COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

The .Quebec Timber Market is thus reported by Messrs.
Forsyth and Bell :—‘• During the last tourteeu days our
market has been comparatively quiet, the end of July and
beginning of August being generally the dullest period of
the season ; but within the last few days the transactions
have been toler bly large at
...the prices curreut when
we last issued our circular. Inferior rafts are with
difficulty placed at Ito 51, ordinary 54 to 6d, while
good and superior rafts range from 71 to 41 according to
size, quality and manufacture. In
,Red Pine there is very
little doiag, although the quantity coming forward is •tmall.
A good dial of Oak of last year is still on hand, and inter.
fires materially with the prices of the new timber. Elm
is in better demand, and there is a fair inquiry for rafts as
they arrive. Standard Staves are dull at £55, while "West
India are in request at £l6. Deals are much as when we
last issued our circular. Freights ars rather better-30s
for Liverpool, and 30s 64 for Greenock, and 85a for Deals
for London have been given.
The following is the last report of the Montreal Mar-
kets. &c :—" In Wheat and Four their, are no transactions
of any consequence, and no change of prices to note since
Broker's Ci,cular. Corn has been sold at 43. New Bar-
ley is offered for delivery shortly at 5.t. Oats and Pease
unaltered. Ashes: Pots arc 41s 6d to 4.5 a. Pearls unal-
te ed. There is no alteration to note in Stocks or Securities.
From Chicago we learn that Spring Wheat is 1 doll7c f.0.b.,
and scarce. Small parcels in store 1 dol 13c 1. Fiour scarce
and firth at higher prices than it brought a fortnight ago.
Contracts for new Wheat, deliverable first half of Sep-
tember, are making a'. 1 dol. Farmers are so busy gather-
ing their immensa harvest, that thy hare no time t, bring
it into market. Ileac?, it is thought, prices Are likely to
keep up till the middle of September. After that, a rush
of producp, and a fall are expect, d."
