AMERICAN TTMIIER

Pies TIMBER.—In this article, from Quebec, oze cargo has arrived,
which has hot yet been placed on the market. A considerable
amount of-speculation is atlaat respecting the rate to be cbtained for
the first good cargo front the quay. The sales since our last have
been by rotail from the yards. The stock of yellow Pine is now esti-
mated at 664,00 u feet, against 860,0 0 at the corresponctng date of
la,,t year. From St. John a few parcels are in course cf being landed,
the money value of which is lid to 2d per foot over the average girth
es in quality. The stock, as will be seen from the subjoined figures,
is considerably in excess of that of last year at the came time, viz.:-
650,000 feet, against 307,030 in 1856. Of lower port there remain
27,500 feet, against 45,C0 1 at this rate last ye r.
Rao PINE remains much the same as at the date of our last Issue ;
the value and consumption of this article is very much- interfered
with by the large stocks and comparatively low prices of Pitcir Pine
and Baltic Timber. The stock of Red Pine is 102,500 feet, against
135,000 at this time last year.
OAK AND Ezu.-01 the former the stock is only 27,009 feet, against
107,000. This article has been retailed at extreme rates, but these
must not be looked on as any criterion of the value of the new import.
Of Elm the present stock is 26,010 feet, against 18,000 ; the chi-1
portion of the remaining stock is of small average and middliwg
quality. No sales to report.
HAIDIIOOD..—The quantity held over of old Birch is 10,500 feet,
against 27,000. t. John of new import is selling at 17d to 20'4, as in
size and quality. Other kinds in proportion.
N.B. aura N.B. Pius AND SPNrcE PEALS.—Of 111050 useful and

favourite articles, we estimate the quantity in port this day at 17,325
standards of Pine and Spruce against 8;712 on the same dm -of 1856.
This large exerts,' of stock on hand is of i self more •h, n ant ficient to
account for the low prices at which,they are now ruling indt red, were
it not for the real utility and economy which experience has 1 i,oved to
exist in their use, they,would, without doubt, have undergo]: e a still
greater depreciation in value. As noted in our general ohs( .rvations
on the subject of the disadvantsg-s accruing from the dea mess of
money acc ,mmodadon, where we state that dear m mop i )p orates
against building generally, we may here em ,rk, that no c'as of
articles is more suddenly or more se' ionsly affected by &lam It:ons in
themouey market than Deals, as th -it consumptio u enters very • largely
inta buildings erected fir ordinary purpo,es. Oar quotatious give a
fa rides of the value to be ob.amed for Dealsiu car. co.
