shown that such fluctua-
tions have been considerable during the past month, it
follows as a natural consequence that the prices of Pine
and Spruce Deals have been affected by the varying influ-
ences referred to. Last month we stated that cargoes
arriving might be expected to yield, when sold entire,
from £8 lOs to £8 15s per standard, and the result of
sales since made has proved the accuracy of this conjecture,
one cargo of St John sold on the Bth instant having realised
£8 12s 10d. Another was offered for sale on the
20th inst., in 46 lots; of these 31 lots were sold at an average
of nearly £8 12s. If the remaining 15 lots had been
sold it would have slightly reduced this average.
Quebec Deale • Of these +barn anlpe t rpnnyt
the latest quotations for second quality bright are about £lO
10s per standard. Pitch Pine : Of this several sales have
occurred since our last, partly by auction in retail lots, and
partly by the cargo, but the prices generally have not trans-
pired. Buyers, entertaining a belief that this wood will be
lower in value, hold aloof, and purchase only for imme-
diate requirements. A cargo from Pensacola, rough
in appearance and ill manufactured, but conjectured to
cut up well, was offered for sale by auction on the
20th instant, and produceed 181 d per foot. Green-
heart : Of this the stock is heavy and the demand
limited. Teakwood : A cargo from Moulmein has arrived
since our last, which has been sold to the trade, the price
has not transpired. Baltic Timber : Of this there has been
one arrival from Dantzic on merchants' account. Three
vessels, chiefly laden with spars and poles, from Drammen,
Christiana, and Soon, have also arrived. Consequent on
such an extest of arrivals, the market will no doubt remain
for some time liberally supplied with spars and poles
