LIVERPOOL TIMBER TRADE.

The high rate of charge for money accommolition and the abso-
lute tightness of the money market, concerning which we have of
late had so much and such frequent cause to complain, is still una-
bated. The effect of this on the general business of the country also
remains unmitieate 1, and most tradesmen as well as merchants suffer
from the c msequent dulness. Notwithstanding these depressing
influenc:s it is gratfying to observe that no feeling akin to despond-
ency finds any utterance among commercial men ; the best informed
of these, although acknowledging their conviction that some time
must elapse before any permanent or even extensive benefit can
arise to the trading community, are nevertheless in the belief net
matters are not likely to become much worse. This belief is founded
on various grounds, the chief of whieh is to be met with in the state-
ment that the continental money manets are improving, and with
less pressure on them the drai,t of bullion from England would
necessari y slacken, leaving r,ur capitalists more at leisure, and with
better inclination to attend to the requirements of trade at home :
another one exists in the favourable condition of the weather. We
have experienced no late frosts to counteract the effects of a some-
what early spring, and within a theft time we have been favoured
with such genial rains and moderately warm weather, es have pro.
duced the best effects on our grain crops. Tiie continuation of teese
for a short time longer, if followed by warmth and . unshine, would,
unless thro ,gh some unexpected visitation of Providence, ensure
such an abundant harvest as would carted many of the most detri-
mental effects arising from the anomalous condition of the money
market, and its depressing influeice upon the home trade. A pro-
sperous condition of this latter is always stimulating to enterprise.
and that stimulus once applied, will circulate rapidly through every
branch of comerce.

While looking hopefully at this prospect, as one almost in course of
being realised, we must bear in mind, with equal steadiness, the less
pleasing reflection that prudence and caution ara in all respects in-
dispensable to secure even the benefits which seam almost within our
reach. The season of import for colonial timber is now commencing,
and upon the extent to which supplies are forwarded from the produc-
ing ports, must in a great degree depend the question of fair prices
with a moderato supply, or low rates with a glutted market. The
consumptive demand continues mod,rate, but as already said, so
much depends upon the prudent operatims of shippers during the
next few months, that it is impossible to form an a:curate opinion as
to the ultimate results.
