TIMBER.

LIVERPOOL.—There has been a steady demand for
timber during the week, and fully average deliveries have
been made by retail. This 'more particularly applies to
Quebec pine, elm, and oak. Of the two latter articles
the whole stock is now reduced to less than 20,000 feet.
Of pine the stock is estimated as moderate, the consump-
tion of the Last three months having risen to nearly
800,000 feet ; while of Dantzic about one-half of the stock
held on the Ist of February has been cleared off the
market. From the United States parcels of pitch pine
continue to arrive, all of which are readily sold from the
quay at 2s 3id to 2s Vid, according to average and
quality. The demand for this article has been greater
than for many years past, and that, too, in the face of
advancing prices. Of deals one cargo has arrived from
St. John, N.B. The consumption of this article during
the last three months has been on a large scale, and the
deliveries have exceeded 15,000 standard. The cargo now
landing is held by the importers to realise cost of.import_
and charges.
