THE TIMBER TRADE.

(From Messrs. A. F. and D. Mackay's Circular)

Since our annual circular, dated Ist February, 206
vessels, 172,623 tons register, wood-laden, have arrived
from British North America, viz., 73 from Qucheo, 76
from St. John, N. 8., and 57 from. other ports ; at the
same date last year, 140 vessels, 117,662 tons, had
arrived.

PINE TIMBER.—The arrival of logs from British
America continues in excess of last year's import.
Prices evince steadiness at about the rates quoted in our
last, ranging from 133 d. to 183,d. per foot for Quebec,
according to average and quality, the higher price being
obtained for very fine clean timber. Since the issue of
our last circular one or two small parcels of large-sized
board timber, of good quality, sold by auction at from
23d. to 24d. iaer foot. In considering the large prices
thus obtained, it should be borne in mind, that owing,
to the roundness of the logs the difference of measure-
ment on these lots will be great. Similar timber, of
superior quality, has been sold by private treaty, at about
the same prices. From St. John several cargoes and
parts of cargoes have been sold by private treaty and
public auction, at rates ranging from 21,d. to 6!d. over
the average girth, as in quality the stock of this article
is now nearly double in extent compared with what it
was last year at this date.
RED PINE has not altered in value since our last : it
is worth from 15d. to 19d. per foot, according to size and
quality; by auction a parcel, forty-six feet average, sold
at from 17d. to 17id. per foot.
OAR, from Quebec, has been imported in more mode-
rate quantity daring the present season than for some
previous years, it having, to a great extent, been pushed
out of this market through the competition of better
qualities from the Southern, States, particularly by the
very superior kind so favourably known as the Thornton
white oak, from Virginia. In consequence of this we
do not alter our quotations for Quebec Oak, which is
worth from 22d. to 26d. per foot, according to size and
quality.

. - Eiii is now nearly double in stock to -what it was at
the !same period of last year. It has been sold at from
16d. to 24d. per foot, according to quality and size.
N.B. and N.S. PINE and SPRUCE Dana.s.—Although
the import of these have been on an extensive scale, it
has been met by a consumptive demand, sufficient to
prevent any great addition to the stock on hand at the
date of our last. This demand has, -without doubt,
been considerably stimulated by the low price at which
they have been placed on the market. They are now
rather easier of sale, and the price a turn in favour of the
seller. St. John firsts, seconds, and thirds, in fare pro-
portion, are worth from £8 to £8 2s. 6d. per standard ;
other kinds in proportion.
QUEBEC DEALS retain the same position in the mar-
-1 ket as at the date of our last. First quality, separate
from cargo, may still be quoted as worth from £l5 15s,
to £l6 ; seconds, from £9 17s. 6d. to £lO 55., and
thirds at from £7 10s. to £8 Ss. per standard, according
to specification.
Haw:moon has continued to be imported largely,
