AMEItICAN TIMBER.

PINE TIMBER—None of this from Quebec has yet a, rived, the
season being hardly enough advanced, and the transactions in it have
consequently been of a retail character.
From St. John there have been some mixed arrivals of mixed car-
goes which have not yet been placed upon the market. One cargo
imported in January last, has been sold from the yard to the trade
within the last few days ; the price has not transpired. 'the con-
sumption in the month of May last was small, and the stock new in
part is large, considerably exceang in extent any of the previous
four years; and summing. up an excess over the est.matc: of 1255, at
the same period compared with the present, amounting to 200,00)
cubic feet; under these circumstances to give quotations would only
tend to mislead.

RED PINE continues large in sock, most of which is o ly middling
quality—it cannot be sold but at a low figure, Pitch Pine from
savannah interfering mater'ally with it, value.
OAK Ann Ecsr—The form3r is low in stock, and first arrivals will
meet ready sale at fair plus ; the latter, g( od rock, of large average,
will also command purcbakrs.
HARD wow) is moderate in stock, and sales of St. John have recently
been effected for a parcel of middling quality at about 17d per foot ;
large and fresh wood would command more money. Good Parsboro,
newly manufactured and of large size, would be worth from 16d to
18d per foot. The same remarks are applicable to Pictou. P. E.
Islands 121 to Isd per foot.

N. B. & N. S. PINE AND SPRUCE DEALS are beginning to come in,
a few cargoes from St. John having' arrived, but they have not as yet
been placed in quantity upon the market. The amount consumed in
the last mmth was limited, and the s ock still continues heavy, and
exceeds the quantity held at the same date last year by 60:1,000 pieces
or 8,500 standards.

Quanto DEALB.—The stocks of these are very much reduced.
HEMLOCK LA7IIWOOD is much reduced in value by the large impor-
tations of Baltic.

PITCH Ppm is heavy in stock and slow of sale even at a low price.
TEAHWOOD.—There has been no arrivals of this wood within the
fortnight; the stock is light, and transactions are by retail from the
yard.
GREENHEART is in demand, and will sell readily at fair prices.

tons register, wood laden. have arrived from British North America,
viz.. none from Quebec, 26 from St. John, N.H.. and 8 from other
