LIVERPOOL TIMBER TRADE.

At the date of our last fortnightly issue, we made allu—
sion to the hesitation which pervaded all classes of com-
mercial men, and called for the exercise of a decree of
caution iu most, if not indeed in all, mercantile transac-
tions, resembling what would more suitably become an
anticipated monetary crisis, than a period in which most
of the natural occurrences have a tendency to excite
hope. The cereal harvest is now nearly all secured, and
most accounts concur in representing it as highly satis-
factory as regards our own country, while over the whole
of continental Europe the yield is:Admittedly abundant.
In this immediate neighbourhood, as well as in other lo-
calities, it is to be deplored that the potato disease
has manifested Itself with great malignity, a circumstance
which cannot fail to act in a detrimental manner upon
the general result of our harvest, producing, as It must
do, a certain amountsif scarcity where abundance W 0134-
looked for. To this drawback must,, unhappily, be added'
_ _

others of a more distinctive and immediately applicable-
nature. Conspicuous among those, the chief to be noticed
is the fact ;that we are already engaged in two sets of
hostile enterprises in the East, each of them sufficient in
magnitude to absorb the resources and exhaust the ener-
gies of any other but the British nation. In saying thus
much, it must be borne in mind that it is not intended to•
convey suspicions of our ultimate and triumphant success,
but as is well known, whenever the energies of a nation-
are thoroughly roused to the execution and contemplation
of warlike exploits, the less dazzling, and also more
placid and profitable operations of commerce, are thrust
comparatively into the back ground. Under these cir-
cumstances it is less a matter for surprise or regret to
find that like other branches of mercantile pursuit, the

trade in timber has not improved, than to discover that
under the combined influences of an excess in supplies
and an indisposition on tne:part of the trade to carry
heavy stocks, it has not become worse than it is. This
fortunate part of the result being no doubt chiefly owing
to the fact that importers choose rather to yard cargoes
in expectation of an improving market, than to force then
off at the low prises now current.

AMERICNN TIMBER.

PINE TIMBER : From
_Quebec, the supply' has been
large since the commencement of the import season, and
taken in connexion with the want of alacrity on the part
of consumers to buy, the; stocks have considerably
increased. The continuance of forced sales by auction.
in most instances of indifferent and inferior sorts, has
had a tendency to depreciate the value of all kinds, the
only mode of counteracting which has been found to
consist in storing. From St. John the quantity imported
has been moderate. No sales have been reported.
RED PINE remains much the same as at the date of our
last, worth from 16d to 18d per foot according to the size
and quality.
SOAK AND ELK are still without change. Oak has been
sold at from 2s to 2s 4d per foot. Elm at from 16d to 19d
per foot.
HARDWOOD:. Good fresh wood of large size is readily
saleable. Of late a good deal of inferior has been thrown
cu the market and sold at low prices.
N. B. AND N.,S. Pins AND SPRUCE DEALS : In these-
important and serviceable articles we have little to add
to the remarks contained in our last. Good St. John has,
been sold at £7 12s 6d per stand., but except for best
shipments this price cannot be obtained. Other ports
have been sold at from .46 105 Od to £7 7s 6d according
to size and quality.
QUEBEC DEALS have been sold by auction at from.
£7 10s to .£7 15s for thirds; other kinds in proportion.
HEMLOCK Larnwoop with cargo sells at 40s ; separately
at from £3 5s to £4 7s 6d, according to quality.
Penn PINE : Of this article a few cargoes have recently
arrived, part of which has been retailed by auction, and
a :portion is in course of being yarded. There is no,
improvement in price to note.
TaaxwooD: Of this article there have been no recent
sales.
GREENMEART : The last sale of a cargo of this material
was effected at £ll per load.
Since our Annual Circular, dated Ist February, 175
vessels, 123,841 tons register, wood-laden, have arrived
from British North America—viz., 59 from Quebec, 70
from St, John, N. 8.. and 46 from other'ports ; at the
same date last year, 115 vessels, 93,861 tons, had arrived.
