AMERICAN T'MBER.

PINE TINNER has arrived from Quebec to a moderate
extent, part of...which is in course of being yarded, and no
sales of cargoes have taken place during the fortnight;
nor have we to note any change in its value. From Saint
John one large cargo has come in of 18 inch average
girth, which sold from the quay at 21d per foot, without
stowage. Of other ports, no sates have been notified.
RED PINE is worth from 17d to 20d acco; ding to size
and quality.
OAK AND ELM c The former is in demand, and worth
2s 6d per toot for large s:zed fresh wood; the latter is
dull of sale for small averages, with which the market is
well supplied. Good Elm of 40 feet average is much
inquired for and will command full prices. •
UARDWOOD: From St. John a good many parcels have
lately been imported. It has been sold at from 171 Ito
181 per foot for 14 inch, and ringing upwards to 2W for
16 inch average, at which rates considerable quantities
have been sold.

our last little or n 1 perceptible change has taken place in
the value of these articles. They are still worth from £8
to 1:8 5s per standard, and should the import continue
limited, that rate of value may be expected to be main-
tained.
